Barrel Melting Furnaces
The new generation tilting or stationary Barrel Furnace is a most effective solution for die casters, foundries and re-melters.
The barrel form of refractory lining is inherently strong, long-lived, and easy to maintain. The fore-hearth design provides preheat to ingots using waste heat recovery. Tilting or non-tilting models. Hydraulic tilting system with lip-axis pouring enables precise pouring control and delivers clean metal from the heart of the melt. Also available with a bale-out well custom engineered to suit a variety of ladle sizes.
Standard equipment includes:
- Full electrics with automatic temperature controls
- Swing-aside ingot charging machine (smaller models)
- Hydraulic power for tilting, charging and door operation
- Bale-well design available, for dedicated die-casting machine operation
- Combustion system designed for high heat-transfer efficiency using natural gas, LPG, or oil
- Special refractory lining designed specifically for low casing temperatures, long life and ease of cleaning
Key features:
- Melt rate from 200 kg/hr to 1500 kg/hr, depending on requirements
- Practical, robust and reliable
- High thermal efficiency & low running costs
- Low oxide losses yielding clean metal
- Easy to operate, charge and pour. Easy to clean and maintain.
