Lindberg/MPH, Riverside, Mich. has completed shipment of a gas fired aluminum stack melting and holding furnace, providing a manufacturer of recreational vehicles the additional melt capacity for a new diecasting machine.
With a melt rate of about 1500 pounds per hour, the Stack Melter features a gondola system that weighs each load and automatically lifts and dumps the material down the stack for melting. The melt zone consists of a sloped charging stack to minimize impact damage from ingots. Lasers monitor the material level in the stack and shut down the melting zone if the metal overfills the holding chamber, and a process controller provides temperature control, charging control, data logging, and alarm history.
A division of Thermal Product Solutions (TPS), Lindberg/MPH manufactures pit, box, IQ, and belt type furnaces for the ferrous and nonferrous markets and a line of melting and holding furnaces for nonferrous alloys.
