Our New Tilt Furnace Is Heating Things Up!
Advanced Chemical has always been committed to providing the highest quality services to our customers. We have a variety of gas and induction melters to meet the needs of our customers, and several months ago, we were able to increase our productivity and capacity by purchasing and installing a new melter in our facility. The newest member of the Advanced Chemical family is an Inductotherm 2500 Troy Ounce Melter, otherwise known as a tilt furnace.
The main advantage to induction is efficiency; we can do the same melt in less time. Induction also creates its own mixing current, whereas gas melting requires some manual stirring and mixing. When done correctly, however, gas melting yields the exact same result. We’re excited to add this technology alongside the methods we’ve been using since we started doing business and are pleased to say that the induction furnace won’t represent any sacrifice in the final yield quality that clients expect from us.
The efficiency of the tilt furnace offers a real advantage for customers with large batches who want to watch the melt process. We have an open-door policy at Advanced Chemical, so customers are welcome to come to the facility and watch the whole melt and sample process from start to finish. One of the primary benefits of the Inductotherm 2500 tilt furnace is its size. Precious Metal Refineries with only smaller furnaces at their disposal may have to split up the melt, adding time to the whole process.
When a customer with a large batch is watching the melt, we don’t want to take more time out of their day by having to do the process twice because only a smaller furnace is available. With this larger capacity tilt furnace, we can do large batches all at once, let the customer watch the entire process and take their samples with them in a reasonable amount of time. Our new tilt furnace allows us to better meet our clients’ schedules and needs.
We are very proud of our continued efforts to offer flexible solutions to our customers. We are excited about our new tilt furnace and the commitment it represents to explore new technologies that allow us to provide our customers with the most efficiency and the best possible end product.
