Transportable Crucible Furnace Electrically Heated
Materials/Metals: Aluminium, Lead, Magnesium, Zinc,
Heating Systems: Electrically Heated,
Processes: Metal Transfer,
Type: SLEM
Transportable furnaces for scooping, melting and holding of light alloys with electrical heating. Mainly used in die-casting machines and in gravity die-castings. The transport takes place by overhead crane or forklift. Automatic connectors allow a smooth transition of the furnaces. Advantages of the electric furnace:
- Silent operation
- Low heat losses through high-quality insulation
- No exhaust system needed
- Accurate temperature control
Crucible:
- Standard design for the use of graphite or SIC crucible.
- In case of magnesium, a steel crucible with protective gas is going to be used.
Heating elements:
stacked, meandering heaters with two outward guided terminal studs.
Possible cover versions:
- Without cover
- Hand – operated cover
- Hand – operated cover with swivel device
- Electromechanical cover swivel device
- Pneumatic cover swivel device
- Hydraulic cover swivel device
