Holding furnace

2 chambers of 3.5T each to maintain in temperature 2×3 immersion heaters Need in power: 240kW

– 3 immersion heaters dia 55, 40kW each, sheath 1320mm long – Lifetime more than 2,5 years – Piloted by a dedicated control cabinet

Melting furnace

Large industrial melting furnace Molten aluminium and immersion heaters smelt solid aluminium Temperature to hold at 750°C while smelting

– 13 immersion heaters dia 32, 13kW each – Innovative industrial electric melting furnace – Fully environmental friendly

Crucible with dynamic reheating

– 400kg liquid aluminium – 4 heaters dia 28mm, 15kW each – Reheating from 750 to 800°C in 10 minutes – A sensor detecting position of lid turning off heaters power – The relevant piloting cabinet – Quality of aluminium maintained

Filtration unit

Flow rate of aluminium at 4T/h Need in maintaining and reheating – 3 immersion heaters in horizontal position, offering 9kW each – Physical and thermal dimensioning of heaters – Proven tightness solution – Relevant piloting cabinet

Furnace with low bath level

Transfer ladle

– A ladle of 1200kg of aluminium – Temperature losses during transfer furnace/ladle and pouring ladle/mouldNecessity to reheat before pouring into a mould Keeping quality of aluminium – A well insulated lid with holes for heaters- 3 heaters ø28, 15kW each – Reheating from 700 to 760°C within 6 minutes – Relevant piloting cabinet

Holding road transport ladle

– 6T – Need in reheating 10°C/h up to 830°C – 3 heaters ø32mm, 1400mm long, 15kW each

Replacement of vault resistances by heaters

– High dynamic – Homogeneous temperature – 40% less energy consumption – 6 immersion heaters, 15kW each- Quality of aluminium    unchanged, no corundum

Retrofit of degassing unit

Replacement of inefficient and expensive graphite heating blocks Rotors creating high temperature losses & a significant aluminium vortex Possibility to have chloride and other additives

– Implementation of 1 heater per chamber, dia 55mm, standing additives – Thermal, financial and qualitative efficiency of the solution – Small heating length fitting bath level, 11kW each – Good dynamic

Upholding during maintenance

28 vault furnaces 45kW each, with corundum Aluminium temperature at 665°C 4 hrs to reheat before production restart when temperature falls down to 630°C – 1 mobile station « Heat Pack » – 1 heater 32 & Ø 55 12,5 kW each – Gain 2 hours of maintenance on each 28 ovens, 2 times a month

Maintaining aluminium Temperature in launders

– Low aluminium level – Horizontal mounting

Continuous casting

Heating plugs, furnace for preheating of the plugs
