Lindberg/MPH ships aluminium launder system to a leader in the die casting industry

<p>Lindberg/MPH announced the shipment of an 85&rsquo; long electric resistance heated aluminium launder system to a leader in aluminium die casting. This launder system will be connecting the customer&rsquo;s existing gas fired aluminium melting furnace to three (3) new electric resistance aluminium holding furnaces located at their three diecast machines.</p> <p>The launder eliminates equipment and manpower costs, as well as the inherent dangers, associated with transferring molten aluminium from the melting furnace to the three holding furnaces with fork lifts and transfer ladles. The launder also keeps the molten aluminium at a set point temperature until it reaches the holding furnaces which mean there is no temperature lost during transfer.</p> <p>Overall, this system saves energy by eliminating two (2) pours. One (1) from the melting furnace to the transfer ladle and another from the transfer ladle to the holding furnace. It eliminates the oxides and the resulting hard spots that form each time the molten aluminium is disturbed making it very efficient for the customer.</p> <p>{googleAdsense}</p> <p>Unique features of this aluminium launder system include:</p> <ul> <li>Air cylinder operated launder and holding furnace heating lids for ease of access for cleaning and maintenance.</li> <li>Highly insulated calcium silicate board linings that are naturally non-wetting to aluminium saves energy and makes cleaning a breeze.</li> <li>A working tap encased in a bolt-on end cap on the launder allows for tapping metal for remote holding furnaces not attached to the new launder system.</li> </ul> <p>This electric resistance heated aluminium launder system is factory tested and adjusted prior to shipment to help reduce installation and start-up times. The system is backed by Lindberg/MPH&rsquo;s Exclusive 3-Year Warranty. This warranty covers all materials for all components (less wear items).</p>
