Advanced Technologies for Responsible Aluminum
Fives designs and supplies process equipment and complete smelter installations for the carbon and electrolysis sectors of the primary aluminum industry.
Working alongside aluminum producers, we develop innovative solutions tailored to increasing production capacities and high-amperage potlines, with the goal of simplifying operations, optimizing operating costs, and supporting more responsible aluminum production.
Optimizing Electrolysis Operations Productivity
Through its ECL product range, Fives designs innovative Pot Tending Machines (PTM). These machines are engineered to meet the growing demands of the aluminum industry by maintaining high productivity while supporting increasing plant amperage.
ECL machines are fully equipped to perform key operations such as anode changing and covering, metal tapping, and a wide range of material handling tasks.
Advanced Technology for Anode Baking Furnaces
Within its ECL product range, Fives designs advanced Furnace Tending Assemblies (FTA). Developed by our engineering teams, these machines are engineered to meet the evolving production demands of the aluminum industry, including higher productivity requirements and reduced maintenance costs.
The ECL furnace tending machine is capable of handling between 60,000 and 120,000 anodes per year. It features a unique, patented tool-positioning system that provides enhanced visibility and improved ease of operation.
Digital Solutions for More Responsible Aluminum Production
Reducing pollutant emissions and optimizing the use of energy and resources has become a key challenge for the aluminum industry. Proven technologies already support a more responsible production, and Fives continues to develop digital solutions to drive this transition further.
Amelios Suite enables full control of the anode manufacturing process, a critical step in aluminum production.
SMARTCrane ECL provides remote monitoring of overhead cranes through sensors and data analysis.
Connected GTC combines gas treatment with continuous emissions monitoring to reduce environmental impact.
Fives Connect centralizes customer services to simplify operations, maintenance, and spare parts purchasing.
