Magaldi’s Casting Cooling technology for aluminium castings

Nemak, the Mexican leading provider of light-weighting solutions for the global automotive industry, was looking for a reliable technology able to cool down the aluminium cylinder heads produced in its plant in Monterrey.
After theoretical studies and experimental tests on real representative aluminium castings, conducted in close teamwork with the client, Magaldi was able to properly design an air-cooling system optimized for aluminium castings.
Persuaded by the excellent results, Nemak awarded Magaldi with the supply of two Magaldi Casting Coolers (MCC®).
Installed downstream different production lines, the MCC® are able to cool down the aluminium cylinder heads from 320°C to lower than 80°C. In fact, the belt speed and the air capacity are studied to properly cool castings down at the required temperature, avoiding any delay on the up-streaming carousel.

Magaldi guaranteed the belt as well as the cooling performances for 5 years.

Poland’s Waste-to-Energy Expansion Makes Incinerator Bottom Ash a Strategic Resource

19 February 2026

As Poland rapidly scales its thermal treatment capacity toward the 4.2 Mt/year target, a crucial question remains: are you still paying to bury your profits? With the KPGO 2028 targets in sight, Incinerator Bottom Ash (IBA) is no longer a waste to be landfilled but a massive stream of recoverable metals and minerals. Traditional wet systems are becoming a financial drag, degrading metal quality and inflating disposal costs. Are you leaving value on the table for someone else to monetize? Discover how the shift toward dry management solutions, like MADAM (Magaldi Dry Ash Management), is redefining the economics of Polish WtE projects, turning disposal liabilities into high-purity secondary raw materials and boosting plant EBITDA.
