TALUM Group

Our production of ALUMINIUM CASTINGS is based on three casting technologies (tilt gravity, low pressure, high pressure die casting), heat and surface treatments, as well CNC machining, powder coating, anodization and assembly. Part of the production process also involves control methods (x-ray, crack detection, leak and cleanliness test, CMM etc.).

Our clients are OEMs/TIER1s in industries as diverse as:

passenger cars

• e-mobility (battery housing, balancing discs, stator housing)
• suspension (brackets)
• powertrain (housings)

commercial vehicles

• suspension (housings)
• powertrain (brackets)

motorcycles

• suspension (swing arms, hubs)
• powertrain (housings, covers)

heating industry

• heat exchangers

compressors

• filter housings

sky lifts

• ropeway wheels

By servicing and maintaining our equipment, we provide a continuous manufacturing process, project engineering and machine construction for the needs of Talum and external customers, and we also sell technological knowledge and equipment.

We provide robotisation and automation, and also perform digitalisation projects which are intended for process optimisation.

We control the following complex areas:

• Gravity tilt casting: robotic melt pouring, cleaning of castings, general renovation and upgrade of casting machines, refractory linings, creation of tools for tilt and low-pressure casting.
• High-pressure die casting and low-pressure die casting: refractory lining, automated casting creation process, production of tools.
• Process automation: operation of processing and casting machines, automation of production lines, process automation.
• Machine construction: creation of devices (machines) according to documents provided by the customer (steel construction, assembly of hydraulics, pneumatics and electric components).
• Other services: repair (hydraulics, pneumatics), manufacturing welded pieces, creation of machine elements.

We are also a leading European manufacturer of Heat Transfer Plates, manufactured with the roll-bond technology. Based on more than 65 years of knowledge and experience, TALUM has proved itself as a reliable development supplier, offering custom solutions for battery and other EV components cooling, under the HEATRAPLATES brand. Our mission is to support our customers from the idea to the serial production.

as:

Interleaving cooling plates
Bottom cooling plates
Moulded-in cooling plates
A good heat transfer between the batteries and the cold plate in combination with a well-designed channel structure ensures unified temperature distribution on the cooling surface, which results in good battery pack performance and prolonged battery lifespan.

By continuously investing into the growth and development of slug and disc manufacturing, we have become one of the most important and technologically advanced manufacturers in the world.

Slugs are an intermediate product for cut-down extrusion. Our customers use them to manufacture tubes and doses in the pharmaceutical, food, cosmetic and chemical industry. With the development and growth of the scope of our manufacturing processes, we have also successfully entered the market of technical parts where slugs are used to manufacture technically complex products, mainly for the needs of the automobile and electric industry.

Slugs for prismatic battery housing

Geometry:

Thickness of slugs:
from 3.0 mm up to 11.00 mm

• Tumbled

Production programes:

• The production of electrolytic aluminium

The development of the Talum Group is based on almost 70 years of tradition in manufacturing primary (electrolytic) aluminium.

• A production of anodes

The anodes are positive electrodes and we use them in electrolytic cells in the process of the aluminium production.

• Baking services

We offer complete solutions for baking anodes and calcination of fine grain carbon. The technology allows us to fully adapt the calcination regime at three different fires to various technological requirements, in particular the gradient of heating and the maximum temperature of baking (1,300 °C).

• Purchase of waste aluminium

In Talum we buy and process a broad spectrum of waste aluminium, which includes materials within a field of primary and secondary waste aluminium.

A storehouse of the waste aluminium with its area ensures constant receipt of material in all weather conditions, with the emphasis on bulk cargo. We are equipped with devices for a mechanical preparation of material. These devices enable the processing of materials, which contain additions of plastic and iron. In the assigned melting aggregates in the foundry, we process surface clear and unclear materials with a high efficiency.
