The following is a detailed description of how the wide area plasma product can improve aluminum processing efficiencies.
The addition of the environmentally acceptable and quiet plasma device to any existing furnaces will greatly enhance efficiency and dross loss in that furnace. There is no need for any nitrogen cover.
Save cost of goods, improve energy efficiency and improve the environment.

Plasma Enhanced Aluminum Furnaces
In addition to fitting the plasma device to any existing melting or holding furnaces, new low-footprint melters can be fabricated. As an example, a new type of aluminum melting operation is described below.
Several of the same energy, dross and environment benefits may also be realized in any existing furnace (i.e. a hybrid operation) when a plasma generating product is attached to it.
Typical Energy, Dross and Melting Rate Values For a Plasma Aluminum Melting Furnace Powered with a Plasma Device ..... (go to detailed comparison table).
Please contact to obtain licenses for:
(1) plasma devices for retrofitting your existing melter or
(2) for constructing a new melter of your choice.
ADVANTAGES

Typical melter shown in sprue melting configuration. Three 6kW plasma devices are shown in the picture. With these devices a very small foot print continuous furnace can be built as shown or the units may be added to an existing holding furnaces or launder to improve the dross-loss and simultaneously achieve higher production rates. |
