Lindberg MPH, Riverside, Mich., announces that it has designed a melting and holding furnace with an aluminum melt rate of 3000 pounds per hour and the capacity to hold up to 40,000 pounds of aluminum. An exterior discharge well and working tap are included with the furnace as a means of aluminum removal. The equipment also features a circulation well for improved temperature and alloy uniformity.
This custom furnace will be used in the production of aluminum powder. Temperature of the metal is controlled through digital temperature controllers. Flue gases are controlled with a mechanical flue damper, reducing flue losses during low-fire operation. A totalizing gas meter is also included to accurately measure gas usage.
“The Lindberg/MPH engineering team worked closely with the customer on a custom design that met their application requirements. A factory trained technician supervised the installation and performed the initial start-up to ensure that everything went smoothly,” says Andrew Paul, Sales Representative.
