Scrap aluminum smelting started at the beginning of this century and developed greatly during and after World War II. Now, the world's annual secondary aluminum production is about 4 million tons, equivalent to about 25% of primary aluminum production. In some industrially developed countries, such as the former Federal Republic of Germany, the United Kingdom, Italy, France, and the United States, scrap aluminum smelting and recycling has become an important source of supply for aluminum and aluminum alloys, accounting for a considerable proportion of primary aluminum production.
Advantages of Scrap Aluminum Smelting
Because the increase in primary aluminum production leads to the increase of waste aluminum parts and waste aluminum materials, modern technology has made the quality of recycled aluminum not inferior to the original aluminum alloy with the same composition, and the energy consumption per ton of recycled aluminum is only from ore About 5% of the primary aluminum is produced, the production cost is low, and the investment is small.
Compared with primary aluminum, recycled aluminum has obvious environmental advantages. The recycling of aluminum is recognized globally as the key to maintaining the stability of aluminum resources and supply balance.
Features of Medium Frequency Aluminum Melting Furnace

The smelting equipment for secondary aluminum is also called an aluminum melting furnace, including a reverberatory furnace, induction furnace, resistance furnace, and so on. Among them, the induction aluminum melting furnace is widely favored by scrap aluminum smelting enterprises. The characteristics of an induction aluminum melting furnace are as follows:
1. The smelting speed is fast, the burning loss rate is low, and the recycling rate of waste aluminum can reach 92%;
2. The discharge method is flexible. Fixed bottom discharge, reversible furnace discharge;
3. The equipment is fully digitally controlled, with high stability and reliability;
4. It can be equipped with an automatic casting line to realize continuous production operation;
5. The capacity is below 3T, and the equipment can be fully air-cooled without water-cooling equipment;
6. Power consumption per ton is as low as 360kwh;
7. Using a high-quality silicon carbide crucible, the average service life of the crucible can be extended by more than 50%, and the service life of the equipment is more than 10 years;
8. During the smelting process, the molten aluminum has no flow and no tumbling, which reduces oxidation loss.
As the competition in the scrap aluminum smelting equipment industry continues to intensify, and the mergers and acquisitions, integration, and capital operations among large enterprises are becoming more and more frequent, excellent scrap aluminum smelting equipment companies at home and abroad pay more and more attention to the analysis and research of the scrap aluminum smelting equipment market, especially for scrap aluminum smelting equipment market. In-depth research on the current market environment of scrap aluminum smelting equipment and customer demand trends, to occupy the market in advance and gain a first-mover advantage. Because of this, a large number of excellent scrap aluminum smelting equipment brands have risen rapidly and gradually become leaders in the industry.
