Primary melting is done here with four 34 ton, 2,000 KW Jet-Flow furnaces for iron. Ajax TOCCO was responsible for the complete melt shop, from overhead cranes to hot metal handling. |
Three 40 ton, 1750 KW Jet-Flow furnaces are used to produce 160 tons of gray and ductile iron per day. "Off peak" melting saves them over $35.00 per ton and Jet Flow inductors enable them to melt plant generated chips and borings. | ![]() |
