The 62-GH gas-fired aluminum holding furnace was designed to fill the
needs of customers who want a gas-fired holding furnace that fits
the footprint of the popular Holimesy® electric holding furnace
line but with a more robust lining material and greater metal temperature
recovery capability.
Different BTU/hour input packages are used on the standard sizes for
different capacity furnaces providing better temperature control and
energy savings. Additional packages are available with higher inputs
for use on special, or non-standard, furnaces.
Features
The burner produces a flat flame pattern that promotes even heating
by radiation from the roof and eliminates flame impingement on the
bath, minimizing metal losses.
A variable speed blower is used to provide
fully proportional firing for better temperature control and maximum
energy savings.
The unique burner and blower combination allows nearly
a ten-to-one turn-down ratio to eliminate metal temperature "creep-up" at
low fire and still provide maximum metal temperature recovery at
high fire.
The majority of the combustion train and the junction
box are mounted on the top of the roof to free up valuable floor
space.
A pneumatic roof opening mechanism is included providing
easy access to the heating chamber for fluxing and cleaning.
Flame
supervision and combustion components are included to meet F.M. or
I.R.I. insurance specifications.
Also available in the deeper 62-GHD
style for use with our 69-Valca Autoladle
