Ajax TOCCO Magnethermic received an order from a large mining company in Mexico for one stationary channel induction furnace for holding and maintaining at temperature a bath of molten zinc. The new furnace is designed to improve the facilities’ capacity by holding the molten zinc poured from existing Ajax TOCCO melting furnaces in operation at the facility.

The scope of supply included:

• (1) 30 Metric Ton Model “TEG” Stationary Zinc Holding Furnace
• (1) 450 kW Ajax Jet-Flow® channel inductor
• (1) 450 kW Power Control Unit & Operator Panel

Technical Advantages of the Ajax TOCCO Equipment

• Jet-Flow® inductors are designed, developed, and put into practical use exclusively by Ajax TOCCO.
• Full-time power ratings. Jet-Flow® inductors operate at full rated power 24 hours per day throughout the life of the inductor.
• Maximum controlled metal circulation. Uniform metal circulation creates uniform chemistry and temperature throughout the molten bath and affords the most accurate overall temperature control.
• Lowest temperature differential between the inductor and main hearth molten metal. Eliminates thermal cycling, eliminates hot spots, increases refractory life, and lowers operating and maintenance costs.
