General Melting furnaces design features

• Heavy duty casing construction to withstand thermal and mechanical stresses.
• Expansion allowance and compensation in furnace design.
• Hydraulic or Electro Mechanical door lifting with synchronisation shaft to ensure uniform lift.
• Vertical or inclined doors.
• Static furnace or tilting (side or rear) furnace designs.
• Tilt cylinders integrated either at front of furnace, at floor level down side of furnace or underneath furnace in basement.
• Positive pneumatic door clamping and sealing systems.
• Long lasting refractory block, cast steel or water cooled door surrounds.
• Furnace chamber exhaust ducting systems and stacks to atmosphere.
• Door fume extraction hoods.
• Automatic pressure control regulation using an actuated ‘mechanical damper’.
• Pneumatically operated automated bath thermocouple to insertion and retraction system.
• High efficiency regenerative burners, hot air recuperation or cold air burner systems.
• Gas fired, Oil fired or electrical heat input systems.
• Electronic Fuel/Air ratio control or Thyristor control on heating elements.
• Manual or automatic metal pouring operation to suit specific casting requirements.
• Durable refractory linings in monolithic, brick or pre-cast blocks.
• Molten metal receiving wells with hot metal crucible tilting mechanisms for furnace filling.
• PC/PLC based control systems with human/machine interface giving ‘Set point’ furnace control.
• SCADA control systems.
• Continuous emission monitoring, data logging and trend analysis for environmental legislation.
