Best ROI for Your Furnace
In the world of aluminum production, achieving optimal energy efficiency and minimizing metal loss isn’t just about cost savings; it’s a critical step towards a greener future. If you’re looking to improve your bottom line and your environmental impact, optimizing your reverberatory aluminum melting furnace is a key strategy. Let’s explore how to maximize your ROI while supporting a more sustainable aluminum industry.
Expertly Optimized Solutions
High Temperature Systems, Inc. partners with melt department managers, supervisors, and engineers to craft complete solutions and solve problems that are beyond the reach of industry off-the-shelf solutions. Drawing from our standard product lines and more than 50 years of experience, we can craft solutions unique to your applications and furnace implementations. These solutions encompass aluminum, zinc and lead operations from die casting to galvanizing.
Impeller Types and Purposes
We offer three different types of impellers for many of our molten metal pumps. (The impeller is the vaned wheel that spins inside the pump base.) The impeller and its interaction with the pump base (and base volute) largely determine the performance characteristics of a given pump design.
Circulate Continuously - Transfer on Demand
The ideal solution for these furnaces would be a single compact pump that performs both the circulation function and the transfer function. Such a pump would require a mechanism to redirect the output of the pump impeller to either a circulation nozzle or a transfer riser.

Why Should I Use a Circulation Pump?
In most real world applications, any one of these benefits results in savings that more than offsets the cost of a circulation pump. As an example, a properly sized and operated circulation pump can increase overall furnace throughput 15% and in some cases 30% for a small fraction of the cost of a furnace expansion project.
