Melting furnaces

Dry-hearth furnace systems are a reliable solution for melting down ingots, sows and heavy scrap containing a free ferrous portion (e.g., automotive castings). The iron content is reclaimed from the dry hearth after the aluminium scrap has molten down. 

Design features:

Minimum energy consumption thanks to appropriate furnace design, proven furnace pressure control technology and advanced modular door systems with positive clamping for excellent sealing. A prefabricated refractory lining in the door area minimizes maintenance.

The range of accessories extends from charging and skimming machines to electromagnetic stirrers, porous plugs and siphon systems for liquid metal charging. Semi-automatic tapping systems are available for stationary furnaces. For tilting furnaces, a laser-based launder level control system can be supplied to control automatic tilting.
