Recycling - Aluminum Chip Melting System
Coriolis® Chip Melting and Circulation System in an Aluminum Reverb Furnace
The Coriolis® Chip Melting System is a continuous scrap submergence system with the added benefit of forced circulation. The attached pump generates a strong vortex, coating and submerging aluminum chips in the metal bath, allowing for easily automated furnace filling. When transfers are necessary, use a Chameleon® series pump to go from melt to ingot with the press of a button!
Vortex Melting Features, Benefits, & Capabilities
Patented dual-volute design maximizes melt rate
Proper balance between melt and circulation flow
Standard and customized solution for every size of reverberatory furnace
Only available from High Temperature Systems
Dual Discharge Streams Drive Submergence Vortex and Circulation
The patented dual volute technology provides independent streams of molten aluminum for melting and circulation. As shown, the pump provides metal discharge from both the foot of the pump and the riser pipe. The diagram on the left shows the two streams of metal interacting simultaneously with the Coriolis® block. The upper stream from the riser drives the vortex mixer, while the flow from the lower outlet draws metal from the base of the vortex and provides a steady stream for furnace circulation.
Self-aligning Pump Mount Streamlines Pump Maintenance
Besides the dual-volute pump, there are several patents covering the melt system with respect to the vortex bowl design that enables balanced melting and circulation. The Coriolis® Chip Melting System also includes a self-aligning pump mount that ensures that the pump aligns with the ceramic vortex bowl after being serviced. The mount takes the guesswork out of routine maintenance and reduces downtime.
