Tilting Furnace

Home  /  Our Products  /  Furnaces  /  Tilting Furnace
A Tilting Furnace is a type of melting furnace designed so that the entire body (or just the crucible) can be tilted mechanically or hydraulically to pour molten metal safely and precisely into molds, ladles, or transfer systems. Instead of scooping or tapping, the furnace is tilted to pour the metal directly. This is especially useful when working with large volumes, heavy metals, or reactive alloys.
Key Working Principle:
  • Metal is melted inside the furnace (typically via induction, gas, oil, or electric resistance).
  • Once molten and ready, the furnace body or crucible is tilted to pour out the liquid metal.
  • The tilting mechanism ensures a smooth, controlled pour - reducing splashing, oxidation, and waste.


Key Components
  • Furnace body (lined with refractory)
  • Melting crucible (graphite, ceramic, or steel)
  • Tilting frame (manual, motorized, or hydraulic)
  • Control system (pour speed, angle, temp monitoring)
  • Power source (induction coil, burner, etc.)
  • Safety system (limiters, emergency shut-offs).
Advantages:
  • Controlled, precise pouring
  • Minimizes dross and oxidation
  • Handles large or heavy melts
  • Great for continuous casting operations
  • Improved safety vs ladle transfer
  • Ideal for alloying and homogeneous melts
