During the past months Alfran-HTR, our subsidiary in the United Arab Emirates, made the main shutdown at Unit 2 of Fujairah Cement Industries. In this project, 65 meters of bricks were installed in the rotary kiln, 138 tons of dense concrete in different units of the plant and 120 tons of our Lite LW 23 AS insulating concrete. The entire ALFRAN-HTR team was congratulated by the client for the prompt and perfect execution of the work. The outcome of a good job is a satisfied customer!
Recently, ALFRAN has given a training course for pump operators using Shotcrete technology within the ALFRAN Spain facilities. The course, with an eminently practical nature, has been focused on the operation and management of pumping equipment and the identification/replacement of key components and wear elements.
This course is part of within the activities that ALFRAN develops regularly to promote the continuous training of all collaborators and allows us to satisfy the growing demand in projects where Shotcrete technology is used, throughout the world.
Recently, in the ALFRAN Mexico facilities, a training was carried out for the application of Alfranjet castables in rotary kilns. The training course goal was to promote good practices throughout the installation process of the material, from the preparation of the resources to their proper final application.
The instruction simulated all the on-site operating conditions that occur, which allowed our collaborators to enhance their knowledge for risk analysis, line preparations, material quality control, and correct application techniques, according to our technical procedures. All the objectives set were achieved and the training was a success. ALFRAN is committed to Training and Continuous Improvement!
ALFRAN has developed its first basic concrete to be installed by Shotcrete technology. The tests carried out in our facilities have obtained excellent results both in the projection stages and in the final properties of the material, a concrete specially designed for different industrial applications, like for example, cement clinker rotary kilns. In addition, our ALFRANJET MAG85 is designed for both the bricks regrowth and the full lining thicknesses. Thanks to the development of this new material, in ALFRAN we reaffirm our commitment with the customers, searching and providing innovative solutions to satisfy their needs.
On June 5th, Environment Day has been celebrated, worldwide. In ALFRAN we want to highlight the Environment as an integrated value in our activities, strategies, and goals. ALFRAN has implemented ISO 14001 Standard as an Environmental Management System and is also subject to Integrated Environmental Authorization. Additionally, we are very aware of the European Green Deal, approved by the European Commission to promote the transition towards a Circular Economy, investing in technologies and using processes and services where energy and materials resources are used efficiently. We are sure that the Industry-Environment binomial is indivisible and possible from a sustainability point of view!
ALFRAN, a GRUPO ALDOMER company, joins the European Network for Workplace Health Promotion (ENWHP), through the adherence to the Luxembourg Declaration, a document that indicates the basic principles of action and the reference framework for good health management of the collaborators in the company.
In addition to the existing resources, our commitment is articulated with the implementation of a program of actions in health promotion that has a positive impact on people, the company and society as a whole.

Reduce-Reuse-Recycle
Taking advantage of the arrival of AlNova to Grupo ALDOMER, Innovation Day was held. Our collaborators attended a recreational-formative training session to put creativity methodologies into practice and the creation of collaborative solutions, thus promoting teamwork. The activity was a great success in terms of participation and all the collaborators received a well-deserved gift at the end of the day.
Grupo Aldomer, through the subsidiary INTEC-HEAT, has participated in the construction of the first fully Spanish-made submarine, the S-81 Isaac Peral, manufactured by Navantia at its shipyard in Cartagena, Spain. The company’s contribution in this historic milestone has been circumscribed to the performance of heat treatments in the hull of the submarine. One further step for Aldomer´s companies, INTEC-HEAT and ALFRAN to reinforce their status as a world reference by offering thermal treatment solutions in the naval sector and for industrial high temperature.
