MC483 - Melt-Clean Impeller - mobile
Impeller for cleaning aluminium


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 with receptacle for the inert gas cylinder
  • Mobile trolley for moving by hand. Can alternatively be equipped with motorised forklift truck
  • Treatment in furnaces or transport ladles with a crucible volume of 100kg to approx. 1,200kg
  • Design of the trolley and boom length according to customer requirements
  • 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)
  • See "Options" for further options available

  • Welded steel structure with receptacle for the inert gas cylinder
  • Hardened linear roller trolley - customised
  • Powerful trolley drive with position sensing for setting the optimum immersion depth
  • Lifting link chain according to DIN
  • Carriage with closed refractory energy supply system
  • Customised boom length
  • Enclosed rotor shaft drive with double belt and temperature-resistant, maintenance-friendly SKF bearings
  • Standard coupling system MC275CO for friction-locked, gas-tight mounting of the rotor shaft (manufacturer-independent)
  • Customised graphite components - rotor shaft (impeller shaft), rotor (impeller), dammplate (baffle plate)
  • Control cabinet - PLC control with clear 7" comfort touch panel, operating status display, service mode and all necessary emergency functions
  • Program menu freely adjustable by the customer (program name, treatment time, speed etc. / module dependent)
  • Possible input prompt for furnace and batch numbers
  • System access rights adjustable - operator, administrator / master / maintenance
  • Automatic inert gas pressure control
  • Flow control
  • Speed control of rotor drive
  • Automatic flushing of the rotor shaft and rotor
  • CE conformity

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 with Wi-Fi - treatment data can be made available to the IDECO QS-Master software or on the company's internal network
  • Control station with Wi-Fi - for connection to the production control station for monitoring the Melt-Clean impeller
  • 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 with Wi-Fi - 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
  • Can be equipped with motorised industrial truck (e.g. Still, Toyota)
  • Digital flow control
  • Possible identification of furnace and batch number
  • 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
  • Protective hood - for covering the melt during treatment

  • Design            Mobile Melt-Clean Impeller System produced from a powder-coated steel structure and anodised aluminium cladding.
  • Dimensions depending on system format
  • Weight depending on system format
