ALTEMIRA Co., Ltd. has aluminum recycling plants throughout Japan. ALTEMIRA Co., Ltd. is a company that recycles aluminum cans. When recycled, aluminum can be made with 3% energy.
Manufacturing aluminum cans from bauxite aluminum ore can significantly reduce the burden on the environment. Recycling aluminum saves 97% of energy compared to making it new. Today I will show you the process of recycling from the used aluminum can into new aluminum cans. So, shall we check it out together? Used Aluminum can collected across Japan disintegrator
Aluminum cans are transported by conveyor and sent to crusher Dispersing aluminum cans in a crusher Afterwards, the aluminum cans are transported on a conveyor.
Go to the foreign matter screening line In the foreign matter sorting line, three types of sorting machines are used.
Remove foreign substances Foreign matter screening
In a magnetic separator, iron contaminants are removed by magnets. In a wind sorter, aluminum cans are blown by wind power. Foreign substances are removed by varying the falling point due to the difference in specific gravity. Non-ferrous sorting machines use eddy currents to remove foreign substances. Aluminum cans with foreign substances removed are stored in storage facilities. Afterwards, it is sent from the storage facility to a special roasting oven. Special furnace (roasting oven)
Specially designed to remove paint printed on aluminum cans Paint is removed by baking aluminum cans with high-temperature gas. Dissolution
Melt aluminum cans at high temperatures above 700℃. casting
Molten aluminum is made into slabs. Slabs for rolling Slabs for rolling are delivered to the rolling factory. rolling factory Rolling
Roll the slab to make it thinner Hot rolling
After heating the rolled slab to over 500℃,
Make a 600mm slab with a thickness of about 3mm rolling control center cutting
The front and rear ends are cut because they cannot be used as products. Wind it into a coil shape cold rolled
It is made into thinner plates by rolling with a cold rolling mill. This 10-ton coil can make about 750,000 aluminum cans. aluminum can manufacturing plant Install aluminum coil Press
Cut into disk shapes and form into cups. Cup Shape body maker press
Press into aluminum can shape Aluminum cans are moved to the cleaning process can washer
Cleaning and surface treatment of aluminum cans Aluminum can completion Process of making aluminum can lids Press Apply rubber to improve sealing with a compound liner. This is the material of the tab used to open aluminum cans. conversion press
The drinking opening and tab of the lid are molded and combined at the same time with one press. Afterwards, all items are automatically inspected, the number of sheets is counted, and the bags are packed. Packaging Aluminum can Aluminum can lid Kawawa Industrial Co., Ltd. located in Ibaraki Prefecture, Japan. Kawawa Industrial has been making large-scale aluminum for 60 years since its foundation. Today, I will show you the process of large-scale aluminum casting. Then, shall we check it out together? Make a mold by putting sand into a model that is exactly like the product. Remove the model from the mold that has hardened with resin. Dry the mold using fire. Merge the upper part of the mold Melt the aluminum alloy in a furnace at 720℃ or higher Pour the aluminum alloy melted at 720℃ or higher into the mold. When the aluminum is sufficiently solidified, remove the mold and take out the product. Remove unnecessary parts other than the product. Shot Blast
Smoothing the surface of aluminum using small metal balls. Camera Inspection
The camera checks whether the product is manufactured to the correct dimensions. Founded in 1982, Tanabe Co., Ltd. manufactures and sells suspensions, mufflers, and wheels. Today, I will show you the process of making aluminum wheels. Let's take a look together. 3D design Center disc production process Surface treatment (shot blast) Hole drilling Painting Rim production process Spinning processing (inner rim) Spinning (outer rim) Pressing Heat treatment (inner rim) Bonding process Surface treatment Welding Finishing Packaging Almo Co., Ltd. in Nagaoka City, Niigata Prefecture Almo is a company that casts aluminum alloy castings. Today, we will show you the process by which aluminum parts for rail cars are made at Armo. Then, shall we check it out together? process of melting aluminum
