Higher energy efficiency by using a sweeping flame aluminium melting system
Aluminium is the 3rd most abundant material in earth´s crust. Aluminium metal has a strong affinity for oxygen and because of this affinity aluminium does not occur as a metal naturally in nature. Therefore you may ask how and why is it possible to use pure oxygen with natural gas to melt aluminium without increased oxidation. It is achieved through proper application of oxygen burner technology within an aluminium melting or holding furnace.
