The gas-fired crucible furnaces in the TBR product line fitted with the side exhaust gas discharge provide for optimum energy utilization combined with highest quality melt. Fitted with a burner system including heat-recovery system using a recuperative burner, the energy efficiency of ordinary gas-fired melting furnaces is significantly improved.
Depending on utilization the hot exhaust gases from the crucible furnace are guided through a heat exchanger in order to preheat the combustion air for the burner. The system provides for energy savings of up to 25 % compared to ordinary gas-fired furnaces with side exhaust gas discharge. The higher purchase costs are amortized within a short time.
