ADF | Aluminium Dosing Furnace
This furnace is designed as tank holding furnace. Dosing system consists mainly of vacuum-melting container, evacuate device for sucking in melt as well as a special closing mechanism at the sucking in position. Vacuum-melting tank is made of ceramic with the outstanding properties: not moistenable, thermal shock resistant and strong. Transfer of container from holding furnace to die casting cell is driven by a corresponding mechanical device.
The system shows following advantages:
- Sucking in of melt below bath level – no oxide
- Filling of container by sucking in melt – degassing
- Transfer of melt without air admission – no oxide
- Transfer of melt into a closed ceramic container– low drop of temperature
- High dosing precision through integrated, exact quantity measurement
