Rayteq's new high-powered, compact electric furnaces paired with advanced hybrid digital/analog power controls slash energy costs by melting aluminum or magnesium right at the die casting machine or molding line, eliminating wasteful energy losses from hot metal transportation, launders and holding furnaces in central melt systems. Additional advantages include higher energy efficiency, less metal loss, fewer scrapped castings, no operator heat stress, and no noise, all while virtually eliminating air quality issues. High furnace melting rates in a compact space are made possible by Rayteq's unique high power density heating elements featuring new life-enhancing materials technology. Rayteq also supplies exact heating element replacements to incorporate this new technology into older electric furnaces.
Rayteq's new electric furnaces are available in many standard models with melting rates from 250 lbs/hour to 2,200 lbs/hour, and capacities from 450 lbs to 4,200 lbs, aluminum, and are supplied ready to operate with Fleet Commander™ IDMS™ demand management system. Magnesium and zinc melting rates are available upon request.
