Aluminum Immersion Heater for Molten Non-Ferrous Metals

Aluminum Immersion Heater for Molten Non-Ferrous Metals

Aluminum Immersion Heater for Molten Non-Ferrous Metals

The long-life Sialon aluminium immersion heater is the ideal solution for molten non-ferrous heating and handling now up to 1100° Celsius or 2012° Fahrenheit! With a limited 12 months warranty period against electrical defects, you can be confident in its performance.

Benefits of Direct Heating with an Aluminum Heater:

  • Direct heating with an aluminum heater, particularly using Sialon ceramics, offers significant advantages for molten non-ferrous metal processing, These heaters, designed for applications like die casting and degassing, provide unmatched efficiency and precision.

  • Energy efficiency is a standout feature. Sialon aluminum immersion heaters achieve over 99% energy efficiency, saving 30-50% compared to traditional methods. By directly heating molten metals like aluminum, magnesium, or zinc, they minimize heat loss, reducing energy costs by up to 40%. This efficiency lowers operating expenses and supports decarbonization by cutting CO2 emissions.

  • Precise temperature control ensures high-quality results. These heaters maintain flow temperature accuracy within ±2°C, preventing overheating that could damage metal purity. This reduces oxides, corundum, and dross, enhancing cast part quality and minimizing metal losses during production. The result is stronger, more reliable products with fewer defects.

  • Durability and corrosion resistance are critical. Sialon’s silicon nitride-based composition offers superior resistance to chemical corrosion in harsh molten metal environments. With a high melting point and low thermal expansion, these heaters withstand temperatures up to 1100°C, ensuring long-term reliability and reduced maintenance costs. A 12-month warranty against chemical attack and electrical defects underscores their robustness.

  • Versatility and customization make these heaters ideal for high-pressure die casting, filtration, and ladle reheating. With customizable power, voltage, and sheath sizes, they meet diverse industrial needs. The use of advanced materials like silicon nitride enhances thermal conductivity and shock resistance, optimizing performance in demanding settings. Sialon aluminum heaters deliver cost-effective, eco-friendly, and high-performance solutions for modern metallurgy.

Product Description

Sialon & Silicon Nitride Striko Sialon Westofen Dosing Tubes give the best price/performance rate when melting temperature of aluminum at 660.3 °C.

Sialon Dosing Tubes | Silicon Nitride Dosing Tubes | Sialon Westofen Dosing Tubes | Westofen Dosing Tubes | Striko Westofen Dosing TubesAs standard Aluminium Titanate dosing tubes have a relatively short service life (life span) and often clog during intensive use in Striko Westomat dosing furnaces, we have developed a low thermal conductivity Sialon dosing tube. These tubes come with a standard 12 months warranty against chemical attack.

The Westomat crucible dosing furnace is a clean, closed warming and dosing system for liquid aluminum. Depending on the system, the metal is always removed below the surface of the bath and is therefore automatically fed to the casting machine or casting mold free of contaminants.

Setting up and operating the system is easy with the silicon nitride Striko Sialon Westofen dosing tubes. And that with extremely low cleaning and maintenance costs. Its lifespan is proverbial: Our customers still use our riser tubes after 2-3 years in service. The Westomat furnace can also be heated with Sialon Immersion heaters. It can be integrated into any die casting system, but also in gravity casting. With variants from 450 kg to 3,100 kg capacity, the Westomat covers all cast part sizes.The hydrogen content of the molten aluminium can now be easily measured by using our new hydrogen content measurement device which has been optimized for ultrasonic degassing.
