Smelters of all sizes partner with Aminco to supply their carbon anodes — short-term (operationally), medium-term (tactically) or long-term (strategically). Demand is based on varied internal and external pressures; for example… the need for a furnace repair/rebuild… the opportunity for price arbitrage between anodes and CPC markets… to defer capital expenditures for conversion of Soderberg capacity to pre-bake… to keep pace with aluminum production capacity creep… and/or any number of environmental concerns including the need to reduce GHG emissions in the manufacturing process by utilizing Aminco’s more energy-efficient anodes.
The Aminco professional team offers comprehensive expertise to facilitate the process at each step for existing and new partners:
Send us a set of specifications including your Pot Cell characteristics and the critical operating parameters within your company’s pots.
Provide technical drawings of the precise configuration of the anode.
Determine the required volumes.
Aminco then makes an offer. Sometimes, but not always, a trial may be produced to verify performance and adherence to specifications.
Contact Aminco Anodes, we look forward to hearing from you.
