Advanced boiler control and heat treatment technology
Nexto System programmable controllers provide precise control over furnaces and boilers in industrial plants. Altus PLCs expertly manage temperature and pressure during metal smelting and treatment, ensuring optimal conditions at every stage to maximize energy efficiency while maintaining product quality.
Accurate control of these variables is also critical during heat treatment, a process that modifies the mechanical properties of metals, such as hardness and ductility. With automation, you gain precise control over temperatures, timing, and cooling rates, ensuring consistent, high-quality results.
Precision rolling and waste management
Nexto PLCs also excel in the rolling process, fine-tuning material thickness and shape with exceptional precision. By controlling roller speed and pressure, our solutions deliver consistent, high-quality outputs.
In the metals industry, emissions and waste management are key challenges, especially with stringent environmental regulations. Nexto controllers help monitor and optimize filtration and treatment systems, improving efficiency in pollutant capture and material recycling.
Reliable, high-availability solutions for mining
Even in the toughest environments, Altus products deliver the reliability and high performance required for efficient mineral extraction processes.
With over four decades of experience, our engineering team is ready to modernize a wide range of operations found in mining facilities.
Our solutions are applied to processes like crushing, conveyor systems, screening, storage, recovery, pressing, beneficiation, separation, washing, and iron ore loading, as well as broader infrastructure management.
