Capacity and Sizes Optional Equipment

 

Heavy steel shell provides maximum furnace rigidity and strength for long lining life and the highest operating efficiency. It also serves to deaden furnace noise.

Inductotherm's Steel Shell Furnaces are available in capacities from 350 kg to 100 T.

Heavy Steel Shell Furnaces utilize Inductotherm's unique side lead arrangement which keeps the flexible leads draped well away from the shell - not under the spout where they could come in contact with molten metal. As a result our leads are significantly safer and easier to maintain. And their service life is extended because there is less movement and flexing during tilting.

Hydraulically operated Steel Shell furnaces are provided with stanchions that protect the cylinders and hydraulic piping. Steel Shell furnaces minimize that loss with tight-fitting, insulated covers. Inductotherm power systems quickly raise them and swing them aside for slagging and charging.

An optional fume collection ring, specially engineered to remove noxious smoke and fumes during the melting cycle, can be built into our steel shell Furnaces, significantly enhanced working conditions. Also, our hydraulically powered push-out mechanism distributes pressure uniformly up the side walls of the refractory. The complete lining of a Steel Shell furnaces can be removed almost entirely in one piece using very low ejection pressure.
