ALUMINIUM SMELTERS

Pot lines that run for years without stopping. Anode plants under intense thermal and mechanical duty. We engineer for continuous smelter operation.

ALUMINIUM SMELTING — NON-STOP DUTY

Hall-Héroult aluminium smelting is one of the most demanding industrial processes for hydraulic and lubrication equipment. Pot line equipment operates continuously for years — crust breakers cycle thousands of times per day, pot-tending cranes move under high thermal and dust load, and the anode changing machines bear extreme weights in a fluoride-rich atmosphere.

Our installed base spans NALCO Angul smelter and Hindalco operations, covering HPU systems for pot-tending equipment, Lincoln auto-lubrication on crane drives, SKF bearing condition monitoring on critical assets, and Parker-standard hydraulic components throughout.

WHAT WE PROVIDE

  • Crust breaker hydraulic systems — high-cycle, thermally-rated
  • Pot-tending crane hydraulics and auto-lubrication
  • Anode changing machine hydraulic power units
  • Anode plant press hydraulics and bearing maintenance
  • Billet casting hydraulics — DC casting, mould lubrication
  • Rod mill and casting line drive condition monitoring
