Integrated handling solutions for the evolving needs of the aluminium industry

From October 6 to 8, 2026, EPIQ Machinery will meet with key players from the global aluminium industry at ALUMINIUM Düsseldorf. Visitors are invited to stop by booth 6A30 to talk with our team and discover how EPIQ combines heavy-duty equipment, automation, robotization and digitalization to address complex industrial handling challenges.

Operating environments in the primary metals industry are constantly evolving. Producers are seeking safer operations, greater equipment availability, improved process performance and practical ways to support their decarbonization objectives. EPIQ responds to these priorities through an integrated ecosystem of specialized solutions. Across its portfolio, EPIQ can provide project-specific simulation tools and modernization capabilities, supporting customers throughout the entire lifecycle of their equipment and systems.

Heavy-duty solutions for carbon plants and casthouses

Under the AD line of equipment, EPIQ designs material handling and process systems for carbon plants. Our solutions include anode handling and cleaning systems.

We also provide a highly automated solution for casthouses and billet operations. Our billet homogenization system manages the flow from casting through homogenizing, sawing, inspection and billet packaging.

BROCHOT: two centuries of industrial heritage

BROCHOT solutions cover anode handling from cooling to the rodding shop, as well as proven pot ramming solutions.

Its turnkey systems and proprietary designs allow BROCHOT to combine proven industrial experience with today’s requirements for productivity, reliability and operational control. It is worth noting that a complete rodding shop can incorporate more than 30 stand-alone machines that must operate in perfect synchronization.

Visitors will also have an opportunity to learn more about BROCHOT’s solutions and the EPIQ vision for this historic industrial brand.

Smarter and safer casthouse operations

MECFOR solutions are engineered for the demanding conditions of aluminium smelters. The range includes specialized mobile equipment for transporting anodes and molten metal, as well as the configurable Smart Casthouse Solution. This solution helps optimize casthouse vehicle fleets through a range of tools for loading, stirring, skimming, cleaning and other operations.

Technologies such as QuicKonnect facilitate rapid tool changes, while MecforLink captures vehicle, component and process data in real time to support maintenance, equipment availability and continuous operational improvement.

EPIQ will also showcase its latest innovation in autonomous material handling, including eMOVe and eMOTION heavy-duty AGV/AMR solutions designed for industry.
