Hüttenes-Albertus takes responsibility.
Whether as supplier or consultant, employer or neighbour: We bear responsibility.
With this in mind, we act responsibly towards people and our natural resources.
We carry on intensive research to apply the specialist know-how in foundry chemistry which we have accumulated over many decades of years to new research approaches in the quest of devising even more efficient and environmentally friendly foundry processes together with our customers.
What does this mean for HA?
Hüttenes-Albertus and its team have been known to the foundry community as specialists in efficient products and processes for many decades.
We prepare for the challenges of tomorrow by:
- Intensive research in the area of sustainable and environmentally sound binder systems
- Modern research methods
- Close cooperation with universities and institutes
- Extensive investment in new production equipment
HA recognised environmental protection as an opportunity for the foundry industry decades ago. With this in mind, we systematically promote product developments aimed at protecting the environment. We research and develop products that help our customers reduce emissions in their production processes and keep raw materials in circulation. We take appropriate measures to minimise the general environmental impact of our production processes and products, as well as their impacts on our immediate neighbourhood.
From the selection of the right sand to core production, from drying and casting to the regeneration or landfill disposal of used sand:
There are many sources of emissions in any foundry. At the same time, the regulatory requirements for keeping the environment clean are becoming increasingly stringent all over the world. Foundries are therefore increasingly faced with the challenge of reducing emissions. Of course, this must not be at the expense of product quality, productivity or efficiency. There is a need for chemical casting solutions that achieve this balancing act between lower emissions (BTX, CO2, smoke, odour, etc.) and uncompromising performance.
By promoting the reuse of foundry sand and its return to the material cycle, we can help increase sustainability in every sector of the foundry industry.
Recycling has long been common practice and an everyday reality in the foundry industry. Foundries have always recovered and recycled process materials such as metal and sand which are in turn used to produce moulding materials and cast products. It is in everyone’s interest to regenerate and reuse core and moulding sand. However, after regeneration, some sands have changed properties.
