Phase 1

Planned production figures.

Furnace

20 tons

Approximately 44,000 lb holding capacity.

Daily melt

40–50 tons/day

Approximately 88,000–110,000 lb/day.

Monthly target

1,000 tons/month

Approximately 2.2 million lb/month.

Annual planning range

12,000–14,000 tons/year

Current one-furnace planning range.

Planned alloy program

356 and 1xxx series.

356 alloy

Initial casting-alloy program

Principal raw-material stream: aluminum wheels.

1xxx series

Initial aluminum program

Raw material: suitable local and production scrap.

The final product mix will depend on customer requirements, raw-material availability, equipment configuration, and production requirements.
