We are pleased to announce the successful commissioning and start-up of an aluminum melt degassing system supplied by AdTech Metallurgical Materials Co., Ltd. at the production facility of Gansu Guangyin Aluminum Co., Ltd.
Following on-site installation, commissioning, and trial operation, the tilting-type degassing equipment was successfully put into production. The equipment completed its initial trial run with stable operating parameters and met the performance requirements specified in the project contract.
On-Site Commissioning and Process Support
For this project, AdTech’s technical team traveled to the customer’s production site to support the installation and commissioning of the degassing equipment.
Working closely with the customer’s production and equipment teams, our engineers completed a series of commissioning activities, including:
- Equipment positioning and installation
- Pipeline and utility connections
- Operating parameter configuration
- Equipment interlocking and functional testing
- Trial operation and process verification
- Operator training
- Equipment operation and maintenance training
- On-site process adaptation
One of the key aspects of the project was adapting the equipment to the customer’s actual production conditions. Our technical team worked directly with the customer throughout the commissioning process to identify and resolve site-specific issues and ensure that the system was ready for production as scheduled.

Successful Trial Run and Stable Operation
After commissioning was completed, the tilting degassing equipment entered trial production successfully.
During the initial operating period, the equipment demonstrated stable operating performance, with its key operating parameters meeting the requirements defined in the project design.
The successful trial run confirms that the degassing system can be integrated into the customer’s existing aluminum melt treatment process and operate reliably under actual production conditions.
The project also included practical training for the customer’s operators, covering equipment operation, routine maintenance, and basic operating procedures. This helps the production team operate the system correctly and maintain consistent performance during daily production.
How Does Aluminum Melt Degassing Improve Casting Quality?
Gas control is an important part of aluminum melt treatment. Dissolved hydrogen in molten aluminum can become trapped during solidification and contribute to hydrogen porosity in cast products.
By applying an appropriate degassing process before casting, dissolved hydrogen can be reduced, helping improve melt cleanliness and reduce the risk of gas-related casting defects.
The successful application of the AdTech degassing equipment at the Guangyin Aluminum production site demonstrates the practical role of équipement de dégazage de l'aluminium fondu in improving melt treatment and supporting more consistent casting quality.
Depending on the alloy, production process, and required metal quality, degassing can be combined with other melt treatment technologies, such as molten aluminum filtration and ceramic foam filtration, to control both dissolved gas and non-metallic inclusions.
Customer Benefits
Following the successful commissioning of the system, the project provides several benefits for the customer’s production process:
Reduced gas-related casting defects
Effective molten aluminum degassing helps reduce dissolved hydrogen in the melt, lowering the risk of hydrogen-related porosity during solidification.
More consistent product quality
Stable melt treatment conditions contribute to more consistent aluminum melt quality and casting performance.
Reduced scrap and production losses
Better control of melt quality can help reduce quality-related scrap and associated production losses.
Improved process stability
Reliable degassing equipment provides a controlled treatment step that can be incorporated into the customer’s regular aluminum casting process.
Operator capability
On-site training enables the customer’s production personnel to operate and maintain the equipment according to the required procedures.
A Successful Project Built on Technical Cooperation
The successful commissioning of the tilting degassing equipment at Gansu Guangyin Aluminum represents another practical application of AdTech’s aluminum melt treatment technology.
Rather than simply supplying equipment, AdTech provides technical support throughout the project, from equipment selection and system configuration to on-site commissioning, operator training, and subsequent technical service.
For aluminum producers, the performance of a degassing system depends not only on the equipment itself, but also on factors such as melt temperature, alloy composition, treatment time, gas flow, rotor configuration, and actual production conditions.
This is why understanding the customer’s casting process and production requirements is an important part of our project approach.
Looking Ahead
AdTech will continue to focus on aluminum melt treatment and degassing technology, improving equipment design and process performance while providing technical support throughout the service life of our systems.
With practical project experience and a focus on the actual requirements of aluminum producers, we aim to help more customers improve melt quality, stabilize production, and reduce quality-related losses.
We look forward to supporting more aluminum casting operations with reliable aluminum degassing equipment and melt purification solutions.
