The furnace has a holding capacity of 13,700 lbs and a melting rate of 1,500 lbs/hr. The industrial furnace shell is ruggedly
reinforced with steel members to form boxed sections sufficient for a die casting
facility environment. The aluminum holding and melting furnace includes a hot
face castable around the belly band that is microporous and inert to aluminum
oxide formation. A preheat hearth with a full width door is included for
loading ingot and the opposite side of the furnace includes a clamshell door
for loading scrap. Both doors are powered by air cylinders through a manual
hand valve for ease of use. The furnace includes a dip well on each side to
provide molten aluminum to two die casting machines. The furnace temperature
controller has the ability to automatically preheat and dry out the furnace lining.
The controller will indicate when dry out is complete and hold until the
operator is ready to switch to normal operation.
