Mechatherm are very pleased to announce that we have been awarded a Contract from Hulamin Rolled Products located in Pietermaritzburg, South Africa for Melting and Holding furnaces for their FRR Optimisation Project. The contract will consist of a 55T capacity top loading melting furnace fired with the latest state of the art regenerative burners for a maximum melt rate of 24T/hr complete with an integrated Electro-Magnetic Stirrer and dedicated lid lift crane. Molten metal will be transferred to a 57T tilting holding furnace before feeding metal to an existing upgraded VDC machine. The new equipment will allow Hulamin to recycle and cast 70,000 T/annum of finished rolling ingot.

Mechatherm will work with Hulamin to provide bespoke furnace designs to fit in and work alongside several items of existing equipment. We believe the furnaces will be amongst the most technologically advanced in the world combining the experiences and operating knowledge of Hulamin and the casthouse furnace references of Mechatherm. The first cast is scheduled for end of November 2010.
