About us

For more than 50 years, PAE Technologies has been delivering state-of-the-art casthouse technologies, equipment, and services to the aluminium and non-ferrous metals industries worldwide. PAE Technologies’ expertise spans the full casting process, from liquid metal treatment (degassing, filtration, grain refining) to solid product formation, including strips, slabs, and billets. Our solutions combine strong metallurgical know-how, advanced engineering, and proven process control.

Our equipment portfolio includes:

  • Horizontal continuous twin-roll strip casters: JUMBO 3C®, 3CM®
  • Vertical Direct Chill slab and billet casting machines, including automation systems such as AUTOPAK®
  • In-line molten metal degassers: ALPUR®, JETCLEANER®
  • In-furnace metal treatment systems: IRMA®
  • In-line molten metal filtration systems: PDBF®, CFF

In the 1970s, the company pioneered one of the industry’s first automatic DC casting control systems, AUTOPAK®, enabling safe “hands-off” operation through capacitive metal-level sensing—an innovation that continues to shape modern casthouse automation.
