Speira’s Investment in New Tilt Furnaces
German aluminum producer Speira is investing approximately €11 million in four new tilt furnaces at its Grevenbroich and Töging plants to enhance the recycling of low-grade aluminum scrap. This investment includes advanced burner technology and an automated charging system designed to increase metal yield and reduce carbon emissions. The new furnaces will be capable of recycling heavily contaminated scrap and aluminum dross, contributing to a more sustainable recycling process.
Commitment to Sustainable Recycling
Ralf Koring, Speira’s Head of Recycling Services, emphasized the company’s commitment to maximizing the recycling of all aluminum-containing materials, not just clean scrap. The furnaces will be delivered and installed in phases, with the Grevenbroich furnaces scheduled to begin production in May 2024 and May 2026, and the Töging furnaces expected to start production in October 2024 and October 2026.
Other Investments by Speira
Earlier this month, Speira also announced a €35 million investment in a new furnace at its Holmestrand facility.
