Produits carbonés (Carbone, Graphite, Brasque)

Traitement et valorisation de divers produits carbonés issus de l'industrie des métaux primaires. Les services incluent la coupe à sec, le broyage, le tamisage et la manutention de carbone, graphite et brasque.

IMES and STACA specialize in the processing and valorization of various carbonaceous products, including carbon, graphite, and spent potlining (brasque), which are typical by-products of the primary metals industry, particularly aluminum smelters. Our expertise covers a full range of operations to transform these materials. This includes specialized dry cutting services, which preserve the integrity of the materials by avoiding any contact with moisture, a critical feature for certain industrial applications. We also perform crushing and sieving to calibrate the particle size of spent potlining and other carbon derivatives, preparing them for reuse or new valorization. In addition to processing, we provide handling, secure storage, and bagging for these products. Our goal is to transform these industrial rejects into useful resources by offering customized solutions that meet the technical and environmental requirements of our partners.
Spent potlining (brasque) is a by-product of the aluminum industry. At STACA, we process it through crushing and sieving methods for its valorization.
Our cutting service for graphite, carbon, and aluminum is a dry cutting process. This means the material never comes into contact with moisture, which can be a crucial requirement for industries like aluminum smelters.

Broyage et Tamisage

Service de broyage et tamisage pour calibrer des sous-produits industriels et miniers comme le carbone ou la brasque, les transformant en ressources valorisables.

The crushing and sieving service, mainly offered by STACA, is a key activity in the valorization of industrial and mining by-products. This process allows for the transformation and calibration of raw materials to meet precise granulometric specifications, thus making them reusable or suitable for a new application. We process a variety of products, including carbon, spent potlining (brasque), electrolytic bath, and other by-products from the metals industry. Crushing reduces particle size, while sieving separates them into different fractions, ensuring high homogeneity and consistent quality of the final product. This step is often essential for reconditioning materials or developing new processes. Our flexibility allows us to adjust crushing and sieving parameters to meet the current and future needs of our clients, transforming what was a reject into a valuable resource.
At STACA, we primarily process carbon, spent potlining (brasque), electrolytic bath, and other industrial and mining by-products.
The purpose is to transform and calibrate materials to meet precise specifications, making them suitable for a new use and thus valorizing them.
