Tilting Rotary Furnace World Class Melting Technology

Tilting Rotary Furnace World Class Melting Technology

The Tilt Rotary Furnace Melting Solutions offer the TR range of advanced Tilting Rotary Furnaces available in capacities from 1-21.5 tonnes aluminium (1.5-11m3) TR furnaces provide state-of-the-art technology for melting a wide range of scrap and for processing drosses. Complete melting plant solutions are also available from Melting Solutions, including charging machines, holding furnaces, casting equipment and pollution control to meet the very highest environmental standards. All from one experienced supplier built on proven results from our users. The Melting Solutions TR Furnaces offer great flexibility. One furnace able to process drosses, mixed scrap, contaminated scrap (with iron) chips, UBC and foils. For companies looking to upgrade from fixed axis rotary melting or reverberatory melting the TR Furnaces offer significant advantages with attractive pay back. Low energy melting at 350kW per tonne. High production rates, unrivalled melting speed Full automation PLC and SCADA Minimum labour costs Quality engineering ensures long service life with minimum maintenance High metal recovery Integrated turn-key solutions from a world leader in melting technology Tilt Rotary Process 1. 2. 3. 4. 5. 6. 7. Tilt Rotary Furnaces, Double pass burner firing. (blue aluminium / red slag) 1. Furnace is charged very quickly using the large charge opening. 2. Melting by double pass burner arrangement. Saving energy-faster melting. 3. The furnace is tilted to pour out the aluminium. The dry slag remains in the furnace-no wasted time opening tap holes. 4. The furnace is rotated at high speed for 5 minutes in each direction-using burner if required. 5. More aluminium is poured out of the furnace. Repeat steps 4 & 5 until no further aluminium is obtained. 6. The furnace is tilted and rotated simultaneously to tip out the dry salt slag. Amount of slag greatly reduced because a liquid slag is not needed. Faster rotation-better separation of aluminium from slag. 7. After each cycle furnace is quickly cleaned, avoiding the need for a weekly salt wash.

WHY CHOOSE MELTING SOLUTIONS? For more than fifteen years Melting Solutions have pioneered tilt rotary design, working closely with our customers, and leading companies in the secondary aluminium industry worldwide.

CHARGING MACHINES AND MATERIAL HANDLING The efficient charging of the furnace is one of the most important considerations in creating a modern and efficient melting plant. Melting Solutions lead the industry, in effective charging and handling equipment. MOBILE VIBRATORY FEEDER We supply a range of Charging Machines from 1 10 m³ hopper capacity rated from 1T 6T per charge and above. Using powerful vibratory motors a wide range of scrap can be rapidly charged into the furnace at a nominal 1T/minute and often with dense and shredded scrap this charging rate is much faster. Our machines are heavy duty for years of trouble free service. We match the correct capacity machine for your furnace and scrap characteristics. The machines are fully integrated into the plant controls. We can include energy chains and machines that have long travel for crane loading. Operations by remote controls are also available to optimise productivity.
