Furnace for melting metals

摘要

The invention relates to metallurgy. The furnace which is the subject of the invention is of the type provided with a lining, a crucible 2 divided by at least one partition 3 into a melting chamber 4 and an accumulation chamber 5 placed in mutual communication and equipped with heating elements 6, as well as with pumps for casting the metal, mounted in the accumulation chamber 5, and is characterised in that provision is made in the melting chamber 4 for an intermediate enclosure 7 with a perforated base 10 and an opening for the introduction of the charge, as well as a heating pump 8 whose outlet channel 9 for the metal is introduced into the intermediate enclosure 7, the pumps for casting the metal being heating pumps 13.
