Recuperative Gas-Fired Tilting Melting Furnace PTSPR up to 1200 °C
Max temp: 1200 °C | Capacity: 285–1050 kg Al | Fuel: Gas
Recuperative gas-fired tilting melting furnace for aluminium alloys up to 1200 °C
Need to melt aluminium alloys, pour safely and reduce gas consumption at the same time?
The PTSPR recuperative gas-fired tilting melting furnace up to 1200 °C is designed for melting aluminium and aluminium alloys. It combines a tilting design for controlled pouring with a recuperation system that helps reduce gas consumption.
- You melt aluminium or aluminium alloys regularly
- You need easier pouring of molten metal
- You want lower gas consumption than with a standard gas furnace
- You need high melting output for foundry operation
- You want to transfer melt into a ladle or transport holding furnace
- You need a tilting furnace with a recuperation system
Key features:
- Maximum temperature 1200 °C
- Long-term operation up to 1100 °C
- Recommended crucible operating range 650–1000 °C
- Capacity from approx. 285 to 1050 kg Al
- Crucible volume from approx. 130 to 400 L
- Melting output up to approx. 630 kg Al/hour at 700 °C
- Energy consumption for melting approx. 0.7–0.8 kWh / 1 kg Al
- Recuperation system for reduced gas consumption
- Tilting design for controlled pouring
Typical applications
- Melting of aluminium and aluminium alloys
- Foundry melting processes
- Pouring into a transport ladle
- Transfer of molten metal into a transport holding furnace
- Gas melting with reduced fuel consumption
Typical industries
- Aluminium foundries
- Non-ferrous metal foundries
- Automotive industry
- Metal casting production
- Mechanical engineering
- Foundry production with regular aluminium melting
Main benefits
- Controlled pouring of molten metal
- Reduced gas consumption thanks to recuperation
- High melting output for foundry production
- Efficient melting of aluminium alloys
- Quick crucible replacement
If tilting is not required, consider the PTPR recuperative gas-fired melting furnace. For a gas-fired tilting furnace without recuperation, consider the PTSP gas-fired tilting melting furnace.
Optional accessories available at additional cost
- Charging thermocouple with protective tube
- Thermocouple in the crucible wall (only furnaces for temperatures of 1,200 °C)
- Measuring loop calibration (thermocouple + controller)
- Connection between the furnace and switchboard within a metal hose with a metal sheath. Always necessary for lengths over 5 m
- System to check for cracks in the crucible
