Melting Efficiency of Tilting Crucible Furnace
The melting efficiency of a tilting crucible furnace depends on many factors, including the heating power of the equipment, furnace size, charging volume, lining material, slag handling method, operating temperature, holding time, etc.
Generally speaking, the tilting crucible furnace has higher heating power, moderate furnace size, and larger charging capacity, so it has higher melting efficiency. In addition, the furnace lining material of this equipment is usually made of high alumina bricks or hard high alumina-shaped bricks, which can effectively protect the furnace and improve melting efficiency.
In addition, the slag treatment method also affects the melting efficiency. If reasonable slag treatment methods are adopted, such as returning the slag to the crucible or filtering it through a filter and reusing it, the metal utilization rate and melting efficiency can be improved.
Summary
Overall, the tilting crucible furnace is an efficient, safe, and simple device suitable for many fields.
