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.

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!

Since the pandemic declaration and health crisis due to Covid19 coronavirus in March 2020 and subsequent lockdowns in the different countries where we developed our activities, Alfran, as an essential company, has carried out contingency plans that continue to be applied to ensure the continuity of its activity and guarantee the health&safety and the adequate organization of all its staff.

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.

Alfran starts its path by providing refractory products in the agro-industrial sector for the Mexican company, Citrofrut, which is specialized in the manufacturing and processing of tropical fruits, honey and fragrances. Different areas were repaired in the generator with our product Alfran Cast 80.
