The line provided by SAT includes three anodising and an electro-colouring tank.
SAT – Surface Aluminium Technology has announced the successful start-up of the first anodising system of the Irish company AMS - Architectural & Metal Systems, located in Cork.
AMS is a company specialised since 1990 in aluminium extrusion operations and the subsequent production of aluminium profiles for several applications, such as façades, doors and windows for commercial and residential projects in Ireland, the United Kingdom and all over the world.
The line designed by SAT foresees three anodising tanks, each equipped with a rectifier of 15.000A, and an electro-colouring tank equipped with a transformer of 8000A in order to allow to obtain a champagne, bronze, brown or black finish.
The system is equipped with three bridge cranes able to handle two anodic bars at the same time which also feature a device on board to adjust the distance between the bars. In addition, to eliminate the drop of productivity due to the return in counter-flow of the empty bars along the tanks line, SAT designed an extra crane operating at a higher level.
“A huge thank you goes to our Software Engineer Claudio Formica and our Electrical Technician Daniele Grecchi and to all the AMS people who followed and contributed to successfully conclude this project,” has commented Alessandro Corrà, the general manager of SAT.
