The tilting rotary drum furnace has proven itself to be a key technology in modern aluminium recycling facilities for smelting small pieces of contaminated scrap.
Particular advantages:
The short overall charging time and the significantly reduced need to add salt lead to increased production and make the facility more cost-effective
Maximum yields coupled with extremely low specific energy consumption. The thermal efficiency is approximately 70 %
Particularly suited to the use of materials with a high oxide content, such as:
• Dross
• UBC scrap
• Shavings
Design features:
Very robust and compact build
The geometry of the furnace drum and the tilt angle are optimally aligned with the burner flame control and the fill level
The rotation speed can be freely adjusted via the furnace control system
Two-part multi-functional doors with built-in burner calibration, slag retention device and flue gas extraction into the exhaust gas system. Each door panel can be adjusted individually
The exhaust gas extraction system and the furnace doors adjust to match any possible angle of tilt on the furnace itself in order to ensure optimum flue gas extraction
Fill weight detection by means of load cells
Visual bearing temperature monitoring
Burner and control system features:
State-of-the-art gas-oxygen burners
Optimised temperature monitoring
Reduction of the oxidation atmosphere by means of continuous temperature control
Manual or automatic output control
