Lindberg/MPH announced the shipment of an electrically heated hydraulically-tilting aluminum melting furnace to the sand casting industry. The furnace will be used as a central breakdown for transfer via bull ladle.

The resistance melting furnace has a melt rate of 50 lbs. per hour and can accommodate a crucible with a holding capacity of approximately 150 lbs. The furnace utilizes low voltage heating elements which provide a long service life.

The furnace shell is ruggedly reinforced with steel members and is lined with insulating firebrick and backup board resulting in a low exterior shell temperature. An easy to use hydraulic tilting mechanism is also included.

Unique features of this Lindberg/MPH aluminum melting furnace include:

• Rugged steel plate furnace construction

• Low voltage rod overbend heating elements

• Insulating firebrick and backup board

• Hydraulic tilting mechanism

• Stand alone control panel

• Process Timer

• Step down element transformer
