Postec DX-MC dross extractor
Designed and delivered by POSTEC Corporation.
Quoted per furnace
In use in Thailand, Indonesia and Vietnam
Every ladle of dross your furnace produces still holds recoverable metal. The DX-MC gets it back — in minutes, on your own floor, with no one handling hot material.
Built in Thailand
Configured to your furnace
Every model is configured to your furnace before it's built. We start from our own base design, then set capacity, cycle and configuration around the furnace you actually run.
Installation and service
Installation, commissioning, spare parts and service all come from us — not passed back to a factory you've never met.
What happens to the residue
What is left after extraction is collected under licence by Monster Tech, the group's recycling plant.
Recovery
Metal at aluminium value, not dross price
The DX-MC is a recovery machine for the dross skimmed from your furnace. It returns the aluminium held in that dross to your process, on your own floor, so the metal keeps its value as aluminium instead of leaving the plant as scrap.
Over 50% of the dross returned to process as aluminium
One operator supervises the machine instead of manual dross handling
Built in Thailand to a specification set around your furnace
Proven on the furnace floor
Dross isn't waste. It's aluminium you already paid for.
Every ladle of dross your furnace produces still holds recoverable metal. The DX-MC gets it back — in minutes, on your own floor, with no one handling hot material.
Over50%
Aluminium returned to process
Recovered from dross that would otherwise leave the plant as scrap
30–50%
Lower manpower cost
One operator supervises the machine instead of manual dross handling
Under30 min
Per recovery cycle
From dross in to reclaimed metal out
฿5M+
Raw material cost avoided per year
At one automotive foundry, not an average. The machine paid for itself in under six months
Process
From dross in to reclaimed metal out
One recovery cycle runs in under 30 minutes, on your own floor, with no one handling hot material.
-
1
Skim
Dross comes off the furnace as it does today and goes into the DX-MC.
-
2
Lock
The safety door locks automatically. The operator runs the cycle from the control panel, in auto or manual mode.
-
3
Recover
The machine separates the recoverable aluminium from the dross. On the automated models, rotation and the exhaust damper run on their own.
-
4
Return
Reclaimed metal goes back to your process. From dross in to reclaimed metal out takes under 30 minutes.

Why this machine, from us
Built around your furnace, not pulled from a catalogue
We start from our own base design, then set capacity, cycle and configuration around the furnace you actually run — its size, the alloy you pour, the way your shifts are organised. Getting that specification right is why the machine performs from the first week instead of after six months of adjustment.
It's also the part a catalogue supplier can't copy. Knowing which configuration suits which furnace comes from years of standing in front of them, solving the problem before we ever sold a machine.
Specification
We specify, then build.
Our engineering team defines the machine for your process; our manufacturing partners in Thailand build to that specification.
Responsibility
One point of responsibility.
Installation, commissioning, spare parts and service all come from us — not passed back to a factory you've never met.
Local
Local production, local support.
Built in Thailand, which means lead times measured in weeks and an engineer who can be on your floor the same week you call.
Model range
Sized to the dross you actually produce
Recovery capacity should match what a shift produces, not exceed it — an oversized machine costs you floor space and runs below its efficient point. Tell us your furnace capacity and daily dross volume, and we'll tell you which model fits.

Specs
The numbers that matter
Every model is configured to your furnace before it's built. These are the figures that hold across the range.
Capacity
150 kg × 2 or 300 kg × 2 per cycle
Recovery capacity should match what a shift produces, not exceed it. Tell us your furnace capacity and daily dross volume, and we'll tell you which model fits.
Under 30 min per recovery cycle
From dross in to reclaimed metal out.
Auto and manual control
A control panel with auto and manual modes, supervised by one operator.
Install
Installed, commissioned and serviced by us
Built in Thailand, with lead times measured in weeks. Machines are in use in Thailand, Indonesia and Vietnam.
Residue
What happens to what is left
Once the aluminium is back in your process, the remaining residue is collected under licence by Monster Tech, the group's recycling plant. One group handles the machine and the waste stream.
