APLICATION REPORT of MELTOWER 5000kg/hr

Aluminium MELTOWER Furnace

Continuous Melting furnace 5000 kg/hr on tower mode, for alloyed aluminium in high-pressure diecasting process.

MELTOWER designed and manufactured in modular way, charging hood, preheating and melting chambers, over a structural support frame. The height is adjusted to transfer molten metal to an existing holding furnace by the spout.

The charging system is composed by a skip elevator and a storing system capable to weight and record the amount of INPUT material charged. This system is interlocked with the hood door of the tower.

Refractory lining consists of a combination of precast shapes, monolithic castable, firebricks, and other materials. High strength and abrasion resistant material is applied in the impact areas of the tower.
