Pre-Melting Pots are available in both channel and coreless versions. These may be used for alloying including Alu-Zinc alloys. Pre-Melting Pots help to minimize the dross that can otherwise build-up in the main coating pot. Launder options are available for transferring molten metal at the proper temperature from a Pre-Melting Pot to the main Coating Pot and offer other benefits.
Pre-Melting Pots are primarily used to replenish the main coating pot. These are important with a channel-type coating pot installation because the clog-causing dross created during the melting of ingots occurs in the pre-melt pot and not during the coating process. This allows for:
Minimized wear or clogging of the channel during operation
Minimized temperature variations in the main pot usually caused by ingot insertion
Better quality product and less dross accumulation in the coating pot
Launder options are available for transferring molten metal at the proper temperature from a Pre-Melting Pot to the main Coating Pot and offer the following benefits:
Minimize oxidation of the alloy
Can be heated by either gas burners or an electrical system mounted to the optional insulated launder cover
Are available as either overflow (angled) or flooded (level)
