Energy efficiency considerations for aluminium and zinc crucibles

Improving the energy efficiency of foundry operations reduces both energy costs and carbon emissions. It’s a vital win-win for foundries under pressure to reduce their environmental impact, while staying cost competitive. Foundries should therefore consider switching to energy-efficiency crucibles, such as the ENERTEK crucible range from Foseco, even if this means challenging traditional price-based purchasing decision-making.

Originally designed for aluminium applications but now also available for zinc oxide production, ENERTEK energy-efficient crucibles from Foseco are formulated and manufactured to capture the benefits outlined above. They are available in most standard shapes and capacities and can be designed to fit most crucible furnaces without changes to current operating practice. Customized solutions are also possible.
