Rotary Melting Furnaces for Iron foundries:

Efficient thermal transfer of heat as the furnace rotates, together with efficient recovery of heat from the waste gases, or Oxyfuel Burner systems lead to Fast melting rates and High metal temperature if required in excess of 1550 deg C which is so important for the production of SG and other high duty alloys. Capacities from 500-kg to 20-Tonnes.

Rotary Furnace Charging Systems:

Monometer Rotary Furnaces may be charged in the horizontal position by means of a rotary scoop attached to a fork lift truck. For larger furnaces a horizontal Vibratory Charger is usually provided. In the case of hydraulic tilting furnaces, the body is inclined to an angle of 45 deg, and the charge is emptied from an electric Hoist Bucket into a hopper unit.

Rotary Furnaces for Brass, Copper, Gunmetal and Bronze melting:

Monometer has manufactured these non-ferrous melting furnaces in capacities from 500-kg to 50-Tonnes Copper. Typical melting times for a 10-Tonne Gunmetal Rotary would be 2 hours ready for refining at 1250^o C - 1350^o C with a fuel consumption of 300 liters / hour maximum. A further period may be required for refining to the desired composition. Installations usually include an inclined ingot casting machine which receives molten metal directly from the furnace. Typical size is 15 - 20-kg ingots.

Rotary Furnaces for Aluminium Alloy Melting:

Low Grade aluminium baled scrap are melted to produce specification secondary ingot. The furnace can be used for melting all types of scrap and by using a salt flux obtain maximum recovery from Swarf grindings and metallics. Oxyfuel burner systems typically enable an 18-Tonne furnace to be brought to pouring temperature in under four hours.

Hot Metal Receivers for the Iron Foundry:

For holding molten Iron at high temperatures. These heated receivers work in conjunction with cupolas ensuring hot metal is available to the foundry at all times. In many cases, mechanized foundry output increases by approximately 25% - 30% with very low throughput costs.

Rotary Superheating Receivers:

Provide a very economical and reliable method for Duplexing all Cast Iron. Unlike conventional U shaped receivers, theses rotaries enable the molten iron to be superheated rapidly ready for distribution to the foundry. A 5-Tonne unit will superheat up to 150 deg C/hour with a fuel consumption of 22 liters/tonne. 

Kettle (Pot) Furnaces with Mixer / Stirrer Unit For lead refining:

Capacities up to 50-Tonnes of lead are accepted from the primary melter. Antimony, Copper, Zinc, Iron, Bismuth and Tin may be present in the metal poured from the primary rotary furnace. Various chemical re-agents are added to the molten metal in the kettle furnace for refining, which is aided by a vigorous mechanical stirrer under push-button control.

Rotary Furnaces for lead and Tin Processing:

Monometer Short Body Rotaries are extensively used for the reclamation and refining of Scrap Lead. The very deep bath provided in this design of furnace has proved to be the most successful for large scale lead refining. Sizes up to 4.5m x 4.5m.

Reverberatory Melting Furnaces for aluminium recycling:

An economical and efficient bulk melter for aluminium alloys. The furnace melts on the dry hearth principle and incorporates the latest practise in insulating refractory which results in a very high thermal efficiency and fast melting. Fully automatic micro-processor controlled burners are a feature of these furnaces. The whole furnace is hydraulically tilted and under push-button control to give precise lip axis pouring of the molten metal. Variable speed of tilting is provided. The large hydraulically operated Charging door is ideal for bulky materials and furnace access.

Crucible melting Furnaces for aluminium alloys:

The full range is designed to meet the every need of the non-ferrous foundry from the latest type fully automatic gas fired bale out furnace, to the 5-Tonne zinc alloys bulk melter. Variable speed hydraulic tilting enables precise control of the molten metal when pouring. Various insulation and refractory materials are available for these furnaces to meet the process requirements and capital budget of each foundry.

Furnace Ancillary Equipment:

The Monocarb Powder Dispenser: is a portable self-contained unit which injects solid metallurgical particles into the bath of molten metal. This system allows re-carburisation of iron to high carbon equivalents. De-sulphurisation and re-carburisation can be carried out simultaneously. Iron oxides may be injected into steel making furnaces, and the dispenser is suitable for many non-ferrous applications.

Monometer Low Air Pressure Burners: are a simple Oil burner without complicated moving parts or valves. They provide efficient of fuel oil. Particularly suitable for cement kilns, reverberatory furnaces, crucible melting and small rotary non-ferrous furnaces. Follow this link for more details and prices

Monometer Hydraulic Transfer Ladles:
Monometer Hydraulic Transfer Ladles: are ideal for transferring molten aluminium received from bulk melting furnaces into the casting shop or holding furnace. The pouring of the bogie-mounted unit is hydraulically operated to provide a controlled and accurate pouring mechanism.
