ALUMINIUM FRAMES & MOUNTING SYSTEMS
ARKAT Aluminum provides high quality Alumiun Frames for the production of photovoltaic modules and pv moutning systems.
Founded in 2014, ARKAT Aluminum was established with the goal of offering exceptional service to both domestic and international customers in the aluminum coating and processing industry. The company is located in Bursa, an industrial hub in Turkey, 150 km south of Istanbul.
Although, the Aluminium frame is usually considered not as a key component of a photovoltaic module, it can often be the difference between a defective solar module and one that is in perfect condition: it gives protection and mechanical strength to the Glass-Backsheet or Glass-Glass laminate and it provides mounting attaching points for the installation. Over the entire life of the PV module (25-30 years) the Aluminium frames has to resist to harsh conditions, mechanical loads (wind and snow), very low and high temperature, UV exposure and corrosion.
Arkat is committed to growth and innovation. The company currently operates three extrusion machines, including a 6-inch, 7-inch, and the newly installed 10-inch machine, which has significantly increased production capacity. With the addition of the 10-inch machine, Arkat’s factory now has a minimum monthly production capacity of 2,500 tons. The manufacturing facility spans 30,000 square meters, providing ample space for continued expansion.
In addition to extrusion, Arkat also specializes in anodizing, with a dedicated area of 2,500 square meters for this process.
Currently employing 250 skilled workers, Arkat expects its workforce to grow to between 300 and 350 employees following the recent addition of the new machine, ensuring the company remains well-equipped to meet the growing demands of the market.
Beside standard frames we have in our catalogue, we can offer customized frames profiles, with special Silver or Black Anodization and Powder Coating with any RAL colour.
The quality controls cover the entire process: the inspection of the raw materials (Aluminium billets), dimensions and mechanical properties of the extruded profiles, the thickness of the anodization/coating, and final dimensions of the cut profiles.
