FEATURES

Safely removes adhering oil and moisture from aluminum chips (active metals) that often cause fires and explosions, realizing stable operation and improved added value.

Target breed	Aluminum alloy 5000 series (AC material, ADC material, A356 material, etc.) Aluminum alloy 6000 series (sash, etc.) Other aluminum (pure aluminum, etc.) Mg-alloy
Equipment features	Safe treatment without ignition Compared to the conventional direct combustion type, the fire risk is greatly reduced and safe and stable operation is realized. Higher quality and safe dissolution Chips washed with superheated steam contain very little residual oil and moisture, and flame generation is minimal during chip dissolution, enabling safe dissolution. Oxidation control effect (improvement of melting yield) Processing in an ultra-low oxygen atmosphere suppresses oxidation and reduces residual C. Therefore, it is expected to improve the yield when melting the metal content due to the oxide reduction effect. (Competitors' performance: 1-2% improvement performance data available)
Recommended system	Electric heater heating method External heat type rotary kiln system
