Our wide range of furnaces for the foundry can be extended individually for your application processes by our extensive range of accessories. For detailed information or for special requests, please contact us. With our long term experience and one of the largest engineering departments in the furnace industry, we would be very pleased to work with you and find a solution tailored to your needs.

 

Crucible Pulling Feature with Swinging Collar Plate

In standard version, Nabertherm crucible furnaces are built with a collar plate fixed to the furnace. The bale-out is done manually or by robot. As additional equipment, the smaller models up to T 40/.. can be equipped with a swinging collar plate which allows crucible pulling. To pull the crucible, the collar plate is swung to the side, so that the operator has free access to the crucible from above.

 

Charging Funnel for Ingots

The charging funnel made of stainless steel 1.4301 (304) makes charging the furnace much easier, especially when melting ingots. Long ingots can also be charged extending over the crucible edge, and then sink, guided, into the crucible. Furnaces which are designed with a control system with night-time reduction can, for example, be filled in the evening and, on the following morning a complete melt is ready for use. The funnel is suitable for all melting furnaces, electrically heated or gas- with a side exhaust gas discharge.

 

Crucible Breakage Alarm Device for T(B)../12 Models

Nabertherm melting furnaces are equipped with emergency outlet. In case of crucible breakage or leaking melt the crucible breakage alarm device will provide for a warning as soon as fluid metal emerges from the emergency outlet. The warning signal of the alarm is both optical, with an signal lamp, and acoustic, using a horn. As additional equipment it is possible to send an alarm as SMS-message to one or more mobile phones. One or more furnaces can be connected to the messaging device in parallel.

 

Collecting Pan under the Emergency Outlet

The bale-out furnaces are standardly euipped with an inclined bottom and an emergency outlet for liquid metal in case of a crucible breakage. To collect the liquid melt in case of an emergancy the models T…, TB…, K… and KB… can be delivered with a small base frame and a collecting pan. The pan can safely receive full crucible volume and is equipped with a pull-out handle. Unncecessary foundation works can be avoided.

 

Work Platform for Loading for Bale-Out and Tilting Furnaces

For bale-out and tilting furnaces, customized work platforms for charging and servicing can be provided as additional equipment. This feature is used to simplify access to the furnace, particularly for larger furnace models. The operator has access to the top of the furnace to charge ingots or clean the melt.

 

Pneumatic Lid Opener for Bale-Out Furnaces for Holding

The crucible furnaces of the T .. product lines can be equipped with an optional pneumatic lid opener. The pneumatic lid opener is activated by depressing a foot pedal. Optionally, the pneumatic lid opener can be controlled and triggered by an external signal to fully automate the ladling process. The furnace lid swings to the side and the operator has free access to the crucible. This practical feature increases energy efficiency because the furnace is only open during charging and bale-out. Over 50 % energy savings can be realized with the pneumatic lid opener vs. an always open furnace (see tables for energy consumption for each model of melting furnace).
