MC423 - Melt-Clean Impeller

The IDECO Melt-Clean Impeller System is used for cleaning aluminium. The impeller cleans the melt and removes the existing oxides. The dissolved hydrogen content is also regulated in order to reduce the pore potential; this enables the production of pore-free castings. We offer a wide range of optional solutions for supplementary process documentation.

Fast and effective cleaning of the aluminium melt by means of the rotor/impeller principle
Welded steel structure anchored to the concrete floor
Manually or motorised swivelling
Treatment in furnaces or transport ladles with a crucible volume of 100kg to 3,000kg
Design of the trolley and boom length according to customer requirements
Treatment and service positions freely adjustable during motorised swivelling
Long service life of graphite components thanks to double special impregnation and subsequent drying - Rotor shaft (impeller shaft), rotor (impeller), dammplate (baffle plate)
Several program options, freely definable and adjustable to customer requirements
Automatic addition of treatment agents as granulate by means of a screw conveyor from a storage tank (manufacturer-independent)
Forming gas module for "gassing" the melt with different concentrations.
Automated treatment up to the desired hydrogen value / real-time hydrogen measurement possible with integrated Hycal 100.

Welded steel structure anchored to the concrete floor

We individually manufacture each Melt-Clean impeller for the customer. A number of system modules for complementing your system can be found in the following. If you require any further technical additions, please do not hesitate to contact us.

Networking - treatment data can be made available to the IDECO QS-Master software or on the company's internal network
Control station - possible to connect to the production control station for controlling and monitoring the Melt-Clean impeller
MES connection - possible to connect to the company's internal MES system
Customised motorised slewing ring with free position adjustment (e.g. furnace 1, furnace 2, parking, service position) according to customer requirements
Temperature acquisition - temperature measurement for each treatment with hand lance / min. & max. temperature adjustable / with visualisation of the limit ranges red/ green
External temperature display - complete with visualisation of the limit ranges red/ green
Automatic addition of treatment agents as granulate by means of a screw conveyor from a storage tank (manufacturer-independent). Suitable for installation as a single or DUO system
Digital flow control
Forming gas operation - additional module for automatic gassing of the melt with forming gas. The function is integrated into the automatic treatment sequence
Hydrogen measurement - automated "Hycal 100" hydrogen measurement - treatment possible up to the desired hydrogen value/ real-time hydrogen measurement during operation
RFID scan - reading of the furnace or crucible identifiers
EKS system - user authorisation via electronic key system
Visualisation of treatment parameters on large 12" or 15" panel display
Signal horn - for acoustic signal of the end of treatment
External control cabinet - control mounted on an external stand
Protective hood - for covering the melt during treatment
