gas fired aluminum furnace produces a flat flame pattern that promotes even heating by radiation from the roof and eliminates flame impingement on the bath, minimizing metal losses. the firing is proportional and heating is controlled which is distributed homogeneously. for proportional firing for better temperature control and maximum energy savings a variable speed blower is used. the unique burner and blower combination eliminate metal temperature "creep-up" at low fire and still provide maximum metal temperature recovery at high fire. the furnace is easy to stall because the majority of the combustion train and the junction box are mounted on the top of the roof which free up valuable floor space. a pneumatic roof opening mechanism is included providing easy access to the heating chamber for fluxing and cleaning.
