Make a serious cut in your energy bill with an electric immersion holding furnace. Immersion technology can cut your electric consumption by a third compared to standard energy efficient electric holding furnaces. It provides for more uniform temperature throughout the bath which improves metal quality and reduces propensity to sludge. Recovery is much faster. No heat applied above the bath so you get virtually no oxide build-up at the bath line and the surface remains undisturbed. LindbergMPH's electric immersion aluminum holding furnace reduces the surface temperature of the steel shell to approximately 30 F over ambient with 1200 F metal. The design combines components from the extremely efficient LindbergMPH Holimesy board linings with immersion heating elements mounted through the side wall. This heating arrangement allows more efficient direct heat transfer to the metal while still allowing access through the top for maintenance and cleaning.BenefitsLower energy consumption Better temperature controlProvides maximum heat retentionProvides for more uniform temperature throughout the bath improving metal quality and reducing propensity to sludge. Recovery is much fasterStays Cleaner: Since there is no heat applied above the bath, there is virtually no oxide build-up at the bath line and the surface remains undisturbedMore comfortable to the operator when cleaningFeaturesThree (3) chambers fill, heating, and dip-outInert gas portDrain tapOver temperature protectionSialon element protection tubes provide high strength, excellent heat transfer, and long life SCR controlledNEMA 12 control panelEfficient lining construction: Available with either a microporous castable or calcium silicate board hot face lining for maximum heat retentionTo view our entire line of Non-Ferrous Melting Equipment, click here.

Melt rates up to 5, 000lbs.hr.Customized design to meet requirements including metal treatmentHolding capacity as low as 3:1 bath to melt rate ratio

The Holimesy low-energy electric holding furnace is the most energy-efficient aluminum holding furnace available and can reduce energy costs up to 80-90%. The totally enclosed design leads to uniform operating temperatures and virtually eliminates oxide formation and sludge. This minimizes maintenance and maintains your metal quality. The heated launder system shares the same energy efficient special ceramic plate board construction, which has the highest insulating value available, and is non-wetting to aluminum. The result is nearly perfect temperature control at the casting station without the hazards due to manual transfer. A much safer working environment.

Refractory linings are also pre-installed whenever possible

Power consumption is as low as 0.19 kWlb. of aluminum melted and melt loss is less than 1% with good metal handling practices and a clean furnace. Metal quality is excellent since there are no products of combustion which can be absorbed into the metal. Quiet, clean electric heat results in relatively comfortable working environment.Power consumption is as low as 0.19 kWlb. of aluminum melted and melt loss is less than 1% with good metal handling practices and a clean furnace.
