SkyMetall Aluminium Production
The first step in ensuring high quality aluminium alloys ingots, is by sourcing good quality scrap. We utilise our extensive trading experience to source scrap, which is purchased from approved suppliers from both overseas and domestic markets
Process

We focus on producing high grade secondary alloys, with a large emphasis on tolling customers’ scrap to enable them to retain their metal units. Alloys are produced in 5Kg ingots, strapped and packed in 600Kg bundles
The Quality

Each batch of ingot produced undergoes constant monitoring and testing throughout the production process using the latest emission spectrometry. Before casting, gas contents are determined by pin-hole testing equipment. Inclusion levels are determined by K-mould. Our constant commitment to quality and continuous improvement is reinforced by our purchase of the KV counter. This instrument, developed by Nippon Light Metals, accurately quantifies the inclusion levels in the K mould, and is the first instrument of its kind commercially in use outside of the Toyota Group in Japan.
