Aluminum Shell Furnace Overview

What Is an Aluminum Shell Induction Furnace?

The DHL aluminum shell furnace is a medium-frequency induction melting furnace built with a cast or welded aluminum-alloy outer body. Its lightweight shell provides a compact furnace structure, while the matched power supply, induction coil, refractory lining and process settings are configured around the metal and production target.

Also specified as an aluminium shell induction furnace, this model forms part of Dinghong’s induction metal melting furnace range and emphasizes a lightweight, compact and economical furnace body. The original configuration uses a tilting system driven by a motor and reducer, making it suitable for small-to-medium capacity work where simple operation and installation flexibility are important.

01

Aluminum-Alloy Furnace Body

The shell is cast or welded from aluminum alloy to provide a comparatively lightweight and compact supporting structure.

02

Reducer-Driven Tilting

A motor and gearbox drive the furnace tilting movement for charging, melting and controlled pouring.

03

Small-to-Medium Capacity Positioning

The 0.1–8 ton model range supports flexible batch selection for foundry projects with different production requirements.

04

Simple Equipment Configuration

Unlike a steel shell furnace, the standard aluminum shell structure does not include magnetic yokes, a furnace cover or the same level of integrated protection devices.

How It Works

How a Medium-Frequency Aluminum Shell Furnace Works

A matched medium-frequency power supply energizes the water-cooled induction coil, creating an alternating magnetic field and induced current within the metal charge. The final power, frequency, lining and operating settings must be selected for the actual metal and production target.

01

Charge

Prepared metal charge is loaded into a correctly selected and installed furnace lining.

02

Induce

The power supply energizes the water-cooled coil and transfers electrical energy into the charge.

03

Melt & Control

Induced current heats the charge while power, temperature and process timing are controlled.

04

Tilt & Pour

The reducer-driven tilting system rotates the furnace body for controlled metal pouring.

Furnace Selection

How to Select Furnace Capacity, Power and Frequency

A 0.1 ton or 1 ton aluminum shell furnace describes nominal batch capacity—not guaranteed hourly production. Melting output depends on the metal, power, frequency, charge condition, tapping temperature, operating time and furnace arrangement.

Metal & GradeConfirm the actual metal and grade before selecting power, frequency and lining.
Batch CapacityRequired molten metal for each heat or casting cycle.
Hourly / Daily OutputTotal production target, shifts and available working hours.
Charge ConditionScrap size, return material, density and charging practice.
Electrical SupplyLocal voltage, frequency, grid capacity and transformer conditions.
Plant ConditionsCooling water, ambient environment, altitude and installation space.

Frequently Asked Questions

Aluminum Shell Induction Furnace FAQ

What does “aluminum shell” mean in an induction furnace?

In this furnace type, the outer supporting body is cast or welded from aluminum alloy. This construction helps reduce furnace-body weight and supports a compact, economical layout for small-to-medium-capacity melting systems.

Can an aluminum shell furnace be configured for different metals?

Yes. The suitable metal range is determined by the matched power supply, operating frequency, induction coil, refractory lining, tapping temperature and approved process configuration. Share the metal and production target with Dinghong before model selection.

What furnace capacities are available?

The DHL range includes nominal capacities of 0.1, 0.25, 0.3, 0.35, 0.5, 0.75, 1, 1.5, 2, 2.5, 3, 5 and 8 tons. The final model must also meet the required hourly or daily output.

Is the 0.1 ton model suitable as a small electric melting furnace?

The 0.1 ton model can be evaluated for small-batch metal melting. Suitability depends on the metal, charge condition, required melting time, temperature, available electrical capacity and production schedule.

How is the DHL aluminum shell furnace tilted?

The original configuration uses a motor and gear reducer to drive furnace tilting. Reducer model, dimensions and mechanical arrangement vary with furnace capacity.

Is the medium-frequency power supply included?

The furnace can be supplied with a matched power system. The quotation should clearly identify whether it includes the furnace body, power cabinet, transformer, compensation equipment, cooling, cables, control and spare parts.

How do I choose between an aluminum shell and steel shell furnace?

An aluminum shell furnace prioritizes a lightweight, compact and economical structure for small-to-medium capacity work. A steel shell furnace is commonly selected where structural rigidity, hydraulic tilting, magnetic yokes and more complete protective configurations are priorities.

What determines aluminum shell furnace price?

Price depends on capacity, metal, required output, power rating, reducer model, furnace quantity, transformer, cooling, controls, spare parts, delivery destination and technical-service scope.

What information is needed for a quotation?

Please provide the metal and grade, capacity per batch, hourly or daily production target, working hours, charge material, tapping temperature, local voltage and frequency, installation country and required supply scope.
