This immersion type heater can efficiently transfer heat to the molten metal, so that power consumption is reduced significantly compare with a heater heating from outer or upper side.
It can be replaced even during operation in the molten metal.
Temperature is maintained uniformly throughout the molten metal and therefore formation of metal oxides can be inhibited.
The heater is high power and long life because it is made of ceramics.
The panel case is made of NICACERACO®. Therefore, it has high corrosion-, thermal-shock-, and crack-resistance. So the heater has excellent durability.
The molten metal is kept at high temperature during transportation.
Keeping the empty ladle warm by large heat-accumulation.
It is easy to clean the ladle. Refractory is not damaged.
In this sensor system, first, ceramic pipe is put into the molten metal and an inert gas is supplied there, and then changes of pressure are converted into electrical signals. Thus, the system can indicate the level of the molten metal digitally.
By using various types of outputs, different interlocks are available. The system can be used for various applications, such as indication of the time to supply the molten metal into a furnace, full level signals, warning signals, etc.
“System Sensor ™” for low-pressure casting furnaces is now under development for the market.
