These units are equipped with the efficient, patented Vortex 2.0 system.
Vortex 2.0 furnaces are specifically designed for annealing aluminum coils in multi-zone chambers, each of which has a precise temperature control system. The Vortex system ensures excellent temperature uniformity (+/- 3°C) and prevents local overheating of the coil surface, improving final product quality. The large size of the coils (max. coil outside diameter: 2,600 mm; maximum coil width: 2,300 mm; maximum total gross load (coil + spool): 93.6 tonnes) makes this a unique design, but one that is expected to become increasingly popular in the future.
Thanks to their unique design and advanced control systems, Vortex 2.0 furnaces significantly reduce the total process time compared to traditional solutions on the market, increasing productivity and energy efficiency.
JUPALCO has placed another order with SECO/WARWICK, having previously ordered three Vortex 2.0 furnaces in 2023. This latest order further cements the customer’s trust in SECO/WARWICK technology.
“Repeat orders are the best proof of recognition for the technology. Vortex 2.0 not only guarantees the highest quality aluminum processing but also provides time and energy savings – key factors in today’s metallurgical industry. In the latest, patented 2.0 version, Vortex systems, thanks to a system of appropriately directed nozzles, ensure higher production volumes with lower energy consumption,”
explains Piotr Skarbiński, Vice-President of the CAB and Aluminum Products Segment at the SECO/WARWICK Group.
SECO/WARWICK Group conquers the Indian market
The Indian market for flat-rolled aluminium products is growing dynamically, with its value expected to increase from USD 4.5 billion in 2025 to USD 12 billion in 2035. An increasing number of manufacturers, including JUPALCO, are investing in new rolling mills, which creates significant growth potential for SECO/WARWICK technology in India and global markets.
“SECO/WARWICK Group consistently implements its strategy of strengthening its presence in the Indian market, which is reflected in numerous contracts. We are particularly pleased with contracts from partners who return and choose SECO/WARWICK solutions again,”
said Arvind Agarwal, Managing Director of SECO/WARWICK India.
JUPALCO is an aluminum factory and part of the Jupiter Group. The JUPALCO rolling mill in India was established two years ago. The first machines for the mill’s machinery park were also supplied by SECO/WARWICK.
“Two years ago, we chose three Vortex 2.0 systems, which at the time fully met our needs for aluminum heat treatment at JUPALCO. Today, we are ordering another two systems. This is the result of our development and increased production volume. The Vortex 2.0 system combines ecology with economy. The efficient nozzle system makes production more efficient,”
commented Sandeep Bajaj, CMD Jupiter Aluminum Industries, JUPALCO.
