Georg Fischer orders Ecomelt melting furnace from Hertwich Engineering

Georg Fischer from Altenmarkt, Austria, has placed an order with Hertwich Engineering, a company of SMS group www.sms-group.com, for a multi-chamber melting furnace type HE-Ecomelt-PS70 for melting and holding aluminum with a production capacity of up to 90 tons per day. The new multi-chamber melting furnace operates with scrap preheating and uses the immersion melting process, thereby reducing the metal loss to less than 0.5 percent. It is particularly suitable for melting ingots and thin-walled revert scrap – even with adhering coolants and lubricants from machining. The multi-chamber melting furnace is characterized by high metal yield, low energy consumption and reduced emissions.
