Lindberg/MPH refurbishes aluminum immersion holding furnace
Lindberg/MPH has refurbished an electric immersion aluminum holding furnace for an automotive parts manufacturer, increasing the furnace’s aluminum holding capacity.
The furnace is used to maintain aluminum at the required temperature for die casting. Aftermarket services and maintenance are critical in minimizing downtime, maximizing production, and extending equipment life.
The refurbishment of the industrial furnace included adding a fill well and hinged insulating fill well cover with remote open-and-close operation. The existing steel shell was modified to accept a side-mounted fill well, and the existing refractory lining was replaced.
A cast fill well was added to the furnace shell using a castable virtually inert to aluminum oxide formation. The new hinged fill well cover uses air-over-oil operation. The holding furnace uses Lindberg/MPH patented board lining and high-efficiency immersion tubes/heaters.
