Furnteck Engineers is a leading manufacturer of advanced furnace systems, delivering high-quality solutions tailored for various industrial applications. Our Electrical Crucible Furnace with SiC heaters exemplifies our commitment to energy efficiency and superior performance, ensuring that our customers receive the best technology in aluminium melting.
Industries That Use It
The Electrical Crucible Furnace is widely utilized in industries such as aluminium foundries, metal casting, and heat treatment facilities. These furnaces are particularly suited for High-Pressure Die Casting (HPDC) and Gravity Die Casting (GDC) shops, where metal quality is paramount and production rates are typically low. Their design ensures optimal melting conditions for high-quality output.
How It Works?
The Electrical Crucible Furnace operates using a batch-type melting process, where the crucible is indirectly heated, primarily through SiC (Silicon Carbide) heaters. This method allows for precise temperature control within ±50°C, making it ideal for applications demanding strict quality standards. The PID controlled heating system, combined with a THYRISTOR drive, ensures efficient energy usage, with consumption rates ranging from 10 kWh to 11 kWh for a 500 kg holding furnace. Additionally, the easily replaceable SiC heaters facilitate quick maintenance without requiring the removal of the crucible.
