Tilting barrel furnaces are engineered by employing latest arch configuration to provide a compact melting furnace that is both productive and economical. This type of configuration has its own advantage. The furnace consist of the self-supporting steel shell and refractory lining offers the greatest resistance to thermal expansion or motion distortion. The tilting barrel melting furnace employ such technique that generates good amount of heat for faster melting rates. The pouring is simple and controlled and is achieved by rotating the entire furnace chamber on its base.

Application
Following are the applications

• Die casting industry.
• Sand casting industry.
• Permanent molders.
• Melting of chips, flash and other fine section scrap.
• Ingot, heavy scrap and returns may be easily charged through a full width access door at the opposite end.

Advantages
Following are the advantages of Tilting Barrel Melting Furnace:

• The melting rate is faster because the cylindrical roof focuses re-radiated heat on the bath for efficient melting. Burners are mounted to fire across the roof which enhance the firing rate.
  
  
• The provision of alternate charging helps in the avoiding of the metal loss that occurs from flame impingement. This is achieved by charging solids in the end door for fast loading. Whereas in the end well fine section material can be charged continuously.
  
  
• The pouring in tilting barrel metal surface there is controlled. The barrel tilts on its own axis to pour any quantity up to any capacity.
  
  
• The tilting barrel metal furnace has Longer life.
  
  
• The wall mounted luminous flame burners reduce the super heating and oxide buildup caused by short flame roof burners.
  
  
• The furnace require low Maintenance. The Simplified design and construction improve furnace life and reduce maintenance to a minimum.
