The Dross Press works on the principle of compressing and cooling dross as quickly as possible with its patented press head cooling technology, fume extraction systems and other special technical features. This preserves valuable aluminium which would otherwise be lost to oxidation (1% loss per minute). This benefit comes in two forms; in-house drain and secondary recovery.

TARDIS Gen II Dross Presses are powered by reliable, low maintenance hydraulic power packs. Advanced electrical controls allow for full automation of the machine, operational versatility and a user friendly interface. The press structure is significantly stronger and durable compared with earlier ALTEK models to provide longevity in the tough working environment of an aluminium cast house.

There are a number of different TARDIS Gen II models with over 40 pan set designs to suit almost any configuration of furnace size, sill height, dross type and dross production. This includes for black dross as well as white dross.

ALTEK presents the most versatile and cost-effective Electromagnetic Stirring (EMS) system available to the aluminium industry.

Since its launch in 2009/2010, ALTEK's Low Energy, Air-Cooled Electromagnetic Stirrers have become the benchmark for non-contact furnace stirring technology.
 

ALTEK have developed a specialised salt slag press to extract as much aluminium out of slag as possible. Salt slag differs from aluminium dross due to it having a lower aluminium content and a higher temperature when taken out of the furnace.

ALTEK’s salt slag press is designed and programmed to match these differing needs so as to maximise aluminium extraction, and therefore saving you money and increasing aluminium recovery.
