Electrically Heated, for Melting and Holding
Charging of transport ladle with tilting
furnace K 360/12
Tilting furnace K 40/13 with extended
spout (sculpture foundry Knaak)
The electrically heated tilting furnaces are characterized by high melting performance with very temperature uniformity in the melt. Aluminum and brass can be melted in the 1200 °C version. The 1300 °C version can also be used to melt bronze alloys.
- K ../12 with Tmax of 1200 °C also suitable for aluminum or brass, with a maximum melt bath temperature, depending on the condition of the crucible, of 1050 °C
- K ../13 with Tmax of 1300 °C also suitable for bronze alloys or brass, with a maximum melt bath temperature of 1150 °C
- Heating from three sides using electric heating elements, radiating freely on support tubes, simple exchange of individual heating elements
- Multi-step wiring of the heating elements for furnaces with more than 50 kW electrical rating
- Heating of furnaces up to 60 kW power rating controlled using long-lasting, noiseless solid-state-relays
- Heating of furnaces beyond 60 kW with contactors
- High melting performance with temperature uniformity in the melt
- Insulation constructed in multiple layers with lightweight refractory bricks on the hot face
- Incl. crucible
- Electro-hydraulic tilting system with flame resistant HFC hydraulic fluid
- Safe, even, and precise pouring thanks to optimum pivot point in the furnace and manual throttling valve operation
- Emergency outlet for safe draining of the melt in case of crucible breakage
- Only fiber materials are used which are not classified as carcinogenic according to TRGS 905, class 1 or 2
- No exhaust gas discharge needed
- Integrated safety system which continues to operate the furnace at reduced power in case of malfunction in the bath thermocouple, in order to prevent the freezing of the melt
- Over-temperature limiter in furnace chamber for protection against overheating. The limiter switches the heating off when the set limit temperature is reached, and only switches it back on after the temperature has fallen again
- Furnace chamber control with temperature measurement behind the crucible, recommended for melting
- Defined application within the constraints of the operating instructions
