The tilting rotary drum furnace has proven itself to be a key technology in modern aluminium recycling facilities for smelting small pieces of contaminated scrap.
Particular advantages:
• he short overall charging time and the significantly reduced need to add salt lead to increased production and make the facility more cost-effective
• Maximum yields coupled with extremely low specific energy consumption. The thermal efficiency is approximately 70 %
• Particularly suited to the use of materials with a high oxide content, such as:
• Dross
• UBC scrap
• Shavings
Design features:
• Very robust and compact build
• The geometry of the furnace drum and the tilt angle are optimally aligned with the burner flame control and the fill level
• The rotation speed can be freely adjusted via the furnace control system
• Two-part multi-functional doors with built-in burner calibration, slag retention device and flue gas extraction into the exhaust gas system. Each door panel can be adjusted individually
• The exhaust gas extraction system and the furnace doors adjust to match any possible angle of tilt on the furnace itself in order to ensure optimum flue gas extraction
• Fill weight detection by means of load cells
• Visual bearing temperature monitoring
Burner and control system features:
• State-of-the-art gas-oxygen burners
• Optimised temperature monitoring
• Reduction of the oxidation atmosphere by means of continuous temperature control
• Manual or automatic output control
