INDUTHERM Tilting Furnace TF Series
Tilting Furnaces (TF) for melting and casting large quantities into ingots or shell moulds
The machines are designed:
- for the melting of large quantities, for example in the recycling sector
- for the casting of large parts into shell casting moulds
TF1200 - 6000 - tried and tested in foundaries and precious metal merchants across the world:
1. for melting down large quantities of metal such as antigue gold or manufacturing residues like casting waste, scrap or swarf. 30kW output and low frequency tuning means fast melting - even for large volumes - and excellent through mixing.
2. for casting large, heavy components e.g. after slip casting
For pouring off, the inductor / crucible unit is tilted forwards, either using a pivot lever or wheel, optionally with reduction. The wheel is recommended out of preference, for safety reasons, as the operator must move away from the splash zone when pouring off.
The new TF12000 - the giant among tilting furnaces
The 12.000 ccm usable volume of the crucible gives the TF 12000 an enormous capacity. The output of the newly developed generator is of equally ample dimensions: 60kW!
The generator is fitted with a 32-bit micro controller and is controlled via a console with an LCD display with full text readout. 100 programs enable set process parameters to be stored.
Because of the potentially large weight, the inductor / crucible unit is no longer tilted manually, it uses a motor drive with a stable shaft. Use of a joystick enable the tilting process to be controlled easily and sensitively, as with a pivot lever or wheel.
