Aluminum Melting Furnace Construction Site - Xinhongji Refractory
An aluminum melting furnace is a critical asset in foundries and metal processing facilities, designed for efficiently melting aluminum scrap, ingots, or sows. Modern furnace construction prioritizes energy efficiency, operational safety, and melt quality. The construction process begins with detailed engineering design, selecting appropriate refractory materials capable of withstanding extreme temperatures (up to 1200°C) and resisting corrosive molten aluminum. The furnace structure, typically a steel shell, is lined with multiple layers of high-grade insulation and specialized refractories like alumina-silica bricks or castables to minimize heat loss. Key components are meticulously installed, including the heating system (which can be fuel-fired using natural gas or oil, or electric resistance/element-based), the robust tilting mechanism for molten metal pouring, and advanced control systems for precise temperature management and process automation. Construction emphasizes creating ...
