The TF Serie: Tilting Furnaces for melting and casting large quantities into ingots or shell moulds

These machines are designed...

  • for the melting of large quantities, for example in the recycling sector
  • for the casting of large parts into shellcasting moulds


 

TF 1200 - 6000 – tried and tested in foundries and precious metal merchants across the world:

Our tilting furnaces are mainly used in two areas:

1. for melting down large quantities of metal such as antique gold or manufacturing residues like casting waste, scrap or swarf. 30 kW output and low-frequency tuning means fast smelting – 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 TF 12000 - 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: 60 kW!

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 enables the tilting process to be controlled easily and sensitively, as with a pivot lever or wheel.

General advantages of open systems

They are ideal for all melting processes with an extensive formation of smoke and oxides, which should be absorbed. As no sealing rod and no covering is limiting the available space, also large parts may be molten without any problems

Three different tilting mechanism:

...tilting by wheel (picture shows casting into a shell mould with a TF 3000 C)

...tilting by lever (picture shows bar casting with a TF 4000)

...or tilting directed by a joystick (TF 12000)
