Melting bigger, made better

Building on the proven energy, metal yield and melt quality benefits of StrikoMelter, the Ramp Melting Furnace has been specially adapted for foundries needing to melt large sows and T-Bars as well as standard returns and ingots. 

Because melting bigger blocks doesn’t mean you have to miss out on significant savings.

Flexible charging - Can be loaded with sows, T-Bars, ingots or returns

Re-using ramp heat, reducing energy consumption

Sows and T-bars normally too large to fit in StrikoMelter’s famous ETAMAX® shaft, are melted on the specially designed ramp, with waste heat from this process used to preheat the return material in the melting shaft. 

In this way the two melting processes complement each other perfectly for one, energy saving solution to flexible charging.

Low metal loss

One of the largest cost drivers in the manufacture of liquid aluminium is the metal loss. 

The StrikoMelter ramp furnace minimizes the metal loss. In comparison with a reverb furnace, 

it offers enormous potential savings which have an immediate positive effect on profits.

Low energy consumption

Energy consumption is drastically reduced when melting T-bars and sows, as the waste heat from the ramp furnace can be used to preheat return material in the melting shaft. Therefore, in comparison with a reverb furnace, the StrikoWestofen ramp melting furnace allows significant energy costs savings.
