Boulder Steel and Aluminium

Aluminium confidently maintains a top spot as one of man’s most useful materials. In Australia, the element comes with a vast array of potentials. From its use in making kitchen utensils to its substantial presence in aeroplane parts, there’s arguably a piece of aluminium everywhere around you.

We recognise this value at Boulder Steel Mining Australia. That’s why we go the extra mile to mine and process the best aluminium for personal and industrial uses in Australia. We hold recognition for the quality of our processing, choice equipment, and a variety of possible application for our end-products.

We depend on multiple extraction methods at Boulder Steel Mining. We get some of the finest and economical aluminium properties from clay residue. However, the majority of our extraction comes from mining bauxite. We subject our extracts to certified quality assurance procedures. Besides, our methods are famous for their environmental-friendliness and risk-free characteristics.

Our Processes

Since its inception, Boulder Steel Mining holds trust for the high quality of its processing techniques. The following present an insight into the procedures of Aluminium extraction and processing at Boulder Steel Mining.

Aluminium Ore Mining: At Boulder Steel Mining, we mine and extraction aluminium residue across several Australian locations. Our primary extraction method is the open-cut mining procedure. Through this process, we overturn surface soil in mines to extract bauxite ore.  Extracted bauxite further undergoes crushing and washing to take out clay and waste components before refining.

As is standard practice at our mines, we ensure mine rehabilitation and topsoil restoration after complete extraction processes. This way, we contribute to ecosystem balance and sustainable use of earth’s resources.

Refining: Mined aluminium further goes through the refining process. Our engineers at Boulder Steel Mining favour the Bayer refining process. This four-stage, multilayer refining method principally heats and mixes extracted bauxite.

Furthermore, we create aluminium by quality smelting procedures. After this stage, aluminium can now undergo further processing in application industries to create useful items and appliances.

Recycling: Our final process service is refining. As long-lasting as aluminium is, its end products do not share such lifespan. So, they necessarily require recycling for the environment’s good and cost-effective production of future products. We remelt and reprocess scrap aluminium to form new materials. Surprisingly, aluminium is one of the most recycled metals. It also consumes less energy compared to other metals when recycled.

Application

The aluminium substances we process at Boulder Steel Mining have a wide range of application across industries. Nevertheless, some of the most common application of the material stems from the following sectors:

• Transport
• Home Appliances
• Electronics
• Building and Construction
• Packaging
