ALIT Academy Magazine n. 3 has been released

The third issue of ALIT Academy Magazine features the products and technologies that will be presented at Aluminium 2022.

Despite this very difficult period due to raw material costs, war in Ukraine and political instability in several countries, the industrial market is still responding very well so far. Generally, pandemic restrictions seem to show a downward trend from last year, letting us hope they will not affect the market for next fall/winter. Next fall, we will be also actors at the ALUMINIUM trade fair, which will be held from 27 to 29 September 2022 in Düsseldorf, Germany.

After several years of forced stop, we can finally come back to be exhibitors at this important fair, a long-awaited event and mostly, a milestone for the entire chain of the aluminium market. For this reason, this issue of ALIT Magazine wishes to be mainly addressed to ALUMINIUM fair.

The original installation for chemical stripping of hooks and frames, FASTRIP ISP, born in 2014, has been totally renewed and enriched with several features adopted during these years of developments and experience in the market. We were pioneers in this project, always focused to improve the process, both from a mechanical and chemical point of view and at the same time, improving the filtration system. Today, the FASTRIP ISP stripping tank has reached a high degree of efficiency, it is easier to use and offers high standards of results also thanks to development of new paint strippers such as METALSTRIP 1465.

We have recently developed an additive product to be used along with caustic soda solutions for extrusion dies cleaning. The product differs from other products on the market thanks to its several features: it has been developed to keep the process management as simple as possible; it allows to keep the bath temperatures under control, thus extending the lifetime of the baths by monitoring the dissolution of the aluminium. It is therefore a cost-saving product that enhances the caustic bath lifetime.

In this issue we will show you how paint stripping can help companies to recover paint-defective items on high quality finished products, such as aluminium doors. A real support to companies, especially during periods of significant loads of work.

Finally, ALUMINIUM will be the perfect opportunity to introduce an important ALIT development: Drizzling!

Drizzling is our new application process for chrome-free passivation metal products. It is a spray process that allows solutions to be applied through the atomisation of a fine mist capable of wrapping the item, especially developed for 7-metres vertical lines for aluminium profiles. This system has been developed to reduce water consumption after the passivation stage and, most of all, allows to apply a pollutant-free passivating solution to the manufactured items. This ensures an additional assurance for the customer, who can count on a chrome-free product’s performance always being at its best.

In conclusion, we are once again ready to show you several innovations, as well as applications of our processes and products.

We look forward to seeing you in Düsseldorf, if only to offer you a good glass of wine!

ALIT Technologies looks forward to meet you at Aluminium 2022!

ALIT Technologies is pleased to announce that it will be among the exhibitors of Aluminium, which is set to take place from 27 to 29 September in Düsseldorf, Germany.

ALIT Technologies will be among the protagonists of Aluminium, the leading trade show for the aluminium industry and its main fields of application, including automotive, mechanical engineering, building and construction, aerospace, electronics, packaging and transportation.

From 27 to 29 September the ALIT team looks forward to meet you at the Messe Düsseldorf exhibition centre, booth 7AC05, to introduce you to the chemical paint stripping products and technologies (and much more!) that make the ALIT brand known and appreciated all over the world.

In particular, visitors will be able to learn about the new developments that have made the FASTRIP ISP chemical paint stripping system for hooks and frames even more efficient process-wise, as well as the new additive – developed specifically for the aluminium extrusion industry – to be used along with caustic soda solutions for die cleaning. The product differentiates itself from other solutions on the market for its ability to keep the process management very simple and maintain the bath temperatures under control, thus extending the lifetime of the baths and lowering operating costs.

Aluminium will also be the perfect opportunity to present Drizzling, a new chrome free passivation process for metal products. With Drizzling, it is possible to apply the solutions through the atomisation of a fine mist capable of completely enveloping the item, even in 7-metres vertical lines for aluminium profiles. This system makes it possible to considerably reduce water consumption after the passivation phase and, above all, to apply a passivating solution to the pieces that is always fresh and free of pollutants: a further reassurance to the customer, who can count on the non-chromic product’s performance always being at its best.

