Summer Webinar: Isomelting Technology by Lethiguel - Melting and Holding Aluminum Using Conductive Electricimmersion Heaters

Join us Wednesday, August 13 at noon for a presentation on Isomelting Technology from Lethiguel!

This presentation will explain the melting of solid aluminum into an existing bath of liquid aluminum, using electric energy provided by conduction. Taking advantage of the high thermal conductivity of aluminum, this 100% electric melting technique provides extreme efficiency with 99% of the energy being transferred to the metal itself. Past practical applications have shown that measured energy consumptions range from 300 to 350kW/hour/Ton for melting, and only 10 to 15kW/hour/Ton for holding at a given temperature setpoint.

The isothermal electric melting technology can either replace central melting furnaces, as well as offer a solution to optimize the complete die-casting process.  Because both melting and holding can be performed at the die-casting machine directly, this offers more flexibility in the manufacturing and operation process (multiple alloys can be handled as each diecasting cell can have its own alloy), as well as cutting down energy costs incurred by the conveying of molten metal.
