Upcast’s latest development for line hardware is a new, bigger, one-inductor 15-ton teapot-type melting furnace. This replaces the previous two-inductor 12-ton cylinder-type furnace for the capacity range of 15,000-20,000 TPA. “When the furnace is equipped with only one inductor, even though it is bigger than before, the purchase price will be less,” said sales manager Tuomas Rajaviita. The new furnace also means new opportunities both for traditional casting lines and for lines utilising recycled copper. “In certain applications using recycled material, we have always offered a three-furnace system, but now with the larger melting furnace for specific cases a two-furnace alternative is available,” added Mr Rajaviita.
