Advancing Metals Technology

Over the last year, Rautomead has been engaged in the formation of a new and scientifically-based metals research and development division within the company.

Rautomead Advancing Metals Technology. The Rautomead Advancing Metals Technology division will focus on design and development of new, innovative, technologies for processing non-ferrous metals.

Using Rautomead’s extensive knowledge and expertise in graphite technology as a basis, and by collaboration with an extensive network of the most relevant laboratories and research staff facilities at several universities in the UK, the resultant new technologies are intended to

provide the capability to manufacture either completely new products or to manufacture existing products by new process routes with significant cost savings.

Rautomead Advancing Metals Technology seeks to develop imaginative, innovative and economic designs of new technology with operating systems that offer application improvements to the end user for processing non-ferrous metals.

Rautomead Advancing Metals Technology will select projects for development from enquiries and suggestions submitted by both existing and prospective clients and customers. The application areas of recycling and renewable energies are considered to be of special interest.

The Advancing Metals Technology will encourage development of new technologies which

  • Shorten the manufacturing process route
  • Are Economic on small to medium scale l Are Involved with Recycling of materials
  • Offer Lower operating cost
  • Offer Higher product quality
  • Are Clean, safe and environmentally friendly

Examples of two completely separate and different projects currently in progress are:

  • Creation and development of a new processing technology for the manufacture of small diameter aluminium alloy rod
  • Development of Resistance Furnace technology for the processing of metal oxides

Striving to innovate efficiency along with a strong desire to introduce new technology
