A Tower Melting Furnace (also known as Shaft Melting Furnace) is one of the most fuel-efficient and cost-effective melting solutions for aluminium.

Designed for continuous operation, this furnace delivers outstanding energy savings, high metal quality, and reduced melting cost, making it ideal for large-scale aluminium foundries and die-casting units.

At M.G. Furnaces, we design and manufacture high-performance Tower Melting Furnaces customized to meet the production demands of aluminium melting and holding applications.

What Is a Tower Melting Furnace?

A Tower Melting Furnace consists of a vertical shaft (tower) where aluminium scrap is preheated by exhaust gases before entering the melting chamber.

This preheating process significantly reduces fuel consumption and increases overall thermal efficiency.

It is best suited for high-volume, continuous melting of aluminium ingots, returns, and clean scrap.

Key Features of Our Tower Melting Furnace

• ✔ Maximum Fuel Efficiency
  Preheating of charge using waste heat reduces fuel consumption by 40–50% compared to conventional melting furnaces.
• ✔ Continuous Operation
  Efficient design allows continuous charging and melting, ideal for foundries with consistent production demand.
• ✔ Superior Metal Quality
  Low oxidation, reduced hydrogen pick-up, and stable temperature control ensure high-purity molten aluminium.
• ✔ Dual-Chamber Design
  Includes a melting chamber + holding chamber, enabling uninterrupted casting operations.
• ✔ Low Metal Loss
  Optimized combustion minimizes dross formation, resulting in higher metal recovery.
• ✔ PLC/SCADA Automation
   Advanced control systems for:
  • Temperature regulation
  • Burner control
  • Safety interlocks
  • Charging management
• ✔ Environment-Friendly Operation
  High-efficiency burners and reduced fuel consumption lead to lower emissions.
