Solving various issues of the aluminum holding furnace! "1. Reduction of oxides" "2. Improved maintainability" "3. Safety" "4. Energy conservation"
<Problems with Reflective Electric Heater Holding Furnaces>
- The atmosphere temperature above the aluminum molten surface is high at 850°C, which promotes the generation of oxides.
<Problems with Under-type Electric Heater Holding Furnaces>
- Complete draining of the molten metal is necessary during heater tube replacement, which poses safety risks such as leaks.
<Problems with Vertical Immersion Electric Heater Holding Furnaces>
- The heater tubes are exposed above the molten surface, resulting in significant heat loss from the furnace body and a high occurrence of oxide generation around the tubes.
~These issues are resolved with the "Diagonal" Immersion Type!~
[What is a Diagonal Immersion Type Holding Furnace?]
It is a holding furnace equipped with high-efficiency electric heaters installed diagonally downward towards the aluminum molten surface.
1. Reduction of Oxides
- Similar to the under-immersion type, the immersion heater is completely submerged in the aluminum molten metal, which suppresses the generation of oxides.
2. Improved Maintainability
- The immersion heater tube can be replaced by draining the molten metal down to the lower limit of the molten metal sensor.
3. Safety
- Compared to the under-immersion type, there are fewer issues with aluminum molten metal leaks due to the heater's mounting position and structure.
4. Energy Saving
- By adopting high-efficiency heaters, the heat loss from the furnace body in the ceiling area is reduced.
Holding capacities range from 500kg to 2000kg.
