Ductal Benefit
The incorporation of Ductal®'s specific technology to modern moulding manufacturing is a significant process innovation. Before Ductal®, moulds were machined from solid billet aluminum blocks. This fabrication process required between six to nine months, at considerable investment and effort, to create a large scale mould. With the incorporation of highly mouldable nature and ultra high toughness of the Ductal® technology, a similar sized mould can be manufactured in approximately 10 days.
Implementation and Results:
Ductal®‘s technology allows Lafarge's Sublicensees to realize efficiencies through revolutionary manufacturing process innovations. The reduction in fabrication time and effort can increase the potential efficiencies by more than 10 times compared to conventional methods. The impact to Sublicensees is a 10 fold increase in a plant's output, with a relatively simple process adjustment.
