Alumil is one of the most advanced companies globally owning state-of-the art production lines in their 12 factories in Europe (www.alumil.com). Through their modern production facilities and stringent quality controls throughout the production line, they ensure the creation of superior products with high added value. Alumil wanted to increase the productivity and the quality of the profile by applying liquid nitrogen technology: with Atieuno services and N5Nitrogen the productivity was increased by 32%, significantly improving the quality of the profiles.<\/p>\n

Alumil aimed to improve significantly its extrusion process by applying liquid nitrogen technology and re-designing some die to maximize the benefits granted by N5 Nitrogen system, in cooperation with the die supplier. The goal was to increase productivity and quality, freeing production capacity and improving the competitive advantage. How product helped.<\/p>\n

The entire project, including implementation, Go Live and User Training lasts about five months, while the implementation of the system only required a couple of weeks. An additional challenge to be faced was due to Covid-19, forcing us to perform the final startup remotely, ensuring the usual standard level of quality. Data Management & Traceability N5 Nitrogen saves all the production data and creates the recipes by die-alloy, making all the data available to any other system. The recipes are automatically set to the PLCs to ensure the highest repeatability.<\/p>\n