To officially celebrate the return of this important trade fair and all the innovations that we will showcase, we invite you to join the ALIT team for a Happy Hour with Durello and Grana Padano on September 27, 5 pm.

ALIT Technologies will be closed from August 8 to August 19

ALIT’s offices will be closed from August 8 to August 19. Regular business activities will resume on Monday, August 22.

We would like to take this opportunity to wish you all happy holidays!

Fluoride Removal with FLUORIDITE

FLUORIDITE is the new system developed by ALIT Technologies to reduce the concentration of fluorides in wastewater below the legal threshold.

Many production fields have the technical need to use particular chemical formulations with high concentrations of specific elements. For some specialised sectors in the surface treatment of steel, glass, and aluminium, for example, the use of products with high fluoride concentrations is unavoidable. However, there exist legal limits for the concentration of fluorides in surface and sewage water.

In the specific sector of aluminium coating, the continuous demand for higher productivity and pre-treatment quality has led to an increase in the use of chemicals, also resulting in critical issue in terms of waste water management.

A standard purification cycle, based mainly on an acidification phase (when necessary) followed by a neutralisation phase with lime, is very often not sufficient to achieve such low concentrations of fluorides, even with considerable dwell times in the line. In order to provide a truly effective solution to this problem without necessarily having to intervene at the plant engineering level, ALIT has developed FLUORIDITE, a liquid product that can be used directly on existing waste water treatment systems. FLUORIDITE allows to reduce the concentration of fluorides in wastewater below the legal limits.

In the article published on ipcm® International Paint&Coating Magazine (May/June 2022) n. 75, we deepen the technical characteristics of FLUORIDITE and present two case studies. Read the full article:

ALIT Academy Magazine n. 2 has been released

March 21, 2022. The second issue of ALIT Academy Magazine presents the products and technologies that will be presented at PaintExpo 2022.

The time in which we are living is characterized by a fast-moving industrial market. The cost of raw materials is constantly increasing, and their availability is limited. And yet, companies do not brake: they accept, even if with some complaints, the increases, but at the same time, they start looking for alternative solutions in order to reduce costs.

For months we have been living this situation and for as many months, ALIT has been trying to adapt its procedures to keep up with the market, listening to the requests of its customers and partners and then offering concrete solutions.

This issue of ALIT Academy Magazine will be particularly rich, because we will present what we have recently developed to optimize the filtration of paint stripping baths and thus allow tangible economic savings to companies that use our products.

We will also be presenting FLUORIDITE, a new chemical product developed entirely by our laboratory team, which is essential for all companies operating in the aluminium coating sector that are experiencing problems with the fluorides limit in wastewaters.

Finally, we will be presenting a new entry to the ALIT range, ready to change the way in which we strip and recover items with coating defects: FASTRIP S, a spray machine capable of working at high temperatures (130°C) quickly and of adapting to the growth of the company thanks to its modular concept.

All these innovations fully demonstrate our expertise in the sector and, above all, enable us to welcome you to the PaintExpo 2022 trade fair in Karlsruhe (Germany) in April. It will be an opportunity to see many of you again, meet new customers and provide you with all the information you need.

The winning combination of Fastrip S and Metalstrip

Find out the results that a paint stripping contractor has achieved thanks to the Fastrip S plant and the products of the Metalstrip range developed by ALIT Technologies.

When it comes to paint stripping, each company relies on a different technology according to the specific needs of the parts it treats. In the case of paint stripping contractors, however, it is important to implement solutions that allow processing components of all types and in all sizes. The chemical paint stripping industry typically uses the immersion technique, because it enables the whole workpiece to be covered and therefore provides optimum results.

In order to further optimise its services, Sverniciatura Veneta S.r.l. took an interest in high-temperature chemical paint stripping through spray systems. This is why it decided to install a Fastrip S machine, developed in recent years by ALIT Technologies.

After initial reluctance to embrace such a major technological change, the company worked with ALIT’s engineers to customise a machine that would meet its needs and be able to reach the temperature required by the company (110 °C) in order to achieve high quality results through a faster spray paint stripping process. The company is now capable of providing its customers with uniformly and optimally paint stripped products, while having improved the environmental impact of its processes and reduced resource consumption.
