UPCAST’S latest development for line
hardware is a new, bigger,
one-inductor 15-ton teapot-type
melting furnace. This replaces the
previous two-inductor 12-ton
cylinder-type furnace for the capacity
range of 15,000-20,000 TPA.
“When the furnace is equipped with
only one inductor, even though it is
bigger than before, the purchase price
will be less,” said sales manager
Tuomas Rajaviita.
The new furnace also means new
opportunities both for traditional
casting lines and for lines utilising
recycled copper. “In certain
applications using recycled material,
we have always offered a
three-furnace system, but now with
the larger melting furnace for specific
cases a two-furnace alternative is
available,” added Mr Rajaviita.
