The Hallmark
of Quality
Alumill Tech Gulf LLC is one of the foremost industrial leaders in top quality aluminium flat rolled
products, colour coated coils and sheets. The factory is one of the largest in all aluminium industry
in the Middle East and currently the only producer of continuous casting in the United Arab Emirates.

The Company manufacture and supply a wide range of aluminium coils & sheets for architectural &
non-architectural applications, interior & exterior use to cater sectors such as construction, roofing
& cladding, transportation, air conditioning & insulation and several other mechanical, engineering
and industrial purposes.

We’re proud to boast a state-of-the-art line production with complex machineries, a fully equipped
lab for an end-to-end testing solutions of materials. Alumill Tech Gulf is integrated with the Cast
House for a continuous production and the Mill Rolling process of coils directly from the caster
route, based on the advanced technology of Italian & European brand machineries such as
Presezzi SpA (Italy).

The Production
Melting & Holding Furnace

Process
Melting & Holding Furnace
Pure aluminium ingots are melted in the furnace reaching 1200 C° and alloyed with other elements by means of
master alloys such as iron, silicon, manganese and magnesium.

The material is analysed and adjusted to ensure that the correct composition is achieved. The alloy is created and
transferred to the holding furnace for direct casting.

Cast House for Continuous Casting

In the Cast House the hot metal is continuously casted to shape the coil form. Temperature drops around 700 C°
meanwhile process of degassing and filtration of the metal takes place.
Casting line detail
Thereafter application of graphite adds protection to the composition just before the rolling

Subsequently the hot metal is solidified in the shape of strips, in coil form. It drops to a temperature of 300 C° and
trimmed in the caster machine with on line edge milling for the next multi-stage rolling mill.

Continuous Coil casting

Cold Rolling Mill
After appropriate cooling and spool insertion, the cold rolled coils are processed in the mill rolling to reach the
thickness as per customer’s specific requirement.

The reversible rolling mill is a state-of-the-art machinery supplied by Presezzi SpA (Italy) and equipped with automatic
gauge measuring unit on each side to have a precise control on thicknesses and minimum tolerances.

Further treatment in the annealing furnace is processed to achieve the required temper-strength.

Tension Levelling and Cut to Length Line

The tension levelling line aim to test and improve the flatness of the material prior to coating or cut to length for final
output of coils and sheets. Successively the Cut to length line ensure the required size for the sheets.

Slitting Line
Production completion is achieved through the slitting line for side trimmings to ensure that coils are cut as per exact
required size in mill finish or coated finish.

Embossing Line
Upon request Alumill Tech can process an additional step to emboss the aluminium surface and offer a further
product very common in the market such as stucco sheets and coils.
 Coating Line
Surface Coating Line
The coil coating process it is a high-volume operation that produces a perfect finish based on a liquid application of
the common resins such as Polyester (PE) and Polyvinylidene fluoride (PVDF).

Liquid coating is well known to have a higher performance for gloss, resistance and uniformity of area coverage.

The aluminium substrate gets degreased and chemically pre-treated. Application of primer coating and top coating
takes place along with ancillary treatments. The typical paint system requirements took into consideration are
formability, scratch-resistance, appearance and weather ability.

LRV (light Reflective Value) and SRI (Solar Reflective Index) are top coating colours tested by DCL.

Main steps of the process are:

• Uncoiling
• Chemical Pre-treatment
• Drying
• Primer coating
• Top coating
• Curing oven
• Side trimming
• Recoiling
• Roll forming
• Packing
Quality Management
As per ISO 9001:2008 certification, Alumill Tech apply a stringent quality management to run efficiently the internal
procedures and so to ensure to its clients the product value. The Company is under process to update its level to
the new ISO 9001:2015 quality certification.

Our core competencies include an in-house R&D facility with technologically advanced machinery. We conduct
stringent testing at every stage of production in order to maintain consistency in the quality of products that we
manufacture at Alumill.

The standard checking steps for Casted and Mill Finish Coils are the following:

1. Chemical Composition
2. Ultimate tensile strength
3. Bend test
4. Flatness
5. Visual surface inspection

While for Coated coils the following checks are done to ensure the quality output:

1. Impact test
2. Bend test
3. Cupping test
4. Cross hatch test
5. Visual matching of colour
6. Coating Thickness
7. MEK test
8. Pencil Hardness test

Comprehensive testing facilities also include the following:

• Optical Emission Spectrometer for chemical

composition
• Microscope with image analyser for grain structure
and texture
• Universal testing machine for tensile strength and
elongation measurement
• Rockwell & Brinell hardness testing machine
• Digital Micro Ohm meter, Double Kevin Bridge
& Technology (AD current) for conductivity
measurement
• Ericsson Cupping Machine
• Inductive Couple Plasma (ICP) for testing
impurities in PPM levels
• Chemical Lab

*Once certificates are expired, will be available the renewed one

All aluminium alloys are also classified as either heat treatable or no-heat treatable. Heat treatable alloys attain
their maximum strength through controlled heat treatment.

The temper designation is as follow:

O. Annealed……………...Thermally treated to obtain the lowest strength temper
H. Strain hardened….……Cold working used to increase strength and hardness
T. Thermally treated..……..Heat treatment to produce stable tempers
