Aluminum Liquid Degassing Box with 150 – 500 kg/min Handling Capacity and ≥65% Degassing Efficiency for Molten Aluminum Purification
Aluminum Liquid Degassing Box with Hanging Heating Cover | Rotary Degassing Unit for Molten Aluminum Purification
WUXI WONDERY INDUSTRY EQUIPMENT CO., LTD. presents a high-performance Aluminum Liquid Degassing Box designed for the efficient purification of molten aluminum. This fixed degassing box is used together with a mobile rotary degassing unit and an overhead crane-mounted heating cover to achieve online hydrogen and inclusion removal. When degassing is not required, the heating cover is hoisted by a crane to cover the box, providing constant temperature insulation, preventing oxidation and secondary hydrogen absorption. This equipment is ideal for continuous production in aluminum alloy casting, including pure aluminum, Al-Si, Al-Mg, and Al-Mn alloys. Operating temperature ranges from 720℃ to 850℃. Key applications include hydrogen removal, non-metallic inclusion removal, and melt insulation to improve casting density and mechanical properties.
Industry Challenges & Causes
-
Problem: High Hydrogen Content. Excessive gas leads to pinholes and porosity in finished aluminum castings
.
-
Cause: Inefficient Degassing Methods. Standard treatments fail to reach the sub-0.12 mL/100g Al hydrogen threshold required for high-grade alloys
. -
Problem: Temperature Loss & Oxidation. During production gaps, molten aluminum loses heat rapidly and absorbs secondary hydrogen
. -
Cause: Lack of Surface Protection. Without active temperature compensation, the melt surface oxidizes and forms a crust, increasing metal loss
.
Our Solution
-
Superior Degassing Efficiency: Achieves ≥65% degassing efficiency when paired with rotary units, ensuring high casting density and improved mechanical properties
.
-
Crane-Mounted Radiant Heating Cover: An 18kW electric heating system with PID control (500℃–850℃) provides reliable insulation, preventing oxidation and secondary absorption
.
-
High-Silicon Corrosion-Resistant Liner: The integrally sintered lining resists aluminum sticking and withstands temperatures ≥1100℃, with a service life exceeding 12 months
.
-
Energy-Saving Multi-Layer Insulation: ≥100 mm ceramic fiber insulation maintains an outer wall temperature rise of ≤50℃, optimizing energy use
