Multi-positional aluminum melting furnace and method for operating same

摘要

A tiltable rotary furnace system includes a tiltable rotary furnace which rotates about a central axis and pivots around a general horizontal axis similar to a typical tiltable rotary furnace. The tiltable rotary furnace and the rotating and pivoting mechanisms are mounted on a rotating platform. The rotating platform allows the furnace to be positioned with respect to other elements of the system rather than having to position the other elements of the system with respect to a stationary tiltable rotary furnace.
