The holding furnace balances molten copper temperature and flow fluctuations between the melting furnace and casting equipment. This helps the casting package or casting machine receive stable and high-quality molten copper.
The furnace chamber temperature is measured online by thermocouple, making it easier for operators to monitor and control daily heating and casting temperature. PLC/HMI control can be configured according to project requirements.
The steel furnace body, refractory lining and insulation structure help reduce heat loss during molten copper holding. Stable insulation supports lower energy consumption and more consistent process conditions.
The documented furnace uses silicon nitride bonded silicon carbide brick for the furnace lining and corundum refractory material for the furnace door lining. This structure is suitable for long-term high-temperature molten copper service.
The inlet and outlet are positioned at the rotation center of the furnace body, while hydraulic cylinders support fine tilting and continuous tilting. This design helps control molten copper flow to the casting process.
