Furnaces represent a significant proportion of the variable costs of casthouses and many furnaces are not run optimally which results in poor energy efficiency, increased costs and environmental footprint. Our furnace energy audit packages can identify hundreds of thousands of dollars in potential savings for a single casthouse and include the following:
- Prework baselining of your furnace specific consumption and monitoring capability,
- On site audit to identify improvement opportunities,
- Implementation of key performance indicator tracking,
- Complete audit report with recommendations,
- On site work often identifies quick wins and payback period can be very short, especially for older furnaces which have not been looked after like they should have.

Intelligent Furnace Management and Batching
Some casthouses still rely solely on operator experience to management temperature, time of alloying and batching calculations. This generates variable batching times between operators, greater chances of out of spec furnaces and reduced throughput. We can help you implement an intelligent furnace management and batching system which will
Some casthouses still rely solely on operator experience to management temperature, time of alloying and batching calculations. This generates variable batching times between operators, greater chances of out of spec furnaces and reduced throughput. We can help you implement an intelligent furnace management and batching system which will reduce variability between operators and greatly improve in-spec 1st time and throughput.
- Requires operator involvement for change management and greater acceptance,
- System is custom built for specific production requirements and reality of casthouse,
- Requires involvement of in-house IT and/or PLC programmer or identification of additional external resource.
