Barrel Melting Furnaces
The new generation tilting or stationary Barrel Furnace is a most effective solution for die casters, foundries and re-melters.
The barrel form of refractory lining is inherently strong, and long-lived. The clear internal lines while improving performance and durability also reduce maintenance. The fore-hearth design provides waste heat recovery and enhances metallurgical conditions. The hydraulic tilting system with lip-axis tilting enables precise pouring control. The result is clean metal from the heart of the melt. Also available with a bale out well custom engineered to suit a variety of ladle sizes
Standard equipment includes:
- Full electrics with automatic temperature controls
- Swing-aside ingot charging machine (smaller models)
- Hydraulic power for tilting, charging and door operation
- Bale-well design available, for dedicated die-casting machine operation
- Combustion system designed for high heat-transfer efficiency using natural gas, LPG, or oil
- Special refractory lining designed specifically for low casing temperatures, long life and ease of cleaning
Key features:
- Melt rate from 200 kg/hr to 1500 kg/hr, depending on requirements
- Practical, robust and reliable
- High thermal efficiency & low running costs
- Low oxide losses yielding clean metal
- Easy to operate, charge and pour. Easy to clean and maintain.
