A scrap melting furnace is an industrial furnace designed to melt down metal scrap-like steel, aluminum, copper, etc.-to reuse it in manufacturing. It's a major part of metal recycling, casting, and alloy production.
Types of Scrap Melting Furnaces
Induction Furnace
Uses electromagnetic induction to heat metal.
Clean, efficient, precise temp control.
Electric Arc Furnace (EAF)
Common for large-scale steel production.
Uses electric arcs between electrodes to melt scrap.
Cupola Furnace
A vertical shaft furnace using coke as fuel.
Used mainly for cast iron.
Rotary Furnace
Rotating drum, often used for aluminum or lead.
Good for melting mixed scrap and dross recovery.
Why Use Scrap Melting Furnaces
Recycling: Turns scrap into usable raw material.
Cost-saving: Cheaper than processing virgin ore.
Energy-efficient: Melting scrap uses less energy than producing metal from scratch.
Eco-friendly: Cuts down on mining and CO2 emissions.
Applications Of Scrap Melting Furnaces
Steel plants
Foundries
Aluminum recycling units
Copper/brass mills
Metal casting industries
Key Features of Scrap Melting Furnaces
Charging System: For loading scrap.
Melting Chamber: Where the magic happens.
Slag Removal System: To get rid of impurities.
Temperature Controls: Critical for alloy accuracy.
Exhaust/Emission System: Keeps air pollution in check.
