From Research to a Megawatt Prototype
TPS | WERNER WIGGEN, Managing Director From Research to a Megawatt Prototype Inductively Coupled Plasma as a Key Technology for Electric Process Heat Decarbonizing energy-intensive industrial processes is one of the greatest challenges of the coming years. The aluminum industry in particular faces the task of replacing fossil fuels such as natural gas with climate-friendly alternatives without compromising product quality, economic viability, or facility availability. One promising solution is the use
Unlocking the Full Potential of Aluminum Profiles
EBNER | MARKUS GANGL, Senior Product Manager Unlocking the Full Potential of Aluminum Profiles Experience the Future of Aluminum Profile Heat Treatment with EBNER Whether in aerospace, transportation, defense, or demanding industrial applications, aluminum profiles are expected to deliver an exceptional combination of strength, dimensional accuracy, corrosion resistance, and reliability. Achieving these properties requires more than high-quality alloys. It depends on a precisely controlled heat treatment process that ensures consistent
Comprehensive Modernization of an EBNER HICON® Pusher Furnace
At Yeongju in South Korea, NOVELIS Korea is modernizing the HICON® pusher furnace facility that has been in operation since 2005 in cooperation with EBNER. The existing facility is used for heating and homogenizing aluminum ingots and represents an essential part of the production chain.
CONTIGRID™
Hazelett and Eagle Oxide introduce CONTIGRID™, a fully integrated lead grid manufacturing platform designed to deliver a continuous, synchronized process from melt to finished grid. Beyond just the equipment, a deep process and integration experience is offered, unique in the industry.
ETI Aluminyum invests in Stateof- the-Art EBNER Technology
Patience, perseverance, and a partnership built on mutual trust and collaboration have paid off: ETI Aluminyum A.S., Turkey’s only fully integrated aluminum production facility, has chosen to invest in two state-of-the-art heat treatment plants from EBNER.
Customized EBNER Service Project
As early as 1995, the first EBNER bell annealer for wire went into operation at the customer’s facility, followed by another plant in 2004. In the years that followed, contact was continuously maintained through spare parts supply and service support.
The Electric Pusher Furnace
The metals industry is undergoing a fundamental transformation driven by rising energy costs, tightening environmental regulations, and the global push toward decarbonized production.
Electrification as the Key to Decarbonization
Together with AMAG Austria Metall AG in Ranshofen, EBNER is actively driving this change and demonstrating how existing heat treatment facilities can be prepared for a low-carbon future.
