ALTEK Curved Electromagnetic Stirrer (CES)
The curved design has a particular advantage for new or existing furnace retrofits on round furnaces that do not have a basement to accommodate a bottom mounted Electromagnetic Stirrer.
The ALTEK inductor is 100% air-cooled and does not require an expensive, complicated and potentially unsafe water-cooling system close to the furnace. The curved inductor profile ensures the electromagnetic field penetrating through the refractory into the molten aluminium remains constant along its length. However, its defining feature is ALTEK’s advanced controls which can instantly switch the direction and intensity of the electromagnetic flow. This creates significant molten metal flow into the centre of the dome furnace where most of the submerged scrap is located and ensures excellent temperature and chemical homogeneity.
