Channel pouring furnace

For profitable, high quality castings in grey iron foundries

More Efficiency with the
Channel Poruing Furnace

The base of the pouring furnace is a refractory lined vessel with siphons for refilling and pouring, which can be arranged depending on the space available. The water-cooled inductor is flanged vertically to the bottom of the furnace. As soon as nitrogen or dry compressed air squeezed into the space above the metal, the liquid iron is pumped into the pour box. 

During pouring, a bath level laser regulates the pressure in the furnace so that the molten iron in the pour box remains at the same level. The pouring furnace can be moved in one or two directions and can thus be positioned exactly over the pouring cup or moved away from the mold line. The furnace can be refilled without any interruptions of the pouring process. Tailormade concepts with integrated platforms ensure high ease of use and maintenance. 

  • Capacity 5.200 – 13.800 kg 
  • Power 200 – 320kW 
  • Overheating up to 50K/min 

 

Perfect solution for you?

For a profitable and efficient use of the channel pouring furnace the use case, individual requirements and production properties play a decisive role. The criteria listed below provide a rough guide to check if this system is the optimal solution for you. Please note that these criteria are weighted on a case-by-case basis.

Reduction of magnesium and thermal losses 100%
Need of constant pouring temperature 85%
need of productivity increase 80%
High degree of automation required 100%
Irregular iron demand or supply 75%

Upgrade to automation

Each of our products is designed to be equipped with software, lasers and cameras on request. Upgrade the system to speed up pouring process and work steps to a large extent with less effort at the same time. When talking about automatic pouring, we distinguish between three levels that build on one another. 

The channel pouring furnace ladle can be easily upgraded at any time in order to start with a simple manual system and convert it to a sophisticated, automated system. By adding special features, it may be possible to significantly increase the production output while reducing the manpower to do it. 

semi-automatic pouring

A solid and constant pouring process for your production.

automatic pouring

Pouring upgrade leading to a fast, independent and accurate process.

intelligent pouring

The high-end solution for an intelligent and a self-learning production.
