Lightweight Aluminum-Alloy Shell. Simple Reducer Tilting. Flexible Batch Melting.
Dinghong manufactures DHL aluminum shell induction furnaces with aluminum-alloy cast or welded furnace bodies and reducer-driven tilting systems. Available in nominal capacities from 0.1 to 8 tons, each furnace can be matched with a medium-frequency power supply, cooling and electrical equipment according to the metal, batch size, required output and local voltage.
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.
The shell is cast or welded from aluminum alloy to provide a comparatively lightweight and compact supporting structure.
A motor and gearbox drive the furnace tilting movement for charging, melting and controlled pouring.
The 0.1–8 ton model range supports flexible batch selection for foundry projects with different production requirements.
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.
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.
Prepared metal charge is loaded into a correctly selected and installed furnace lining.
The power supply energizes the water-cooled coil and transfers electrical energy into the charge.
Induced current heats the charge while power, temperature and process timing are controlled.
The reducer-driven tilting system rotates the furnace body for controlled metal pouring.
Select nominal furnace capacity together with the required production rate, metal, matched power supply and operating schedule. Furnace capacity alone does not determine tons per hour.
