Melting room

The melting shop is where liquid metal (gray and ductile iron) is produced. All batch materials used are certified for quality. The composition of the liquid metal is controlled several times so that it meets all standards.

The melting shop at the Siminski-Ordon Iron Foundry operates on a duplex system. Metal is melted in medium frequency induction furnaces with a capacity of 2 x 6 tons and 2 x 4 tons. The maximum capacity of the melting shop is 10 tons/hour (liquid metal).

During the pouring of the mold, a modifier is blown directly onto the metal stream. In addition, the pouring temperature of each mold is measured using an optical pyrometer. All process parameters are archived in real time.

Among the equipment used in the melting shop are:

• Otto Junker GmbM induction stoves
• Hot pourers (with inductor)
• Cold pourers
• Euro-Equip and Yuatsuki scrap crushers
