A new state-of-the-art slag press is being installed at our Karmøy plant. This will allow us to recycle waste from #aluminium production. “Not only will the quality of the product be higher, but we will reduce both operating costs and waste from production" explains Pål T. Endresen, plant manager at Speira Karmøy. Recycling and treatment of aluminium slag is an important part of our strategy to become the industry benchmark in #sustainability by delivering high-quality low-carbon and #recycling capabilities. #redefinethelimits #inspeiradbyaluminium #closetheloop

Over time, aluminium retains its #quality without any loss. This ensures reliable performance for years to come. It is corrosion resistant, which means low maintenance and long-term #durability. In addition, aluminium is a lightweight material that improves fuel efficiency and performance. That's why Keith Wright, project manager at Diverse Marine, chose our VIA Maris Njørdal aluminium solution for shipbuilding. Diverse Marine is at the forefront of #aluminium vessel construction and is building its fleet for the future. #redefinethelimits #inspeiradbyaluminium #shipbuilding

We were delighted to host the Constantia Flexibles team at our Rheinwerk casthouse and UBC sorting line. The engaging discussions and exchanges on low carbon #aluminium were truly enriching. We look forward to continuing our successful collaboration! #redefinethelimits #inspeiradbyaluminium

Exciting developments at Speira R&D in Bonn! Our test trials at the Recycling Technology Center are diving into the intricacies of #aluminium scrap melting. We are evaluating the performance of various energy sources for melting different aluminium scrap types while also analyzing how different processing methods affect scrap behavior during melting. Here is a glimpse into our last test: A minimum of 300 kg of input material is manually charged into the lab single-chamber furnace. After complete melting, we skim the furnace and extract a representative dross sample. Following this, we empty the furnace in 250 kg ingots and take spectrometer and melt-quality samples during the casting process. In other trials, the same lab furnace is set up as a shaft furnace to resemble our production #recycling furnaces, which are capable of melting scrap with up to 5% organic content. This allows us to match scrap, furnace and charging method in the best possible way. #redefinethelimits #inspeiradbyaluminium #researchanddevelopment

Whether you're in the food industry, #pharmaceuticals or any other sector - we offer a range of aluminium foil solutions to meet your specific needs. Our VELA solutions protect against external influences and fulfill all #hygiene demands. And they are also extremely lightweight. Aluminium foil is ideal in terms of appearance, because it brings with it two other major advantages: It can be applied very well decoratively and can be printed with high resolution using modern processes such as flexographic printing, gravure and offset printing. That's why we're proud to offer high-quality #aluminium foil products designed to meet the demands of today's businesses. #redefinethelimits #inspeiradbyaluminium #aluminiumfoil

We continue our transformation for aluminium #recycling with our new furnace 6! With this furnace, we are now able to produce more slabs at the Hamburg casthouse while incorporating more scrap. This allows us to reduce our CO2 footprint and metal costs. Dr. Nils Bauerschlag explains: "While designing the new furnace, we also considered #safety aspects by incorporating many new features that allow us to operate this furnace much safer than before". With furnace 6, we are implementing state-of-the-art energy efficiency and process control for our customers. Alexander Doersel highlights: "This new furnace is important for us. It will optimize metal flows and increase recycling opportunities within Speira.”   We look forward to the positive impact on our operations and our commitment to #sustainability. #redefinethelimits #inspeiradbyaluminium

At our safety day in the Rheinwerk plant, we set up interactive stations where employees could see the consequences of workplace accidents. These demonstrations highlighted critical concepts such as blind spots and the serious risks associated with situations where escape is impossible. During the event, we emphasized the importance of our four pillars in ensuring a safe work environment: 1. Work safety: Our top priority, ensuring that all employees work in a safe work environment. 2. Quality: Maintaining high standards in every aspect of our production to prevent errors that could lead to accidents. 3. Performance: Achieve efficiency and productivity without compromising safety or quality. 4. Culture and Trust: Fostering a workplace culture based on trust. These pillars are critical to each other; neglecting one can compromise the stability of the entire system. By diligently supporting each pillar, we foster a robust and safe work environment. #redefinethelimits #inspeiradbyaluminium

Aluminium as a game changer - Discover the innovation behind Oyster Thermal performance coolers: our VERSA 8006 aluminium solution was instrumental in producing the world's first performance cooler. Conventional cool boxes are heavy and lose cooling efficiency rapidly.   Ian Sandmæl, Oyster's co-founder and product designer, sought a sustainable, lightweight, and highly insulating alternative. The solution lay in vacuum insulation technology and the use of #aluminium, which offered the necessary technical and aesthetic properties. VERSA 8006’s excellent deep drawing capabilities, superior thermal #conductivity and impermeable barrier were key to achieving optimal cooling performance.
