StrikoMelter® - How to load the melting furnace?

In this video we will show you how to load the StrikoMelter in the most energy-efficient way and thereby save a signficant amount of energy. Make sure that the shaft is always full and that energy can be optimally used. Energy savings up to 10% are possible.

StrikoMelter® - How to clean the melting furnace?

In this video we will show you how to clean the melting furnace StrikoMelter after free melting. For your own safety, please wear adequate protective clothing. Make your world better with technologies and services from StrikoWestofen!

StrikoMelter® - How to extract metal via the tapping valve?

In this video we will show you how to extract liquid metal via the tapping valve. With stationary furnaces, metal extraction occurs through a tapping valve at the deepest bath position. Before operating the valve, please ensure that a sufficiently large and preheated ladle is available to receive the metal. You should also always have an emergency stopper rod on hand. Safety first!
