Tilting  Reverb Furnace Design Offers Custom Engineered Efficiency at a Standard Furnace Price 

A 22 foot wide full open front and single door allow for easy access to this 85,000 pound capacity tilter holder furnace.  Computerized controls ensure constant, predictable pour rates for quality output.

SECO/WARWICK Tilting Reverb furnaces have the reputation for premium equipment that delivers constant, predictable pour rates for quality output. 

SECO/WARWICK has completed an engineering redesign program for our Tilting Reverb furnaces in the 40,000  to 240,000 pound range, realizing a 20-30% reduction in cost and a substantial improvement in delivery times.   Utilizing the latest developments in engineering design technology, SECO/WARWICK can offer competitively priced custom engineered efficiency.

Computer aided design allows SECO/WARWICK Engineering to pre-engineer core design standards that can be readily modified to meet customer's plant and process requirements.  By automating the mechanical design in both 2 and 3 D, modifications can easily be made to the core concepts, and drawings generated in the same amount of time as processing a furnace standard, which may not fully meet the customer's process requirements. 

The end result is a significant savings in engineering time/cost, which in turn reduces delivery time.  New concepts can be modeled in 3-D first before drawings are sent for manufacturing.  Overall customer satisfaction is improved because customers can now purchase customized equipment at prices competitive with pre-engineered, off-the-shelf, furnace designs.

In addition to saving engineering and manufacturing time, this review and upgrade resulted in five product improvements:

• 20% total weight reduction
• Smaller footprint while maintaining the same furnace capacity
• Reduction in overall furnace components for quicker field installation
• Cylinder assisted door sealing and closure system
• Furnace front incorporating straight thru sidewalls for efficient cleaning

About SECO/WARWICK Tilting Reverb Furnaces

Reverb furnaces, are direct-fired, open hearth furnaces used for melting or holding nonferrous metal.  Applications for the reverb furnace include melting sows, solids and scrap, along with alloying the molten metal before casting into usable forms.  

SECO/WARWICK Proprietary  Pour Spout

SECO/WARWICK Tilting Reverb furnaces provide the casting station operator maximum control over the delivery of molten metal to the casting machine.  The rate of molten metal flow can be immediately increased or decreased by a convenient pushbutton control, or automatically by a launder metal level sensor. 

The control of the pour is positive at all times.  One of the most interesting features of this design is the unique method of tapping the furnace.  The SECO/WARWICK proprietary pour spout is equipped with a gasketed rotary joint. 

The refractory material is of a high alumina content, high-strength, low moisture, non-wetting material.  The mating flanges are drawn together with a special locking collar.    Since the  rotary pour spout replaces the tap block, no other stopping or controlling devices are required, thus reducing maintenance to a very minimum.  

SECO/WARWICK furnaces can be rectangular or circular in shape, depending on your requirements.
