Rotary Furnace

The rotary furnace play major role in foundry industry. The burners used in the rotary tube furnace are of different types. There are are different burners for different fuel types. The rotary furnaces are an alternative for all small and mid size foundries using cupola furnaces or induction furnaces. Gray, nodular or malleable cast iron can be produced with high analytical accuracy at a low investment cost, while using minimal personnel. Other advantages of the system are a minimal space requirement, ease of operation, and simplicity to maintain.
