Scrap and ingot charging machines
)
Thermcon provides a wide range of charging machines for ingots and scrap. Charging machines contribute to the productivity and safety of an aluminium melting operation.
Charging time for a single batch is less than three minutes and the input material can be brought far into the furnace so that as much as possible can be charged, early in the melting cycle.
The charging machines are custom designed to match either existing furnaces or new furnaces and can have very wide (7 meters+) and long containers to match virtually all furnace configurations. Wide containers have the advantage that extrusion scrap can be charged without the need for cutting. The containers can be either mounted fixed onto the machine or be exchangeable and be part of the scrap collection system in a plant, minimizing scrap handling.
Movements of the machine are all hydraulic via the hydraulic power pack mounted on the machines. Load cells and communication with a casthouse SCADA system can be included in the controls of the machine.
