Double-Chamber Side-Well Aluminum Melting Furnace

Primary Applications

The double-chamber side-well furnace is used to remelt aluminum chips, used beverage cans, radiator scrap and other light-gauge scrap. Its two chambers melt material in hot aluminum with less direct flame contact; current configuration data specifies a recovery-rate improvement of more than 2%–3% over conventional furnace layouts and throughput of 3–10 tonnes per hour for chips or cans.

Overseas Project Support

For export projects, Lanyu can configure the double-chamber side-well aluminum melting furnace around local fuel or power conditions, plant layout, automation level, operator workflow and environmental requirements. The furnace is most useful when the buyer needs to process light scrap with less direct flame contact and higher metal recovery.

Technical Specifications

Basic Components

1. Furnace Body: Constructed using structural steel (double I-beam or I-shaped steel), ensuring high strength and stability.
2. Insulation and Lining: Utilizes high-quality insulation and refractory materials to ensure efficient heat retention and long service life.
3. Partition Walls and Roof: Partition walls to minimize heat loss, with roof options including hanging bricks, castable arches, or masonry structures to meet different requirements.
4. Double-Rising Door Mechanism and Lifting Devices: Optimizes the operating process for enhanced safety and efficiency.
5. Melting System: Includes side wells, aluminum liquid pumps, charging systems, and combustion systems for efficient melting.

Structural Design Variability

• Furnace Types:
  • Double I-beam furnace body provides greater load capacity, while I-shaped steel furnace body offers a more economical solution.
• Roof Design: Options include hanging brick arches, castable arches, or masonry arches to satisfy diverse insulation and structural needs.
• Melt Pool Structure: Available in masonry, semi-castable, or fully castable configurations, affecting service life and maintenance costs.

Flexible Heating Energy Selection

• Supports multiple fuel types: natural gas, heavy oil, diesel, bio-oil, coal, and coke oven gas, adapting to regional energy supplies and environmental standards.

Diverse Design Configurations

• Single Furnace (Primary Furnace): Suitable for small-scale production or simple process flows, offering ease of operation.
• Duplex Furnace (Two-Level Furnace): Uses high- and low-level furnace chambers to increase melting efficiency and throughput for continuous production.
