Wet Bath Reverberatory Furnace

Reverberatory furnaces are available from Lindberg/MPH in three distinct groups: wet bath, dry hearth, and stack or tower. The "Outperformer" is one of our most popular wet bath reverbs.

The "Outperformer" Aluminum Melting Furnace can reduce energy consumption by 55% for melting and 50% for holding compared to conventional furnace designs. It can melt aluminum for as little as 1,127 BTU/lb. and hold aluminum for as little as 16 BTU/lb. without sacrificing quality. To meet the needs of small and large producers, the "Outperformer" is available in 2,400-lb to over 100,00-lb capacities.

Energy-saving options include flue dampers, pressure pour pumps, launder connections, and charging mechanisms.

Available in sizes from 2,400 to over 100,000 lbs. capacity.

Features

• Low heat environment, due to the completely enclosed furnace and careful selection of lining components
• Sidewalls can be easily accessed by opening the charge well covers and through the rear manual access door
• High-alumina refractories, non-wettable to aluminum in the metal contact areas
• Wide turndown, high thermal release reduces burners flame impingement on surface metal; combustion products channeled across the charge well surface
• Furnaces are pre-piped and pre-wired in the factory prior to shipment; refractory linings are also pre-installed wherever possible
• Shell construction is carbon steel plate welded 100% inside and out
• Upward-rotating covers are constructed of 100% welded steel plate and lined with high quality refractories
  

Key Benefits

• Greater operator comfort and productivity
• Easy cleaning of sidewalls
• Long refractory life
• Minimal melt loss, reduced possibility of oxidation
• Fast melting in proportion to the holding volume
• Relatively quick and easy installation
• Optimal strength is ensured
• Easy and complete access to the furnace chamber for charging and cleaning
