Melting and Holding Furnace

Description

Capacity is up to 80 MT, Door operating system: Hydraulic / Electro-mechanical. Pneumatic door clamping for positive sealing to reduce heat leakage to minimum. Fume extraction process: Fume extraction hood above door to ensure environmentally clean plant operating conditions, Type of refractory used: Proven refractory lining to suit particular metal conditions - monolithic, brick or pre-cast blocks. Wide variety of heating system: Heating system based on customers' choice of energy supply - Fuel Oil (HFO, LDO & LSHS), Gas or through special construction radiant tube electrical heaters. Automatic Mass-flow based Fuel / Air Ratio control or Thyristor controlled Electrical heating system for energy efficient operation. Automatic furnace pressure control using specially designed damper for better heat transfer & minimum heat leakage losses. Metal transfer process::Molten metal receiving well with hot metal crucible tilting mechanism. Manual or Automatic control for molten metal transfer to caster. Specific PC/PLC based SCADA control system with HMI interface.
