German aluminium producer Speira is investing approximately €11 million in four new tiltable rotary furnaces at its Grevenbroich and Töging plants in Germany to enhance the recycling of lower-grade aluminium scrap. This investment includes advanced burner technology and automated charging systems to increase metal yield and reduce carbon emissions. The new furnaces will be capable of recycling heavily contaminated scrap and aluminium dross, contributing to a more sustainable recycling process.
Ralf Koring, Speira’s head of recycling services, emphasized the company’s commitment to maximizing the recycling of all aluminium-containing materials, not just pure scraps. The furnaces will be delivered and installed in stages, with the Grevenbroich furnaces starting production in May 2024 and May 2026, and the Töging furnaces in October 2024 and October 2026.
Earlier this month, Speira announced a €35 million investment in a new furnace at its facility in Holmestrand, Norway, to process an additional 22,000 tonnes of aluminium scrap annually.
