Sustainability

Sustainable technology for molten metal applications

At Precimeter, sustainability is part of how we work, how we design our products and how we support our customers.
We develop sensors, actuators, electromagnetic pumps and control systems for molten metal applications. Our technology is used in foundries, cast houses and light metal production around the world, with a strong focus on aluminium, aluminium alloys, direct chill casting, primary aluminium production, secondary aluminium production and recycling.

For us, sustainability has two sides.
First, we take responsibility for our own environmental impact through structured environmental management, continuous improvement and ISO 14001 certified processes. Second, we help our customers create safer, more stable and more resource efficient casting processes through automation, molten metal level control and flow control.

Our environmental responsibility

Certified environmental management

We are ISO 14001 certified. This certification gives us a structured framework for managing environmental responsibility across our operations. It helps us work systematically with environmental goals, follow up our progress and improve over time.
Our environmental work is connected to how we design, produce, transport and improve our products. It also supports our broader responsibility as a supplier to the global metal casting industry.

Environmental management in daily work

We work continuously to reduce the negative environmental impact from our operations and products. Our environmental policy guides this work and helps us identify where we can improve. This includes:

• Waste reduction
  We work to prevent waste in our own operations and use sorting and recycling routines for the waste that is produced.

• Recycling
  We support recycling internally and see circularity as an important part of the future for aluminium and light metal production.

• Sustainable transportation
  We prioritize more efficient transportation options where possible, including public transport and trains for business travel.

• Logistics optimization
  We review logistics and supply chain activities to reduce unnecessary environmental impact and improve efficiency.

• Sustainable product design
  We work to improve our products with long term use, environmental performance and circularity in mind.

• Employee education
  We educate employees and workers in environmental topics and our environmental management system, so sustainability becomes part of daily decisions. 

Helping foundries produce more sustainably

Automation that improves safety, quality, productivity and sustainability

Foundries and aluminium producers face high demands. Production must be safe, stable, efficient and repeatable. At the same time, customers and markets expect better environmental performance, higher material efficiency and lower waste.

This is where automation makes a difference.

By using sensors, actuators and control systems, molten metal processes can be controlled with higher precision. Operators can monitor the process from a safer position. The casting line becomes more predictable. The result is a process that supports safety, quality, productivity and sustainability at the same time.
Accurate molten metal level control is central to stable casting. When the metal level is measured and controlled automatically, the process becomes easier to repeat. The system can help prevent overfilling, low levels, unstable flow and disturbances that may lead to casting defects.

Automated molten metal level control can support:

• More stable casting starts
  A controlled start helps reduce variation from the beginning of the cast.

• Better repeatability
  Recipes and automated sequences make it easier to repeat successful casting conditions.

• Less waste
  Stable level and flow control can reduce the risk of failed casts, rework and remelting.

• Higher product quality
  A stable process helps reduce inconsistencies and supports predictable end results.

• Improved safety
  Automation can reduce the need for manual interaction close to molten metal.

Automated level control supports the full process, from melting and transfer to filling and casting. Precise and repeatable measurement makes it possible to monitor and control the amount of metal used during the casting process, which can improve productivity and product quality
