Sustainability trends

Boost efficiency to capture market gains

Reduce energy waste

Energy makes up 25% of production costs; melting uses 77% of that.

Prevent defects and downtime

Scrap and re-melting waste resources; aim for zero waste and first-time quality.

Minimize raw material loss

A 1% metal loss from 5,000 tons of aluminum can cost ~$85,000 annually.

Maximizing melting, minimizing energy waste

Maximize metal yield

100% yield, 489 kWh/t with StrikoMelter

Save energy during low demand
