Tenova LOI Thermprocess is a worldwide partner for innovative technologies for the metal heat treatment. Casting furnaces CF are used for alloying and holding the melt at temperature prior to the casting process. Casting furnaces CF are used for alloying and holding the melt at temperature prior to the casting process. These hydraulically tiltable furnaces allow a precise dosage of the liquid metal and its transfer from the furnace to the casting equipment on the same level. In addition to holding the melt at temperature, they also allow a direct melt treatment in the furnace: the melt can be treated with impellers or porous plugs to improve the metal purity. Design Today's casting equipment has very high demands on the uniform supply of liquid metal. Using a finely tuned furnace hydraulic system and optical measuring devices at the inlet of the casting machine, we ensure that the desired metal level in the launder is precisely maintained and that the metal smoothly flows to the casting machine under a closed oxide skin. The fully cardan suspension of the furnace make sure the cylinders being free from bending forces that could damage their gaskets. The very rigid steel structure of the furnace casing contributes to the long service life of the furnace refractory lining.
