Hot Chamber Melting Solutions3
Advantage of Contoured Element Design
Up to 35% more kW Floor heating for more direct heat transfer crucibleEven heat distribution to crucible results in longer lifeConverts solid ingot into a liquid much faster
Hot Chamber Melting Solutions4
Thermal Heating System
Insulating modules also supports heating system EES Ceramic Modular replaceable insulationSuperior heat retention compared to brick and board insulationLower furnace cold face temperatureHeavy gage solid rod over bend element wire
Hot Chamber Melting Solutions5
SSR Power Controls
Dramatically increase element lifeMinimizing temperature extremesNo replacing of mechanical contactors Operates seamlessly with Feed Forward PID® Systems Board
Hot Chamber Melting Solutions6
Contoured Design Applications
Hot or Cold Chamber Furnaces1 TO 3 Heating Zones40 to 800 kWEES Rod over bend element designUp to 35% more kW 3 to 5 years element life
Hot Chamber Melting Solutions7
Crucible Forward Furnace DesignNo heating elements at the front of furnace, additional floor elements supply required heatAir space for heat circulationA Shorter nozzle can be usedCounters gooseneck heat sink effect
Hot Chamber Melting Solutions8
Castable Refractory Floor
Deeper furnace box Thicker refractory floorSilica free refractoryOnce refractory floor is super heated it acts as a heat spreading “hot plate” distributing heat evenly along crucible bottom even when heat is not cyclingPrevents spikes in molten bath temperature
Hot Chamber Melting Solutions9
Feed Forward PID Heating Controls
Takes over PID as soon as production mode is selected. Reacts faster and ahead of slow acting temperature controllers typically supplied to control furnaceReduces temperature swings at start of productionFully adjustable to suit small or large melt rate Boosts furnace melt rate by up to 30%Minimize power consumption per Kilogram of magnesium melted
