CONTINUOUS CASTING FURNACES

 "ETNA" Model

The new series of continuous casting furnaces ETNA replaces the previous version FCC/OPTI and takes advantage from both experiences.
ETNA has been improved in technical features and general aesthetics.
A new towing system in aluminium is integrated in the melting chamber. Just by removing the protection carter you  approach to the graphite equipment.
Time for intervention, like as changing crucible/die, thermocouples, etc is strongly reduced.
Towing has been redesigned on structure of previous one. It is cooled by water and works with a step-by-step motor and an epicycloidal reducer. Cooling socket has been also improved to get the best efficiency from graphite equipment.
Heart of furnace is a brand new medium frequency power system, entirely realized in our R&D Dept., with following main features:

 

   - Higher melting speed
-
Silent power system
-
New graphic interface
-
Printing of programs and settings

 


 

  - Sms on your mobile phone in case of
  alarms and end of working cycle
-
 Pc connection
- Internet connection for software upgrade
and on-line assistance

"VULCANO" Model

The new series of continuous casting furnaces VULCANO has similar characteristics of ETNA but simpler graphic interface, a normal control panel connected with an external pc.
VULCANO employs a silent medium frequency power system for high speed melting (same of ETNA).
Models 03 and 05 are table-furnaces. They can be completed with manual or pneumatic towing, which is able to pull till 4 wires at same time with diameter of 4-6 mm. Towing system is in aluminium, cooled by water and it works with a step-by-step motor and an epicycloidal reducer.
Models 07 and 12 are more similar to ETNA: same M/F power system, smaller towing, printer and wheels panel for pulling down metal.
