aluminium slugs
The production of Aluminum slugs starts with loading furnaces with raw Aluminum in the form of Aluminum ingot, followed by a hot/cold rolling process, stamping, annealing, surface finish, and selection and packaging. Aluminum slugs are eco-friendly and recyclable and thus, successfully securing a key position in various industries like packaging, where they are impact extruded to make extruded aerosol cans, automotive cans, aluminium collapsible tubes and more. Healthcare, paint, food & beverage, pharmaceuticals, and many other industries, at the same time, are also looking at an increasing use of Aluminum slugs owing to rust resistance property and lighter weight that further give an advantage over other types of metal slugs and extended the scope for the global market, including Europe.
haomei aluminium has a long-standing tradition in the manufacturing of all types of stamped and sawn slugs from pure aluminium and aluminium alloys. aluminium Slugs are made in various dimensions and shapes which are then used in manufacturing tubes, cans and technical parts in the automotive, food, cosmetics, pharmaceutical, electrical industry.
