06

Continuous process

The combination of melting and holding ensures a constant supply of liquid metal.

Melting and holding at temperature

Two functions within a single furnace system

The combination of a melting and holding zone enables the metal to be processed and subsequently maintained at the required process temperature .

This allows the equipment to supply molten aluminium for die-casting, permanent-mould casting or low-pressure casting processes.

  • Continuous aluminium processing
  • Controlled holding of the melt
  • Stable supply of molten metal
  • Reduction in process interruptions
  • Integration into foundry processes
  • Use in die-casting
  • Use in die casting
  • Use in low-pressure die casting
Preheating systems

Preheating of feedstock to support energy efficiency

The scope of supply included two preheating systems which thermally prepare the charge material prior to its feed into the melting process.

Energy

Reduced energy consumption during melting

Preheated material requires less energy to reach the required melting temperature.

Speed

Support for faster melting cycles

Preheating can speed up the preparation of the feedstock and boost productivity .

Moisture

Reduction of moisture content

Thermal preparation of the material can help to reduce the amount of moisture entering the melting process.

Stability

More controlled process conditions

Thermally pre-treated feedstock can help to ensure stable conditions during melting.

Transport crucibles

Safe and controlled transport of molten aluminium

Transport crucibles enable the conveyance of molten metal within a plant or between different production areas without unnecessarily interrupting the material flow.

Safety

Controlled handling of molten metal

The transport crucibles are designed for the controlled transport of molten metal within the production process.

Temperature

Reduction of heat loss

Thermally appropriate transport can help to maintain the temperature of the aluminium during in-plant transport.

Material flow

Continuous supply to production

The crucibles facilitate the transport of the metal between the melting plant and subsequent production areas.

Professional dismantling

Professional dismantling of all plant components

A project of this scale requires co-ordinated dismantling of the main furnace as well as the auxiliary equipment and components for metal handling.

The qualified FISS team undertook the dismantling of the melting and holding furnace, the two preheating systems and the transport crucibles.

  • Planning the dismantling sequence
  • Preparation of the main furnace
  • Dismantling of the preheating systems
  • Preparation of the transport crucibles
  • Use of suitable lifting equipment
  • Professional handling of heavy components
  • Coordination of internal transport
  • Preparation for final loading
In-plant transport and loading

Safe preparation for transport to the new site

Following dismantling, all components were transported within the factory to the loading area and professionally loaded for subsequent onward transport.

Handling

Suitable lifting and transport equipment

The handling of foundry components requires lifting and transport equipment that is tailored to the respective components.

In-plant transport

Co-ordinated transport within the plant

The dismantled components were professionally moved to the designated loading area.

Loading

Preparation for onward transport

The professional loading process laid the groundwork for the safe transport of the equipment to its new location.

Process efficiency

How the furnace, preheating and transport crucible work together

The combination of these three plant areas supports a continuous flow of material from the preparation of the feedstock right through to the delivery of molten aluminium.

Step 1

Preheating feedstock

The preheating systems thermally prepare the material and can reduce energy consumption in the furnace.

Step 2

Melting and holding aluminium at temperature

The StrikoWestofen melts the material and maintains the molten metal at a temperature suitable for subsequent processes .

Step 3

Transporting molten metal

The transport crucibles convey the aluminium to other areas of the plant, thereby supporting an efficient material flow.

Result

Integrated production process

The interaction between the systems can support continuous, stable and energy-efficient production.

Second-hand foundry furnaces

Why might a second-hand melting plant be economically attractive?

Second-hand equipment from an established manufacturer can represent a cost-effective alternative to investing in a completely new system.

Investment

Reduced capital requirements

Second-hand equipment can reduce the initial investment compared to comparable new equipment.

Availability

Potentially shorter project duration

Existing equipment may, under the right conditions, be available more quickly than a completely new system.
