Aluminium melting furnaces are the cornerstone of high-quality aluminium rod production \u2014 the essential raw material for electrical conductors, overhead transmission lines (AAC<\/a><\/strong>\/ACSR<\/a><\/strong>), building wire, and power cables. The furnace type you choose directly determines metal cleanliness<\/strong>, hydrogen content, inclusion levels, energy consumption per ton, metal yield, and ultimately the drawability and final performance of your aluminium conductors.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

In modern cable manufacturing plants, the melting stage must deliver consistent molten aluminium at 700\u2013750\u00b0C with minimal oxidation and contamination to ensure stable CCR (Continuous Casting and Rolling) performance and fewer breaks during rod breakdown and multi-wire drawing.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Below is a detailed breakdown of the main furnace types used in the aluminium industry, enriched with technical specifications, refractory recommendations, real-world performance data, and direct relevance to cable production.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

1. Reverberatory Furnaces (Fixed & Tilting)<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

Working Principle<\/strong>: Heat radiates from the roof and walls onto the metal charge. Gas or oil burners fire above the melt pool.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Typical Capacity<\/strong>: 10\u2013100+ tons per batch <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Operating Temperature<\/strong>: 700\u20131000\u00b0C <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Melting Rate<\/strong>: 1\u20138 tons\/hour depending on size<\/p>\n\n\n\n
