Vertical casting plant of Hertwich sets milestone in modernization at AWW in Germany
Wutöschingen, Deutschland, Dezember 02, 2023
A new vertical casting plant from Hertwich Engineering in Austria forms the heart of the completely modernized billet caster of Aluminium-Werke Wutöschingen (AWW) in Germany. The vertical casting plant will enable AWW to produce press billets of highest quality and thanks to a special feature, even significantly longer than those manufactured so far. Challenge was the height of the existing crane as it is not sufficient to lift the longer bolts completely out of the casting pit in one go.
