Liquid aluminum provides the following advantages: • Just-in-time delivery • Delivery of treated alloy with no remelting need • Inventory cost reduction (does not require storage) • Gain in foundry area • Energy savings (holding furnace has lower consumption than melting furnace) • Installation cost (melting furnaces cost more than holding furnaces) • Savings in ingot remelting • Reduction in process time and labor needed in the remelting process • Elimination of remelting losses and reduction of residue generation • Increase of working capital related to raw material Inbra Metais has an integrated logistic system specifically designed for liquid aluminum delivery where special 3 to 7 ton pans are used for transportation holding the material at a temperature of approximately 780ēC.
