| Manufacture | Molten Metal Systems (USA) |
| 2006 | |
| Configuration | |
| - Patented tilting and swiveling furnace | |
| - Furnace mouth can be swiveled 360 degrees | |
| - Charge at 12 o'clock | |
| - Pour at 3 o'clock | |
| - Pour off slat cake at 9 o'clock, etc. | |
| - Greatly reduces lost cycle time | |
| - No need to move the charging machine in and out | |
| - No need to move sow molds, pans, pouring trough in and out | |
| Molten Metal Holding Capacity | 25,000 lbs nominal |
| (11.3 mtons) | |
| Expected Melt Rate | 10,000 lbs/hr (4.5 mtons) |
| (This example based on use of | |
| heavy extrusion scrap) | |
| Burner | NOT INCLUDED |
| Designed for use with a | |
| cold-air burner with | |
| 10,000,000 BTU/hr heat input. | |
| We can supply a oxy-fuel or | |
| cold-air burner at additional | |
| cost. | |
| Environmental Factors | |
| - Coupled with proper hood design and bag house, | this furnace can melt 100% |
| loads of painted scrap, oily saw chips, loose or | briquetted scrap, small coils |
| while meeting all air discharge requirements. | |
| - Metal can also be recovered from plant generated | or purchased dross. |
| Flux Usage | |
| - Furnace requires use of varying percentages of | flux comprised of salt, potash |
| and a small amount of cryolite or aluminum flouride. | |
| - The rotating action of the furnace not only accelerates | heat transfer to the scrap but |
| it washes oxide from the metal with the flux and | allows clean separation of |
| molten aluminum to optimize recovery. The resulting | "salt cake" must be disposed |
| of in a lined landfill since these items can leach out | into ground water. |
| Sold "as is, where is" installed but not in operation, USA. |
