As part of Norican Group, we have set clear emissions reduction and net zero targets in line with what climate scientists agree is necessary for our planet. By signing up to the Science-Based Targets initiative (SBTi) we have publicly committed to these goals, and to being held accountable for our progress against them. 

We are making changes (large and small) at all levels, from looking at how we adapt technologies and optimize business processes, to appointing sustainability ambassadors and encouraging colleagues to follow simple energy/resource saving tips around the office.

Your die casting machines deserve the highest quality metal - melted and delivered to them using the least amount of energy. Our furnaces do that. As well as offering one of the most energy efficient melting furnaces on the planet, consuming as little as 489 kWh/t, all our melting and dosing furnaces deliver a metal yield of virtually 100%. Meaning you waste less raw material. 

Our R&D team never stops pushing for better. They are relentlessly focused on finding ways to enhance performance, including developing new technologies and helping customers explore options such as adapting furnaces to biomass or electricity derived from green gases.

We make it easy for foundries to access support from expert service and maintenance engineers, and to get original spare parts fast, both of which are vital for keeping furnaces at maximum energy efficiency. And to optimize their life cycle.  

Detailed inspections by, and consultations with, our technicians help customers identify beneficial equipment retrofits and upgrades – often achieving energy savings of up to 25%. Tailored training packages for furnace operators and maintenance teams also help customers optimize the efficiency of their melting and dosing processes. Saving time, energy, and resources.

Our range of digital solutions empower you to monitor energy use and furnace performance, in real time and overtime. And to do something about it. For example, by ensuring furnace operating modes automatically adjust to partial loads to save energy (as much as 20%).    

With these tools, foundries can see if, where, and when they need to act to ensure optimal energy and production efficiency. Whether it’s changed to charging protocols, cleaning, or maintenance delivery. It all contributes to less waste and smaller carbon footprints.
