Aluminum Scrap Melting Furnace: Efficient and Eco-Friendly Solution for Aluminum Recycling

In the modern metal processing industry, recycling has become as crucial as primary production. Aluminum, being one of the most recyclable metals, is widely reused in industries ranging from automotive and aerospace to construction and packaging. To support this circular economy, businesses need efficient and reliable melting equipment — and that’s where the Aluminum Scrap Melting Furnace plays a key role.

This article presents a comprehensive product plan for our aluminum scrap melting furnace, engineered for global clients seeking energy-efficient, high-performance, and environmentally friendly solutions for aluminum recycling.

What is an Aluminum Scrap Melting Furnace?

An aluminum scrap melting furnace is a type of industrial equipment designed to melt recycled aluminum materials such as cans, profiles, turnings, wires, rims, and die-cast parts. The furnace transforms solid scrap into liquid aluminum, which can then be cast into ingots, billets, or directly used in manufacturing.

Unlike standard aluminum melting furnaces, scrap melting systems are built with additional features to handle impurities, oxides, and variable scrap sizes. They are critical for secondary aluminum production lines and can significantly reduce energy costs and carbon emissions compared to primary smelting.

Furnace Features and Design

Our Aluminum Scrap Melting Furnace is designed to meet the most demanding needs of scrap processors and foundries. It is available in several configurations depending on fuel type, capacity, and melting method.

Heating Methods

• Diesel or Natural Gas Fired: Ideal for large-scale operations with fast melting rates.

• Electric Resistance: Suitable for cleaner operation and lower emissions.

• Induction Furnace (for sorted clean scrap): Offers precise temperature control and high thermal efficiency.

Construction and Materials

• Double-layered steel shell with high-temperature paint.

• High-alumina refractory lining for heat retention and durability.

• Tilting system or tap-hole design for molten aluminum discharge.

Control System

• PLC + HMI interface for smart operation.

• Thermocouple-based temperature sensors.

• Overheat protection, slag removal alarms, and energy monitoring.
