Industrial furnace engineering and firing systems form the backbone of modern aluminium production and recycling. From melting scrap and refining alloys to casting and heat treatment, aluminium processing remains heavily dependent on efficient thermal systems.

Modern furnace technologies offer a combination of combustion systems, heat recovery, automation and process controls for successful energy optimisation while ensuring consistency of product quality.

These advances are especially relevant to the aluminium sector, where recycling and low-carbon production are becoming key industry priorities.

At this juncture, JASPER GmbH steps in with specialised expertise in thermal process technology.

Founded in Germany in 1983, JASPER GmbH specialises in industrial furnace engineering, firing systems, energy engineering and automation solutions.

The company serves industries including aluminium, steel, zinc processing and waste treatment, offering integrated solutions that cover design, engineering, project execution, commissioning and technical support.

Core activities

JASPER's portfolio includes:

• Aluminium melting, holding and casting furnaces
• Multi-chamber recycling and remelting systems
• Regenerative burner and combustion technologies
• Energy-efficiency and heat-recovery solutions
• Electrical engineering and automation systems
• Process control and monitoring technologies
• Waste treatment and energy recovery systems

A major focus of the company is aluminium recycling, where its furnace technologies are designed to improve metal recovery, reduce fuel consumption and handle increasingly complex scrap streams.

At present, JASPER is positioned within the thermal-processing sector, whereby it focuses on customised engineering solutions rather than standard equipment manufacturing, specifically for energy-intensive industries such as aluminium recycling and remelting.
