Modernise your equipment:
Automatic shaft cover/hot gas baffle
- Shortens free-melting process by about 20 %
- Saves approx. 15 % of the energy in melting–free operation
- Automatically closes during weekend and holding operation, thus making further energy savings of up to 5 %
Shaft filling level laser
- Optimizes the charging cycles and the filling level in the melting shaft with the purpose of keeping the shaft optimally filled at all times for optimum heat recovery
- Increases the efficiency of the ETAMAX® in melting operation by up to 10 %
- Automates the charging cycles and increases the operating safety
Refractory relining
- Reduces the consumption of natural gas (m³/t Al) up to 40 %
- Optimizes the maximum melting performance
- Melting capacity available on lease during refractory relining (gas-fired crucible furnaces)
Triple bath filling level monitoring
- Increases operational safety
- Additionally monitors furnace filling level and safeguards against overfilling
Automatic tapping valve
- Automates metal withdrawal
- Improves occupational health and safety
- Improves operational and process reliability
Overhaul and replacement of charging devices
- Increases the operational safety and efficiency of the melting furnace
- Optimization of the charging cycle and improvement of the melting capacity
SMS fault message module
- Automatic forwarding of operating messages and fault messages to mobile devices
- Improvement of the operating and process reliability
Steel construction, burner system and replace the control cabinet
- Reduces the energy consumption according to the state of the art
- Improves the operational reliability and process stability
- Product innovations can be implemented in existing melting systems (including the new option of near-stoichiometric combustion)
Weighing and transfer of energy consumption data
- Measures and records energy consumption and process data for the assessment and optimization of current operational status
- Optimizes the consumption values during the production process
Upgrade your melting furnace without full replacement
Extend the life of your StrikoMelter with retrofit solutions that improve energy efficiency, reduce metal loss, and boost overall performance. From burner upgrades to automation enhancements, our modernization packages deliver measurable results with minimal disruption.
— Production Manager, Czech OEM ManufacturerA Czech OEM manufacturer was able to significantly reduce its energy consumption by retrofitting the latest shaft-level lasers on four StrikoMelter furnaces (built in 1999) and installing the new FF delivery system.
As a result, the company achieved annual savings of EUR 110,000 in total when operating the furnaces. The one-time investment of EUR 40,000 therefore paid for itself within just four months.
“The precise filling of the shaft enabled by the integrated laser scanner has increased the heat recovery of the ETAmax system in the StrikoMelter to such an extent that we were able to reduce our gas consumption by around ten percent. Without the laser, gas consumption is 63.3 cubic metres per tonne of aluminium. With the new shaft-level control, consumption immediately dropped to 57.1 cubic metres per tonne.”
