The dismantled components were safely transported within the plant to the designated loading area.
Loading
All components were professionally loaded for subsequent transport to the new site.
StrikoWestofen MH II-T 3000-2000 G-eg for aluminium foundries
The system is designed for high melting capacity, efficient energy utilisation and stable conditions during aluminium processing.
High melting capacity
The furnace technology is designed for equipment with a high and continuous demand for molten aluminium .
Energy efficiency
Efficient heat utilisation can reduce energy consumption and ongoing operating costs.
Consistent melt quality
Precise temperature control ensures stable conditions for the molten metal.
Reduced metal losses
A controlled melting process can help to reduce oxidation and aluminium losses.
High availability
The robust design is engineered for continuous industrial use.
Continuous process
The combination of melting and holding ensures a constant supply of liquid metal.
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 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.
Reduced energy consumption during melting
Preheated material requires less energy to reach the required melting temperature.
Support for faster melting cycles
Preheating can speed up the preparation of the feedstock and boost productivity .
Reduction of moisture content
Thermal preparation of the material can help to reduce the amount of moisture entering the melting process.
More controlled process conditions
Thermally pre-treated feedstock can help to ensure stable conditions during melting.
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.
Controlled handling of molten metal
The transport crucibles are designed for the controlled transport of molten metal within the production process.
Reduction of heat loss
Thermally appropriate transport can help to maintain the temperature of the aluminium during in-plant transport.
Continuous supply to production
The crucibles facilitate the transport of the metal between the melting plant and subsequent production areas.
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
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.
Suitable lifting and transport equipment
The handling of foundry components requires lifting and transport equipment that is tailored to the respective components.
Co-ordinated transport within the plant
The dismantled components were professionally moved to the designated loading area.
Preparation for onward transport
The professional loading process laid the groundwork for the safe transport of the equipment to its new location.
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.
Preheating feedstock
The preheating systems thermally prepare the material and can reduce energy consumption in the furnace.
Melting and holding aluminium at temperature
The StrikoWestofen melts the material and maintains the molten metal at a temperature suitable for subsequent processes .
Transporting molten metal
The transport crucibles convey the aluminium to other areas of the plant, thereby supporting an efficient material flow.
Integrated production process
The interaction between the systems can support continuous, stable and energy-efficient production.
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.
Reduced capital requirements
Second-hand equipment can reduce the initial investment compared to comparable new equipment.
Potentially shorter project duration
Existing equipment may, under the right conditions, be available more quickly than a completely new system.
Pre-configured plant scope
In this project, the furnace was already combined with two preheating systems and transport crucibles.
Extending the equipment’s life cycle
The reuse of industrial equipment enables existing machinery and technologies to be utilised for longer.
