Radiation losses from the metal are minimised by the use of a well- insulated swing aside cover that can cover the crucible when no baling is needed. The superb insulation allows for excellent melting performance from the compact packaged nozzle mix burner. The advanced insulation materials used in the furnace lining also result in low casing temperatures, providing comfortable working conditions. MORGAN MKV GAS FIRED BALE OUT FURNACE MMP MOLTEN METAL PRODUCTS MORGAN MKV GAS FIRED BALE OUT FURNACE MMP Ltd Unit 7 Crucible Business Park Woodbury Lane Norton Worcester WR5 2BA www.moltenmetalproducts.com MMP MOLTEN METAL PRODUCTS RADIANT PANEL ASSEMBLIES Twelve high alumina radiant panels surround the crucible and generally extend to the full depth of the furnace chamber. The self supporting and interlocking design, provides easy removal, should a panel require changing These panels efficiently convert gas energy into radiant energy. HIGH EFFICIENCY The combination of radiant panels which effectively convert gas convection to radiant heat transfer and the use of advanced insulating materials provide a melting and holding furnace of high efficiency with comfortable working conditions. SIZE RANGE The MK V Gas Fired Bale Out is available in the size range 85kg - 1327kg aluminium. Other crucible patterns than those shown in the table are available to provide the capacity span indicated for each size reference. • Energy Efficient • Good Crucible Life • Low Noise Levels • Environmentally Low Emissions FUEL TYPES The furnace is available for the following gaseous fuels: Natural Gas: 9000 kcals/M³ Propane: 22000 kcals/M³ Butane: 28000 kcals/M³ Dynamic Pressure: 20 - 35mbar Note: Pressures higher than 35mbar will require additional regulation Electrical Supply: 400/415v/480v 3 Phase 50/60hz Size 1/2 230v 1 Phase 50/60 hz Available MkV Gas BO 01/12.
