The use of dosing furnaces is increasing in aluminium foundries for improved energy efficiency and controlled dosage weight. Foseco will exhibit a dosing furnace lining manufactured in INSURAL. This one piece lining, which is supplied ready for immediate installation, offers excellent insulation and its non-wetting nature ensures that a high level of melt cleanliness is maintained.
In addition, the lining exhibit will also includes INSURAL one-piece dosing tubes for excellent cleanliness; INSURAL and clay graphite lower filling cones; ISOPRIME radiant heater protection tubes that extend the life of heating elements; EKATHERM thermocouple protection sheaths and ZYAROCK shot launders that ensures constant pouring temperatures and avoids oxide formation.
INSURAL pouring basins for tilt pouring applications will also be highlighted. These basins have a number of advantages - extended refractory life, reduced reject rate and lower metal loss due the avoidance of oxide formation.
