New holding and treatment furnace from Striko

17/05/2012

The StrikoWestofen Group was able to expand its activities in the field of aluminum recycling even in a challenging economic environment. To meet the demands of aluminum recycling, the new range of holding and alloy furnaces of the H(R) - T type is now being added. These units have a holding capacity of 8,000 to 20,000 kg of aluminum alloy without a melting shaft. Because of its modular design, the H(R) - T is available with or without a melting ramp.

This type of system is used for holding aluminum alloys which have been melted in separate large melting units or rotary drum furnaces and for composition adjustment of alloys and controlled casting of liquid metal in launder systems or continuous casting machines.


The first melting and casting unit has been developed for a customer in Turkey in partnership with KMF Maschinenfabriken of Villach/Austria. Other projects are currently in preparation. One of the product divisions of KMF - Maschinenfabriken manufactures rotary drum furnaces which feature a melting procedure with a low salt and oxide content. Low temperature carbonization gases released from the melting of contaminated materials are subsequently burnt directly in the rotary drum furnace. The continually monitored furnace atmosphere guarantees the highest possible yield. Recycling material such as aluminum scrap, aluminum chips and dross is melted in a rotary drum furnace in an environmentally-friendly and energy-efficient way. The liquid aluminum is fed via a launder system to the HR - T 10,000/500 holding/alloy furnace supplied by StrikoWestofen, in order to carry out possible analysis corrections and to store the metal.
