TALUM Group

Due to their characteristics, cast alloys enable the use of large-scale casting procedures (pressure casting and casting in moulds) with high productivity. We produce them in the form of cast ingots and mould cast ingots.

Use:

• automotive industry (rims, bodywork, motor parts, chassis parts),
• aeronautical industry,
• shipping industry,
• civil engineering,
• food industry.

The characteristics of cast alloys are low specific weight, good corrosive resistance, good workability, clear and smooth surface and non-magnetic properties. We produce all main types of cast alloys. As alloy elements mostly silicon, copper, magnesium, zinc and manganese are used.

The process is managed with a combination of production, control and information technologies. 

The production of the primary aluminium is a recognisable marker of our company. This is not just the production; it is a story, an inspiration, a centre of our activity and the activity of our predecessors. It has been for more than 60 years. Since we belong among top-notch producers of the primary aluminium, we believe that the story of the aluminium in Kidričevo will continue with success.

The production of electrolytic aluminium

The production of electrolytic aluminium
Namely, at the end of 2007 we stopped producing aluminium in the electrolytic hall B, where aluminium had been produced since the very year 1963. Abolishment of the electrolysis B was a part of the production restructure, with which Talum switched to a new strategy of development. Without the electrolysis B the production in Talum was completely in accordance with ecological standards IPPC and with the Environmental Permit given by the Ministry of Agriculture and Environment, the Agency of the Republic of Slovenia for the Environment.

A Roll-Bond evaporator is a heat exchanger, which is mainly used in refrigerators and freezers. Its primary function is to remove the heat from the air inside of the fridge or the freezer. Roll-Bond evaporators provide the best results (among competing technologies) in term of energy consumption of the refrigerators. They are mainly used for appliances with the highest energy efficiency classes A++ and A +++ and better.

Roll-Bond evaporator panel is made of two welded aluminium plates, between which a channel system is formed. On the places where we would like to have channels formed, we print on one aluminium plate (inner surface) a picture of channels with a special paste, which prevents bonding of aluminium plates when they are rolled together. After rolling, the channels between the two aluminium plates are inflated by a special inflation process. Evaporator plates are then prepared for further operations.

The production of slugs is per order and comprises two types of products:
- Slugs for the packaging industry,
- Slugs for technical parts
- Discs, which are built into the bottoms of stainless cooking vessels.

Slugs are semi products intended for counter-rotating extrusion. Our customers use them for the production of tubes and containers in the pharmaceutical, food and cosmetic industry. Through development and growth of the business scope we successfully entered the technical parts market, where technically demanding parts are produced from slugs, mainly for the needs of the car and electro industry.
We produce round slugs with or without a hole. Slugs are flat or cambered (conically or spherically), according to the needs of the customer. The thickness of slugs we can offer to the customer is between 3 and 11 mm. All slugs are soft annealed and surface-treated. We are the only producer of slugs in the world that can offer three different kinds of surface treatments: sandblasting, vibration and drumming. Slugs can be packed in standard boxes with a capacity of 25 kg or in more packaging units, such as plastic containers or bags, having a capacity of 500 kg and more.
Discs are discs with a diameter of 80 to 225 mm and a thickness of 2 to 10 mm. We offer discs with or without noses. Due to the annealing process, all discs are grease-free and with extremely narrow tolerance of thickness and curvature variations. They are produced in strict accordance with the requirements applicable to the production of the narrow strip from which they are cut out.

The production of discs is carried out in accordance with standards ISO 9001, ISO 14001 and ISO 18001. A lot of effort is put into prevention; therefore, the entire production is computerized and controlled, which allows a thorough management of the production process and timely prevention of errors. The result of our work is a quality product, resulting in a satisfied customer.
