Aluminum Melting Furnace Technology
The technical parameters of aluminum melting furnaces usually include the following aspects:
1. Furnace capacity:
This refers to the maximum volume of aluminum liquid that the furnace can accommodate. Common capacities include 1 ton, 2 tons, 5 tons, etc. For example, a 5-ton aluminum melting furnace is suitable for large-scale aluminum product manufacturers.
2. Heating power:
Determines the speed and efficiency of furnace heating. Generally measured in kilowatts (kW), such as 300kW, 500kW, etc. The greater the power, the faster the heating speed is usually, but the energy consumption also increases accordingly.
3. Maximum operating temperature:
Usually between 700-1000℃. For example, some models of aluminum melting furnaces have a maximum operating temperature of up to 900℃, which can meet the smelting needs of most aluminum and aluminum alloys.
4. Furnace lining materials:
Common ones include refractory bricks, refractory castables, ceramic fibers, etc. Different furnace lining materials have different refractory and thermal insulation properties.
5. Energy consumption index:
For example, the energy consumption per ton of aluminum, which is an important parameter to measure the energy-saving effect of the furnace. The energy consumption per ton of aluminum of an excellent aluminum melting furnace can be controlled at a low level.
6. Temperature control accuracy:
Generally between ±5 – ±10℃. High-precision temperature control helps to ensure the quality of aluminum liquid and the stability of the smelting process.
7. Melting rate:
That is, the weight of aluminum that can be melted per unit time. Usually in kilograms per hour (kg/h), such as 500kg/h, etc.
8. Furnace size:
Including length, width, and height, which will affect the installation space and layout of the furnace.
9. Exhaust temperature:
Lower exhaust temperature means better thermal energy utilization efficiency.
10. Degree of automation:
Such as whether it has automatic feeding, automatic temperature control, automatic stirring and other functions.
These technical parameters will vary depending on the model and manufacturer of the aluminum melting furnace. When choosing an aluminum melting furnace, it is necessary to comprehensively consider the specific production needs and process requirements.
