Khakas Aluminium Smelter

The Khakas smelter was commissioned in 2006 and only took two years to build, which is a record-breaking time in the aluminium industry. The smelter is one of the most technologically advanced in the world.

Launched in 2006 and reached full capacity in 2007

The use of RUSAL’s proprietary smelting technology RA-300 helped to cut the capital costs of aluminium production. The most up-to-date and technologically advanced smelter in Russia

Development
In 2017 a new continuous horizontal casting complex Properzi was launched. The equipment with the capacity of 120 thousand tons of metal per year produces alloys in the form of ten kilograms of bars. They are compact, easy to transport and optimal for the consumer. This type of product has never been produced at RUSAL before. Its main customer is the automotive industry, including the production of cast wheel rims. The launch of the equipment made it possible to increase production of alloys at KhAZ from 82 thousand to 202 thousand tonnes per year.
