Other Details

We offer Ingot Loading Automation which involves loading from the top of a vertical tower with burners at the bottom. The principal method of heat is through convection by direct impingement of the burner on the metal in the lower section of the tower and by the combustion gases as they travel out the tower past the metal charge The advantages of the Ingot Loading Automation are high efficiency (40 %-77 %) and low oxidation losses. The disadvantages are their high capital costs and the furnace size is restricted by height limitations. The automation finds application in Central Melting in Die Casting, Ingot Manufacturing, Alloy Making, Metal Recycling etc.
