Electric Immersion Aluminum Holding Furnace
Product Details
Make a serious cut in your energy bill with an electric immersion holding furnace. Immersion technology can cut your electric consumption significantly compared to standard energy efficient electric holding furnaces. It provides for a more uniform temperature throughout the bath which improves metal quality and reduces propensity to sludge. Recovery is much faster. No heat is applied above the bath so you get virtually no oxide build-up at the bath line, and the surface remains undisturbed.
Lindberg/MPH’s electric immersion aluminum holding furnace reduces the surface temperature of the steel shell to approximately 30° F over ambient with 1200° F metal. The design combines components from the extremely efficient Lindberg/MPH Holimesy® board linings with immersion heating elements mounted through the side wall. This heating arrangement allows more efficient direct heat transfer to the metal while still allowing access through the top for maintenance and cleaning.
