Specialists in structural aluminium profiles

What is structural aluminum?

Structural aluminum is a modular system made of aluminium alloys that facilitates the construction of custom mechanical structures. Its versatile design allows it to adapt to multiple industrial applications, such as machine beds, production lines and transport systems.

Advantages of this material

• Strength-to-weight ratio . Aluminum is one of the lightest materials available in the industry, making it easy to transport, handle and install. However, it is extremely strong and is used to build lightweight but robust structures.

• Corrosion resistance . Aluminum is known for its exceptional resistance to corrosion. Unlike steel, which rusts easily, aluminum is preserved over time, ensuring greater durability of structures.

• Flexibility in design . Its modular design allows the structures to be adapted to any configuration without the need for complex modifications. This makes it ideal for industrial environments where changes are frequent.

Installation process of our profiles

1. Before starting the installation of the aluminium profile, it is important to make an accurate measurement of the area where it will be placed. This will ensure the perfect fit of the profile to the space and avoid problems during installation.

2. The surface where the aluminium profile will be placed must be prepared prior to installation.

3. Aluminum must be cut to size using special metal cutting tools. It is crucial to ensure that the cut is precise and clean so that the profile fits properly.

4. The aluminium profile can be fixed in different ways depending on the type of installation.

5. After fixing the profile, it is advisable to seal any gap between it and the surface where it has been installed to prevent the entry of water or other elements.

Disumtec exclusive service

At Disumtec we know how important it is to shape projects. That is why we have incorporated a new exclusive service for aluminium profiles: custom cutting.

From now on, you can select the exact size of your profiles so that they fit correctly into your design. Forget about waste and adapt your aluminium profiles to the dimensions of your project.

Applications of structural aluminum

Structural aluminum has become an alternative to steel structures. With the great advantage that they can be built more quickly and with a much lower investment. That is why most industries opt for this material when forming structures.

Below are the main industries that use structural profiles.

Construction

There is no doubt that steel is the preferred choice of architects and civil engineers, since it is a strong, hard, resistant and at the same time light and manageable metal. At the same time, aluminum has excellent aesthetic finishes, so its function is to support and decorate modern buildings.

It is used for the manufacture of window and door frames, facade systems, railings, grilles, among other architectural elements.

Aerospace

The combination of lightness and strength is essential for the construction of aircraft and spacecraft, where weight reduction is crucial to achieving greater efficiency and performance.

Similarly, the automotive industry uses this material to manufacture parts and components that help improve fuel efficiency and the overall performance of cars.

Food and pharmaceutical

In the food industry, aluminium profiles provide hygienic and safe environments. Conveyor belts made from aluminium are easy to clean and resistant to corrosion, meeting strict food safety standards. In addition, modular structures can increase productivity and reduce downtime by adjusting to the type of product at any given time.

In the pharmaceutical industry, aluminium profiles are used in the construction of clean rooms and special enclosures that comply with the most demanding regulations in the sector.

Domestic use

Apart from the industrial applications mentioned above, this material is also suitable for manufacturing household items. Among these domestic applications, the construction of doors, windows and decorative elements stands out, since they are weather-resistant and have an excellent aesthetic finish. In addition, in metal carpentry, aluminium is used to manufacture stairs, railings, gates, etc.
