Electrically Heated, for Holding Aluminum
Bath furnace B 500
Bath furnace B 120
Inlet opening for filling with liquid aluminum
Melting thermocouple in the bath of the
outlet opening
Heating mounted in the lid, simple replacement
of the heating elements
The B 120 - B 500 bath furnaces (without crucibles) have been especially developed for stationary holding operation in die-cast foundries with removal of the melt by a bale-out robot. The tub of the bath furnaces is lined with special long-life brick. The multi-layered backing insulation is designed for lowest electric connected load. The furnace tub is divided into three interconnected chambers. The heating proceeds from the lid into the center chamber. The baleout openings are dimensioned to enable the robot to be optimally used. In holding operation bath furnaces, when used properly, provide better energy efficiency than bale-out furnaces.
- Tmax 1000 °C, perfectly suited for holding of aluminum at about 720 °C
- Heating mounted in the lid, freely radiating from carrier tubes
- Particularly low energy consumption due to generously dimensioned, multi-layer insulation
- Only fiber materials are used which are not classified as carcinogenic according to TRGS 905, class 1 or 2
- High melt quality due to very low corundum formation on the surface
- Heating switched by solid-state-relays
- No exhaust gas discharge needed
- Temperature control with measurement in the melt and in the furnace chamber
- Plug for connection with separate switchgear cabinet
- Useful only for holding, not for melting
- Defined application within the constraints of the operating instructions
Additional Equipment
- Adaptation to dosing pump
- Automated lid opening for ladling operation
- Ladle opening adapted to size of ladle
