Primary Aluminium from Volta Aluminium Limited Company (VALCO)

VALCO’s primary aluminium is a key intermediate material used in the production of a wide range of aluminium-based products. It is manufactured through the Hall–Héroult electrolytic reduction process, in which alumina (aluminium oxide) is dissolved in molten cryolite and reduced to molten aluminium metal within large electrolytic cells powered by electricity. The molten aluminium is periodically tapped and cast into ingots, ingots, sows, and rods, which are then supplied for further processing in downstream industries.

VALCO’s integrated operations encompass raw material handling, anode production, reduction (smelting), casting, and utility systems, ensuring continuous, efficient, and high-quality primary aluminium production. The product is primarily intended for business-to-business (B2B) applications, serving as feedstock for remelting and fabrication processes that produce automotive components, building materials, electrical conductors, packaging products, and machinery parts.
