Tilting Melting Furnace PTS up to 1200 °C
Max temp: 1200 °C | Capacity: 30–840 kg Al | Voltage: 400 V
Tilting melting furnace for aluminium and aluminium alloys up to 1200 °C
Need to melt aluminium efficiently and pour it safely into a transport ladle, holding furnace or casting process?
The PTS tilting melting furnace up to 1200 °C is designed for foundries that require melting of aluminium alloys, controlled pouring and safe transfer of molten metal.
- You need to melt aluminium or aluminium alloys
- You want to transfer molten metal into a transport ladle or holding furnace
- You require controlled pouring of molten aluminium
- You need a furnace with hydraulic tilting
- You want to reduce manual handling of molten metal
- You need a melting furnace for foundry production
Key features:
- Maximum furnace chamber temperature 1200 °C
- Recommended crucible operating range 650–1000 °C
- Hydraulic furnace tilting
- Electric resistance heating
- Melting of aluminium and aluminium alloys
- Controlled transfer of molten aluminium
- Available capacities from approx. 30 to 840 kg Al
Typical applications
- Melting of aluminium and aluminium alloys
- Transfer of molten aluminium to transport ladles
- Feeding holding furnaces
- Preparation of melt for casting operations
- Batch aluminium melting processes
- Foundry production lines
Typical industries
- Aluminium foundries
- Automotive casting suppliers
- Non-ferrous metal processing plants
- Pressure die-casting operations
- Gravity casting foundries
- Mechanical engineering
- Metal component manufacturers
Main benefits
- Controlled pouring of molten aluminium
- Reduced manual handling during metal transfer
- Suitable for aluminium melting and foundry production
- Hydraulic tilting system for easier pouring
- Wide capacity range for different production needs
If tilting is not required, consider the PT Mk.II melting furnace. For gas-fired tilting melting, consider the PTSP gas-fired tilting melting furnace.
Optional accessories available at additional cost
- Charge thermocouple with protective tube
- Thermocouple in the wall of the crucible (not possible for PTS 30/12, PTS 60/12, PTS 110/12)
- Heating spirals made from Kanthal APM (we recommend these for temperatures above 1100 °C)
- Alsint tubes (we recommend these for temperatures above 1100 °C)
- Calibration of the controller’s measuring input
- System to check for cracks in crucible
