IBERFOIL Aragón has received in its factory in Sabiñánigo (Huesca) the second annealing furnace for aluminum coils which is part of the new production line that the company is building and which will allow to triple its current manufacturing capacity.

Its extraordinary size, 30% higher than any other oven with similar characteristics, make it the largest in Spain for the aluminum rolling process.

Its design and construction has been carried out by the Madrid company HEA, specialized in the design and production of high technology components for the aeronautical industry, and its manufacture has been materialized in Zaragoza by the company Rapa Caldedería and Montajes.

Its transfer to Sabiñánigo has again required the use of a special vehicle of 26 meters long, whose path has been supervised and coordinated by the Traffic Police.

The entrance of the convoy to the factory of IBERFOIL was realized by the Avenue of Huesca from the Cabañera. Once inside the enclosure, the furnace was unloaded in the ship 6 with the help of a 40 ton crane and the crane bridge enabled last March in this space.
