Aluminum melting furnace
Schaefer Group

We design these furnaces mainly to melt aluminum ingot and large billet. With no gassing or contamination by the lining, metal purity remains high. Impurities and the oxide skin stay on the hearth. Only molten aluminum enters the hold zone.
Melting - Fuel consumption is a modest 2.0 CF of gas per pound (504 kcal/0.4536 kg) of melted aluminum, thanks to the highly efficient radiant roof; this number drops even further with high momentum burners. A two-zone control offers the closest temperature control possible.

Easy Maintenance - Charge and clean-out doors are tangent with the side walls for cleaning access. A double hinged or full width clean-out door makes complete access to the hold zone simple.
