Capabilities
Element 13: Our best-in-class recycling facility has the capacity to recycle nearly 20 billion cans per year, positioning us as one of the world’s largest recyclers of used beverage cans (UBC).
Casting: Our casthouse has five melting furnaces, six holding furnaces, and five electro-magnetic casting pits that are capable of producing six ingots per drop, with widths from 65” to 77”.
Hot Mill: All of the plant’s products are processed through hot rolling. Our hot mill consists of three mills that compress 30,000-pound slabs of aluminium.
Cold Mill: The cold rolling facility is comprised of two three-stand mills and one five-stand mill. The three-stand tandem cold mills are used for automotive sheet and finished body stock for aluminium cans. The five-stand mill finish rolls end and tab stock for aluminium cans. These mills are equipped with modern controls, including a hydraulic automatic gauge control and a shape meter. Finished products vary in thickness from approximately .0080 inches to much heavier gauges, and are conditioned by the cold working of the mill for formability and strength as per customer specifications.
Coating: The final stop for end stock and similar packaging products is the coating facility, with a high-speed, state-of-the-art coating line that trims, levels, pre-treats, rinses, applies, and cures an organic coating on both sides of the aluminium sheet. These coating options can be clear base coats or a variety of colors and protective finishes, depending on end use.
Finishing: Our sheet finishing department consists of multiple slitting operations to trim according to customer specification. We recycle 100% of all trim scrap, collected through a quick draft system and returned to the casthouse. Our finishing department produces 3 million lbs per day on average.
Pack/Ship: In addition to supplying aluminium beverage packaging to prominent brands, Muscle Shoals supplies coils of Auto Body Sheet substrate to our CALP line in Bowling Green, KY. The automotive sheet is prepped, packed, and loaded for shipment to Bowling Green, to be prepped for automotive parts such as car hoods, doors, roofs, and structural parts.
