Product Details
The “Outperformer” Aluminum Melting Furnace can reduce energy consumption by over 50% for melting and holding compared to conventional furnace designs. The use of a curved clamshell-type door and drop arch force hot gasses over the charge area, providing faster melting with less bath capacity. This greatly reduces your cost to both melt and hold. Additionally, it reduces metal loss and heat around the furnace.
