Improvement solutions
A cheaper, safer, more stable line
For factories that run their own production line. We started on the factory floor solving cost, waste and safety problems. That work led us to the manufacturers behind the best solutions, and now we supply what we once specified: furnace construction and repair, the DX-MC dross extractor, locally made replacement parts, process chemicals, coolants and lubricants.
Delivered by POSTEC Corporation.
How it works
From a walk on your floor to figures you can check
We work the way we did as production consultants. The product comes last, after the problem has a name and a cost.
01 · Assess
We walk your floor before we talk
Our engineers start where the problems live. We watch the line run, measure the waste and look for the cost you have learned to ignore.
02 · Identify
We name the cost, the waste and the danger
You get a list of specific problems, with what each one costs and the safety risk it carries.
03 · Implement
We bring the fix to your floor
We source the right equipment, parts or chemicals, then install and adjust them on your line.
04 · Prove
We measure again
After the fix we measure the same things we measured at the start: scrap, downtime and metal loss. The proof is on your floor, not in a slide deck.
Services
Four ways we cut your factory losses
We do not sell theory. Every fix is tied to a loss you can already see in your monthly numbers.
Cost reduction
Metal sold off as dross, parts ordered from overseas and fluids that do not last are the usual leaks. We close them at the source.
Replacement parts
Waste management
Dross is pressed for its aluminium first. What is left is collected under licence by Monster Tech, the recycling plant in our group.
Recycling
Safety improvements
Less heat and smoke at the furnace, and machines that keep hands away from hot dross.
DX-MC dross extractor
Process efficiency
Furnaces built or repaired around your alloy and cycle, and coolant adjusted at the machine that uses it.
Furnace workParts
Stop waiting on imported machine parts
We reverse-engineer the wear parts your imported machines go through and make them here in Thailand, without the overseas freight or the wait.
Imported original
Ordered from the machine maker overseas, usually through a distributor, and produced on the maker's schedule.
Made in Thailand
Measured from your sample or drawing, reverse-engineered and produced locally.
Imported original
The price carries international freight, import duty and the distributor's margin on top of the part itself.
Made in Thailand
Material and machining only. Compare our quotation with what you pay for the imported part today before you order.
Imported original
Overseas production, sea or air freight and customs clearance all sit between the order and your line.
Made in Thailand
Production and delivery inside Thailand. The lead time is stated in the quotation before you commit.
Need a complete part made to your own drawing instead? See contract manufacturing.
Consulting
We recommend what we would run ourselves
POSTEC Corporation began as production consultants. We solved problems on the factory floor before we ever sold a part or a machine.
Specified first
Everything we supply is something we first chose for a customer's production line as consultants.
Direct to the maker
We work with the manufacturers behind each solution on the specification, not through a chain of resellers.
Build and repair
Furnaces for aluminium melting and holding, built around your line
We build new melting and holding furnaces and rebuild or reline the ones you already run. Each job is specified for your alloy, capacity and cycle, so the furnace fits the line and not the other way round.
Recover
Press the aluminium back out of your dross
The Postec DX-MC takes hot dross skimmed from the furnace and returns over 50% of it to your process as aluminium, in three steps and under 30 minutes per cycle. It is worth aluminium price again, not dross price. Machines are in use in Thailand, Indonesia and Vietnam.
Protect
Flux that lets the crew work at the furnace
We supply an imported flux that does not give off heat, so operators can stay at the furnace and clean the melt properly before casting. No toxic smoke leaves the building. The slag carries very little aluminium and cools quickly, which lowers the fire risk. We supply process coatings alongside it.
Results
Dross that went back into the furnace, not out of the gate
One customer was selling the dross skimmed from its furnaces at dross price. With a DX-MC on the floor, over 50% of it now returns to the process as aluminium, in under 30 minutes per cycle.

More
The full fix
We stay for the details that usually get left on the consultant's report.
Equipment specification
Before you buy a furnace, a machine or a part, we help write the specification and choose the supplier.
Preventive maintenance
Planned checks and repairs on furnaces and machines, so the work is scheduled and not forced by a breakdown.
Process chemicals
Coolant adjusted at the machine
We analyse how coolant is used on your floor and adjust it: more parts from each drum every month, no white residue and slower tool wear.
Next
Works with the rest of your plant
What factories usually add after the first fix.
Recover
Pull aluminium from your dross
The DX-MC is our own machine, configured to your furnace capacity and dross volume.
Licensed metal waste collection
Monster Tech collects and recycles your dross and non-ferrous metal waste under its factory licence.
Lubricants and coolants
Hydrosyn hydraulic, gear and slideway oils and metalworking coolants for the same production line.
Show us the problem on your floor. We will walk it with you.
Furnace capacity, dross volume, the imported part you keep waiting for or the coolant that does not last. Send the details and a POSTEC Corporation engineer will come back to you.
