Aluminium sets trends world-wide

In the economic production of high-quality aluminium products, such as films, bands, sheet metals, or window profiles for the automotive and aviation industry, medical technology, or construction, fully automated crane systems from Vollert ensure resource-protecting and efficient transport solutions. The range of automatic crane systems comprises the transport of raw aluminium slabs, logistical connection of hot and cold-rolling mills, the handling of aluminium coils weighing up to 35 t and hotter than several hundred degrees as well as the transport of aluminium extruded profiles in skips.

Renowned customers from the aluminium industry

Our automatic crane ensure the efficient transport of material e.g. between the saw of the press discharge system, the aging furnaces and the further processing and packaging stations. Transport and production control systems, as well as host systems with connection to the ERP system ensure perfect linking of all processes. Renowned customers such as Hydro, Aleris, Novelis, AMAG, Neuman, HAI, or Zhongwang have trusted in our solutions and our know-how for decades.

Slab and coil transport cranes

Optimal networking of the various bearing and material processing operations in the rolling mill is crucial. This requires fully automated intralogistics solutions that ensure resource-saving and efficient processes. From automatic cranes for the transport of the raw aluminum slabs, crane systems for furnace and roll charging to transport and crane solutions for the aluminum coils weighing up to 35 tons and hotter than several hundred degrees celsius.

Long-bar cranes

We often encounter aluminum profiles in everyday life, whether as window frames or fence systems. What they all have in common is the manufacturing process. Extruded profiles are pressed from aluminum billets, cut to transportable lengths and automatically stacked in transport baskets. Depending on the intended use, the extruded profiles can be heat-treated in aging furnaces and further refined by anodizing or powder coating before further processing. We realize for you the complete material flow automation from the delivery of the billets to the dispatch of the aluminum profiles. Our crane systems ensure smooth material transport between the saw of the press outfeed system, the aging furnaces and the further processing and packaging stations.

Sheet metal handling cranes

In order to produce aluminum sheets economically for automobiles or aircraft, for example, the material flows and storage times in component production must be optimally designed. Not only must all transport routes and warehouse management be integrated, the often very sensitive materials must also find their way from A to B without damage. Downtimes or damaged intermediate products are expensive. Sheet metal handling cranes play the main role here for smooth transport.
