Heated Cover Systems

Heated cover systems incorporate heaters as modules in trough cover sections, furnace lids, crucibles, filter boxes, low pressure diecast covers, holders, etc. Heated covers allow for the preheat of refractories prior to the introduction of metal, to retain the metal’s heat during transfer, and to hold the molten metal at temperature during periods of inactivity. In addition, the heated cover system keeps refractory surfaces hot, thus avoiding refractory thermal shock.
