PROMEOS® ALUMINUM CHIPS MELTING FURNACE

MATERIAL CONSUMPTION

Every aluminum chip is valuable—but day after day, they are lost. Lightweight chips burn up before they melt. What remains is sold and is lost to your process.

SO FAR

promeos® has developed a solution for melting aluminum chips that allows you to remelt aluminum chips directly on your own production line, thereby turning what would otherwise be waste into pure value.

Cost Categories: Reduce costs related to
, transportation, external recycling, and metal buyback

*Example values based on 8 hours of operation. Actual results may vary depending on the material, equipment, energy price, and operating conditions.

THE SOLUTION

The system is based on a conventional tilting crucible furnace, which is enhanced with the following features:

01

Specially designed
charging hatch with chip feed tube

02

Integrated agitators to mix chips with molten aluminum and prevent oxidation

03

Also available as a retrofit kit for existing crucible furnaces
