Rodabell will soon begin the modernization of two aluminum plate casting machines in a large European smelter. The company, located in Poland, has opted for the development plan for equipment in the work of processing and treatment of aluminum plate metal presented by the company mariñana the last quarter of 2016.

In the precontracting phase, with a very close signature date, the works are presented in two phases: a first one to have the equipment installed and commissioned in October 2017; And the second that commits the conclusion and implementation of the work in March 2018.

This work is a further step in the internationalization of Rodabell’s global projects, whose objectives are to extend its activity in the international market beyond the sale of consumables.

Within the RODABELL miscellaneous product catalog we can find the two types of moldings: “Non-wetting moldable” and “Clean moldable wool”. These mastics (commonly referred to as “mastic”) are designed to be applied downstream of metal treatment operations and provide an easily molded ready-mixed composition for application in molten aluminum environments.

Its applications include the realization of joints between channels, channels and forms, the repair of refractory materials, and the function as a protective shield against high temperatures in the coating of metals. In addition, its refractory composition makes it possible to be applied quickly and simply.

These impermeable mastics are rated “Excellent” after passing the 72 hour cup test using alloy 7078 to 985 degrees Celsius. They also offer superior mechanical strength, high adhesion and excellent insulation.

The auction of distribution of the electric bonuses of the great industry for 2017 concluded with favorable results for the multinational Alcoa. This has obtained the best results of the last three years, with three blocks of 90 MW and another two for the aluminum factories of A Coruña and Avilés, for which it will receive about 130 million euros. Also auctioned 415 blocks of 5 MW, over which the US multinational has not provided information.

These results have been validated by the National Commission on Markets and Competition (CNMC), after which Alcoa will shortly make its own assessment of the results obtained. According to the multinational, the interruptibility gives visibility to a year, which does not provide a basis for future investments, and ensures that it will continue to collaborate with the institutions to achieve this more stable and long-term framework. About what has not yet appeared is the possible sale of the three Spanish primary aluminum factories (in A Coruña, San Cibrao and Avilés), but has ensured that these results ensure the viability of the three factories that the multinational Of aluminum has in Spain and makes them more attractive for potential investors.
