been established in order to handle following
technical field services:
1. Installation, start up and commissioning,
2. Dismantling, modification, revamping of existing
plants,
3. New
automation design, modifications and
manufacturing including hardware and
software studies,
4. Asistance for development of production
processes,
5. R&D
project configuration to develop and introduce
new products,
6. Technology transfer,
7. Training at site,
8. Market research,
9.Valuation and due diligence studies.
August 2005 - Novaltek Engineering has chosen Achenbach Gmbh.
of Germany as state of the art aluminum mill
supplier for Teknik’s Corlu plant. Rolling mill
is 2500 mm wide and has about 120,000 Tons of
annual production with 0.30 x 1650 mm average
finish coils. With its automation system on
gauge, flatness, drive, handling systems and
unique 2500 mm incoming material width, this
mill will be the biggest and most modern mill in
Turkey and one of the few in Europe.
August 2005 - Civil works for earth preparation and
foundation of Corlu Aluminum Plant has been
started at site. Upper level building from the
floor will be steel structure and lower basins
and all floors will be mostly reinforced
concrete. During the design study of plant
building and infra structure very special
measures have been taken for earthquake
resistance of entire plant.

August 2005
July 2005 - An intense training period involving
continuous operation procedures has been started
for Teknik’s cast house operators at Avcilar
Plant.

June 2005 - Novaltek Engineering has assigned Fata-Hunter
of Fin Meccanica Group as caster contractor for
Teknik’s Corlu Aluminum Plant and parties have
signed contract recently. Two casters, one Super
Plus Caster 2500 mm wide and one Speed Caster
2500 mm wide will be in operation in early 2007.

June 2005 - Novaltek Engineering has received two new
orders from Teknik Aluminum A.S. First order is
for the modification of existing Avcılar
Aluminum Plant to increase capacity up to 25 %
reaching 25,000 tons of annual production within
six months. Second order is to develop
production process for all alloy qualities and
introduce new products. Implementation of these
projects has been started with two continuous
caster modifications and casting process
parameters optimization. Nowadays, after three
months of implementation, for 1xxx series alloys
1400 kg/h.m. and 3xxx, 5xxx alloys 1200 kg /h.m.
productivity figures have been already achieved
in cast-house. These figures reflect about % 20
increase for soft alloys and % 30 increase for
harder alloys. Second leg of implementation
involving coil size and reduction rate increase
will be in rolling shop. The final leg will be executed for cut to
length, slitting and tension leveling lines to
achieve better yield, strip flatness and surface
quality.

April 2005 - Another contract has been signed between
Teknik Aluminum and Novelis for one modified 3CM
Jumbo Caster 2150 mm wide which has got similar
robustness of Fata-Hunter’s Speed Casters. This
caster will be specifically run for automotive
and other transportation sector hard alloys
production and for part time campaign based R&D
operations. Caster will be ready for casting in
May 2006.

April 2005 - Novaltek Engineering in cooperation with
Seltek has recently introduced its first Gamma
Ray based QCS equipment for paper industry.
Serving to Cerkeskoy facility of Ucal Kagit this
device has got two sensors: one for weight, the
other for humidity of up to 3000 mm wide tissue
paper line that can run 700 m/min. With its
outstanding scanning speed up to 600 mm/s and
positional accuracy of scanning receivers and
transmitters within the super tight tolerances
of 50 cubic micrometer in space, this
equipment has been very welcomed by the wide
web manufacturers of paper, plastic and metals.

February 2005 - Novaltek Engineering has designed and
manufactured a rotary type fully automatic
plastic cap manufacturing machine (Dip Vinyl
Molding Machine ) comprising, 
v Three arms rotary tool carriage,
v Tool
heating oven,
v Plastic
coating station,
v Curing
oven,
v Cooling
Section,
v Discharging
Section,
v Tool
cleaning and oiling section.
October 2004 – Teknik Alüminyum, one of the leaders in aluminum
production in Turkey, has assigned Novaltek
Engineering to manage its investment and to help
build its new aluminum production facilities in
Çorlu, Turkey. Novaltek will also lead
technology design for the new factory which will
have an annual capacity of 60 thousand tons. The
partnership is likely to last for three years.
Project planning is
already underway and the new factory is expected
to be operational in 2007.
August 2004 – Novaltek Engineering has moved to its new
office in Maltepe/Istanbul. |
