Manufacturing Process

From Scrap to Specification.

Alucora follows a controlled closed-loop recycling route: sort, clean, melt, refine, verify and cast secondary aluminium into dependable ingots.

Closed-loop Recycling 5-stage flow

Production Flow

Five controlled stages from intake to ingot.

Each stage reduces uncertainty before the next one begins, so material cleanliness, chemistry and final casting quality stay connected through the whole run.

01

Scrap Sourcing & Segregation

Incoming aluminium streams such as tense, trup, UBC, extrusion scrap and industrial scrap are sorted by type, condition and contamination risk.

Material identity
02

Pre-treatment & Surface Stripping

Oil, paint, coatings, moisture and unwanted residues are reduced through cleaning and preparation before the material enters the furnace charge.

Cleaner charge
03

Controlled Smelting & Fusion

Prepared scrap is melted in temperature-monitored rotary or reverberatory furnaces, with fluxing and furnace discipline supporting dross removal.

Controlled melt
04

Refining, Degassing & Spectro Analysis

Impurities are removed, argon degassing supports melt quality, and spectrographic testing guides chemistry adjustment against the intended specification.

Verified chemistry
05

Precision Casting, Cooling & Stacking

Refined molten aluminium is poured into ingot molds, cooled under controlled conditions, visually inspected, bundled and prepared for dispatch.

Ready ingots

Process Control

Checks stay active through the complete melt cycle.

Production control begins before charging and continues through melt management, chemistry correction, casting review and final product verification.

Input Control

Incoming visual inspection, segregation and charge suitability checks.

Melt Control

Temperature discipline, furnace monitoring and refining checkpoints.

Chemistry Control

Spectro analysis and micro-alloy adjustment against intended specification.

Casting Control

Mold pouring, controlled cooling, ingot appearance and stack handling.

Final Verification

Batch release checks before product dispatch and supply communication.

Operational Depth

The metal is managed, not simply melted.

Alucora's manufacturing sequence is built around preparation, thermal control and composition verification so secondary aluminium can return to industrial use with confidence.

Sorted aluminium scrap prepared for processing
Prepared Feed

Clean charge, better furnace performance.

Sorting and pre-treatment reduce contamination, unwanted coatings and moisture before the melting stage.

Molten aluminium smelting in a foundry
Melt Refinement

Temperature, refining and degassing.

Controlled melting and refining help remove impurities and stabilize the melt before chemistry adjustment.

Laboratory testing aluminium alloy composition
Spectro Testing

Composition checked before release.

Spectrographic analysis supports alloy correction and final batch-level verification.

Raw Material Discipline

Sorting decisions shape the final alloy.

The feedstock mix is selected and segregated by material family, contamination level and production target. That discipline helps the melt shop protect final chemistry and reduce avoidable process loss.
