[SMM News] It was reported that on January 29, Chalco Qingdao Light Metal Co., Ltd. planned to invest 13.5 million yuan in a technological transformation project for its aluminum alloy flat ingot production line. The project is located within the existing processing workshop of the company's plant in the Lingang Economic Development Zone, Qingdao West Coast New Area.
Due to the prolonged use of the existing vertical casting machine, which has led to higher equipment energy consumption and a decline in product quality, the enterprise intends to invest 13.5 million yuan to purchase a set of hydraulic semi-continuous casting equipment, along with supporting flat ingot sawing machines, degassing units, filtration devices, and other equipment. This will upgrade the existing wrought aluminum alloy ingot (aluminum alloy flat ingot) production line and its equipment. The project is expected to commence operation in May 2026.
