Dross Press Machine

ALTEK invented the dross press in the early 1990s. Following the acquisition of the TARDIS dross press business in 2009, the two technologies were combined to produce the TARDIS Generation II Dross Press range we see today.

Worldwide dross press references for ALTEK now total over 550, it has been proven to be the best technology for recovering aluminum units from dross and is the most widely used dross processing technology in the Aluminum Industry.

There are a number of different TARDIS Gen II models with over 40 pan set designs to suit almost any configuration of furnace size, sill height, dross type and dross production. This includes for black dross as well as white dross.
