• Key to melting aluminum cleanly.
• Key to high productivity in the aluminum industry.
• Dross values less than 0.5%.
• Extremely small foot-prints.
• Quiet (not like conventional plasmas which are very noisy). Improved worker acceptance.
• Close to 100% power transfer efficiency of plasma device- again compare with low efficiency conventional plasmas.
• REduce or eliminate nitrogen,argon or fluxes.
• Also see the FAQ's (based on customers' questions)

If employed well Energy efficiencies of 0.2kWhr/lb with no emissions can be expected in addition to low dross.  However low dross is the primary benefit.  Typical Energy, Dross and Melting Rate Values For a Plasma Aluminum Melting Furnace Powered with a Plasma Device .....

The units may be added to an existing holding furnaces or launder systems, to improve the dross-loss and simultaneously achieve higher production rates.

Three 6kW plasma devices are shown in the picture attached to a furnace.  Normally, one unit, can produce more than 10**20 ions every minute depending on the power. 

For dross reduction choose one unit to start and add if more are needed.  Easy to attach to a flat surface.
