aluNID

aluNID® has come to an agreement with UC3M Formula Student team (Carlos III Madrid) to become one of its sponsors for Formula Student Europe 2017.

Formula student® is a worldwide competition born in the USA by Society of Automotive Engineers (SAE) there, each team design and manufacture a car that must be exposed to a high technical expert’s jury.

The main reason of this competition is to promote investigation through enginery students, to show off their creativity and knowledge, designing a trustful and competitive prototype. Each year many universities decide to participate in Formula Student, defending their design and going into competition with other teams in well-known circuits such as Silverstone (UK), Hockenheim (Germany) and Montmeló (Spain).

UC3M Formula team will be this year in two competitions: Formula Student Spain, in Barcelona-Catalunya Circuit y Formula Student Germany, celebrated Hockenheimring circuit. The last one has become a truly exhibition of engineering knowledge and a reference in the university world in a high level.

aluNID® has design an expanded honeycomb core that will be used aa impact attenuator and that will be placed in the front of the vehicle.

aluNID ® has reached an agreement with the Arus Team at the University of Seville to be one of its main sponsors for Formula Student Europe 2017.

aluNID ® has designed an expanded honeycomb core material that will act as impact attenuator located in the front of the vehicle. The piece has already undergone numerous, rigorous tests including both dynamic and static tests that test the reliability of aluNID ®.

The team has already competed in Formula Student Austria and Formula Student Germany – the two most prestigious competitions in Europe which are the most demanding ones for participant teams. Those done in Austria are especially demanding and we have the honour to communicate that the Arus Team is the only Spanish combustion team that will participate in this prestigious event. With regard to the German test, the Arus team was the sixth fastest team in the world in a test in which more than 200 universities.

At the beginning of November was held Advanced Engineering 2016, the most important Expo of composite sector in United Kingdom that took place in Birmingham.

aluNID ® was there in the Expo with a huge success between the visitors, thanks to its incredible benefits and the state-of-the-art technology. For this occasion, technical and commercial team attended the Expo to give assistance to all the professionals that visited the stand. Alongside aluNID ® team there were inviting expositors with a wide range of finishes that make aluNID ® a unique material with unlimited applications for multiple sectors.

The aluNID ® team gives great thanks to all the visitors for the big interest showed, especially to all its customers and partners.

aluNID ® has acquired a new vacuum cleaner of aluminium chips, this machine has been installed in the honeycomb cutting process. An instrumental that increases the productivity of the plant and the quality of the product in slice shape.

Thanks to this new machine, aluNID ® will get chip of aluminum by dry procedure with the remains generated by the production. These aluminium chips are used in different applications as fireworks, paints metal, pigments and materials of loads for materials compounds.

aluNID ® performs regularly investments in improvements and machinery as the new vacuum cleaner, to continue at the forefront of the sector and to offer new services to its customers.

ALUCOAT presents the new aluNID ® Drilled, a core of aluminum honeycomb perforated in the cell walls of the core at regular intervals.

These new holes allow air to flow through the walls of the core to heat or cool a panel homogeneous and uniformly across the surface, necessary in some manufacturing processes and industrial uses.

Thanks to this innovation in the walls of the core, aluNID ® Drilled is a honeycomb stronger, more stable, lighter and better air circulation aluminum, making it the ideal core for composite panels sandwich that require maximum rigidity with minimum core thickness.

aluNID ®, the honeycomb of high quality aluminum, has successfully renovated certificates ISO 9001: 2015 and ISO 14001: 2015.

These standards, updated in September 2015 with significant changes from previous editions, certify that aluNID ® meets all the requirements for quality management and environmental, adopting a high-level structure in their production processes.

Moreover, aluNID ® has also met the requirements to receive first ISO certification 50001: 2011 on the Energy Management System. This standard certificates the correct use of energy in industrial facilities and production process.

Although for aluNID ® was not required to obtain the ISO 50001: 2011 and had three years to adapt to the requirements of the new ISO 9001 and 14001, aluNID ® has decided to do so as soon as possible to evidence its high commitment to quality, environment and the satisfaction of their customers.
