Capacities and Dimensions

This concept in midsize furnaces has features usually found only in larger steel shell designs. The Dura-Line furnace body is constructed of heavy, cast refractory top and bottom with stainless steel reinforcing, providing a strong and rigid support for the heavy-duty, copper power coil and the working lining.

The full-section cast metal side plates complete the structure and provide mounting support for the tilting trunnion and hydraulic tilting cylinders. The same construction is used for either hoist or hydraulic tilting furnaces, providing single-trunnion action and "nose-tilt" pouring.

Patented toroidal magnetic shunts are available as an option. These shunts increase electrical efficiency by redirecting the electromagnetic field into the melt. Also, along with the metal plate of the furnace shell, they provide a double shield to reduce electromagnetic emissions beyond the furnace structure.

For front exiting leads, an aluminum splash plate across the front of the furnace provides full protection to the coil during melting and pouring, and is easily removed to connect the water-cooled leads and for ease of maintenance. Hydraulically operated furnaces are provided with stanchions that protect the cylinders and hydraulic piping. The control valves can be mounted on the stanchion or on a separate pedestal, and provide smooth, controlled pouring for the operator.

Furnaces may be used with rammed or vibrated refractory linings of silica, alumina, or magnesia, or with preformed crucibles. The selection of proper refractories will depend on the alloys to be melted, furnace size, slags, and other factors which your lnductotherm sales engineer will discuss with you.
