Successful sale of a StrikoWestofen MH II-N 3000 / 1500 G-eg melting and holding furnace with preheating systems and transport crucibles
FISS has once again successfully completed a project in the field of foundry technology. The sale involved a StrikoWestofen MH II-N 3000 / 1500 G-eg melting and holding furnace, including two preheating systems and transport crucibles for efficient material transport within the melting plant.
In addition to the successful sale, the experienced team also handled the entire technical process on site. The melting and holding furnace, the preheating systems and the transport crucibles were professionally dismantled by a qualified dismantling team, transported within the premises and then professionally loaded for safe onward transport. Thanks to the precise planning and execution of all work steps, the project was completed on schedule and efficiently.
High-performance melting technology for the modern aluminium foundry
The StrikoWestofen MH II-N 3000 / 1500 G-eg is one of the tried-and-tested melting and holding furnaces for aluminium processing. The system was specially developed for high melting capacities, maximum energy efficiency and consistently high melt quality.
By combining the melting and holding zones, the system enables a continuous production process and ensures an optimal supply of molten aluminium to die-casting, permanent mould or low-pressure casting plants.
Advantages of the StrikoWestofen MH II-N 3000 / 1500 G-eg
- High melting capacity combined with low energy consumption
- Optimised heat utilisation and reduced operating costs
- Consistent melt quality thanks to precise temperature control
- Low metal losses and reduced oxidation
- High process reliability and plant availability
- Robust construction for continuous industrial use
- Suitable for demanding aluminium foundries with high production volumes
Thanks to its efficient furnace technology, the StrikoWestofen melting and holding furnace makes a significant contribution to reducing production costs and improving material quality.
Preheating systems for maximum energy efficiency
The scope of supply also included two high-performance preheating systems, which make a significant contribution to process optimisation. By preheating input materials, energy losses can be reduced and melting processes accelerated.
Advantages of the preheating systems
- Reduction in energy consumption
- Faster melting cycles
- Improved melt quality
- Reduction in moisture ingress into the melt
- Greater process stability and safety
- Support for sustainable and cost-effective production
Preheating systems make a significant contribution to increasing efficiency and reducing costs, particularly with high production volumes.
Transport crucibles for safe liquid metal transport
The transport crucibles, which are also included, enable the safe and controlled transport of molten aluminium within the production facility or between different areas of the plant.
Advantages of the transport crucibles
- Safe transport of molten metal
- Minimisation of temperature losses
- High thermal efficiency
- Robust and durable construction
- Support for a continuous material flow
- Reduction of production interruptions
The use of high-quality transport crucibles ensures that the melt can be supplied efficiently without compromising material quality.
Professional dismantling and loading by experienced specialists
A key component of this project was the professional dismantling and logistics of the entire plant. The experienced team undertook the dismantling of the melting and holding furnace, the preheating systems and the transport crucibles. This was followed by the internal transport of all components and their safe and professional loading for onward transport to the new site.
The use of suitable lifting and transport equipment, combined with many years of experience in handling foundry equipment, ensured that the process ran smoothly. This creates the ideal conditions for the recommissioning of the plant by the new operator.
