URALS FOIL
 Urals Foil Mill was
established in 2003 on the site of the Mikhailovsk non-ferrous metal working
plant, located in Mikhailovsk, 130 kilometres south-west of Ekaterinburg.
Staffed with 720 people, the mill produces various types of aluminium foil and
tape. In 2007, its output was 16,060 tonnes.

Mikhailovsk is a town in the Sverdlovsk
region of Russia. It has a population of 10,950 and is just 10 kilometres from
the Mikhailovskiy Zavod railway station.
The production facilities
include a foil mill, Litmet Plant (production of pig iron and steel cast
products), the Ural Elastomeric Sealants Plant and the Mikhailovsk Casting
& Rolling Mill.
The Sverdlovsk region has a
population of 4,582,400 people, and occupies an area of 194,800 square
kilometres. It lies on the eastern slopes of the Middle and North Ural and
borders part of the West-Siberian Plain. The administrative centre is

Technology
Urals Foil covers the complete technology cycle of foil manufacturing, from the
melting of aluminium and the casting of aluminium tape through to the final
production and cutting of alufoil.
A QUARTO 1800 cold foil rolling mill was launched at the facility in 2001.
A new cutting line was commissioned at Urals Foil in 2004. It was produced by
the German company Kampf and is equipped with an ultrasonic exchanger, which
allows foil bundles to be enlarged. The launch of the new line improved the
quality of the finished products, which includes 9-micron foil.
2007 saw the completion of the 'Sustaining the production process' investment
project at Urals Foil. The QUARTO 1800 mill was reconstructed as part of this
programme and so were the cast area and the hydraulic systems of the Achenbach
mills.
Products
Foil: 0.007 – 0.2 mm thick, 20 – 1,500 mm wide.
Tape: 0.21 – 0.40 mm thick, 40 – 1,500 mm wide.
Foil and tape are produced in line with Russian standards GOST 745-2003, GOST
618-73, GOST 25905 – 83, GOST 13726 – 97, and are also in compliance with
European and American standards and individual specifications of clients, out
of aluminium of Ŕ5, Ŕ0, ŔD1 grades and aluminium alloys AMTs(3003), 1050, 1100,
8079, 8011, AMG - 2.
Certificates
Product quality complies with the requirements of international standards.
Quality control is performed throughout the whole life cycle of the product.
Each type of product has gone through a certification process and has obtained
certificates of compliance along with the necessary hygiene certificates.
In December 2007, compliance of with the Quality Management System ISO
9001:2000 international standards was confirmed as a result of an audit carried
out by TUV NORD. The validity period of the certificate was also increased.
Development
In 2008, the facility started implementing the 'Boosting production capacities’
investment project, which will include:
-
the construction of a melting furnace;
-
the recovery of direct rolling mill ABP
1600;
-
the purchase of the latest foil cutting
machine for thicknesses in the 0.005-0.05 mm range;
-
the purchase of 2 foil annealing furnaces
Completion of this project will boost output by 50%.
