ALUMINIUM AS RAW MATERIAL

Aluminium is a natural element that weighs only one third of the weight of steel. Using aluminium as raw material saves energy because the melting point of aluminium is 650 degrees Celsius. Also, aluminium does not let harmful gases into the air while melting. Although aluminium at present does not decompose into the nature it is a fully recyclable material. The quality of aluminium endures even re-using the material, recycling in the long run is profitable because the deficit even in re-use is very small, only three percent.
Because of its durability, aluminium is also environment friendly. Aluminium is not corroded, does not absorb water nor break or split when temperatures varying. Aluminium does not corrode in water or air but forms a natural oxide protection on the surface.

The greatest advantage of aluminium is its easy care. Aluminium product only needs cleaning.

End product energy consumption is reduced

When the weight of the vehicle is reduced, consumption of fuel drops and energy efficiency grows. This ensures the reduction also in exhaust fumes thus reducing the pressure on the environment. When the weight of the vehicle reduces by 100 kg, consumption of fuel drops circa 0,6 l/100 km. If the car mileage reaches 100.000 km per year, fuel saving is 600 litres. Reduction in fossil fuels also saves the environment.

Environment friendly production line
