8 PROJECT DETAILS Fully automatic internal transport. Integration of interim storage areas, hot- and cold-rolling mills, and heat treatment. 1 An automatic crane transports the aluminium ingots at temperatures of up to 500 °C along a travel distance of 85 m INTEGRATED INTRALOGISTICS FROM THE SMELTER TO THE FINAL ALUMINIUM PRODUCT HIGHLIGHTS Compact automatic crane for ingot transport; no need for further tilting stations and floor conveyor technology. A shorter hot-rolling mill roller conveyor, since one central tilting station effectively replaces 6 individual tilting stations. Rigid load routing and handling of ingots heated to temperatures of 500 °C. High-bay warehouses with spool storage and direct feeding to the cold- roll by coil manipulator without interim buffer. 1
