What furnace is used to melt aluminum
2024-06-17
A variety of furnaces can be used to melt aluminum. Here are some common types: – Crucible furnace: This is a more commonly used aluminum melting equipment, which is divided into gas crucible furnace, oil crucible furnace, electric crucible furnace, etc. The advantages of crucible furnace are low investment, easy operation, high metal recovery rate, but small production capacity, short life, and unstable composition. – Rectangular furnace: Simple structure, easy operation, using the method of charging at the furnace door, which is conducive to rapid charging in a short time and improving the charging operation rate. Rectangular furnaces can better meet the requirements of strict alloy composition, large single furnace capacity, discontinuous production, etc. in the smelting process of aluminum and aluminum alloys, while saving energy and improving working conditions. – Round furnace: Advanced round furnaces can tilt to pour aluminum water. Compared with rectangular furnaces, round furnaces are usually larger in tonnage, including 2 tons, 6 tons, 8 tons, 10 tons, etc. Round furnaces may have certain advantages in control systems and waste heat recovery. When choosing an aluminum melting furnace, the following factors need to be considered: – Demand...
