Slugs and Discs
Narrow strip
In our plant we produce two types of products:
  • Slugs are used in pharmacy, food-processing and cosmetics industries;
  • Discs are used as a bottoms for stainless steel holloware
Solid slugs and centre-hole slugs are used for the production of aluminium packaging tubes with or without membrane and for aerosol cans. Slugs are round, with or without a hole, surface treatment is tumbled or sandblasted, they can be flat or domed. Once punched, the slugs must go trough an annealing process.

Discs have diameters from 80 mm to 225 mm and thickness from 2 mm to 10 mm.
 
We produce our slugs and discs from continuously cast and rolled narrow strip, all punching tools are produced on site.

The basic properties of slugs and discs produced according to EN 570 standard are:

  Slugs Discs
Diameter 13-100mm 80-225mm
Thickness 2-10mm 2-10mm
Alloys 99,7% (1070)
99,5% (1050)
AlMn0,3 (3102)
AlMn0,6 (3207)
99,5% (1050)

 
The molten aluminium goes trough an extensive cleaning and filtering process prior to being cast, then is fed into a continuously rotating casting wheel with a revolving steel band cover. The cast aluminium is rolled to the desired finished gauge using precision hot and cold rolling mills. Our narrow strip is 160 to 230 mm in width.
