Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This utility model relates to the technical field of recycled aluminum smelting, specifically to a furnace for smelting recycled aluminum ingots from waste aluminum. Background Technology
[0002] As is well known, aluminum is a highly corrosion-resistant, lightweight, and hard metallic material. In modern industry, aluminum is gradually replacing steel in the production and manufacturing of industrial equipment. Aluminum can be recycled and repeatedly cast without changing its physical properties. Using recycled aluminum not only improves the metal recycling rate but also reduces energy and water consumption by 95% compared to mining bauxite and electrolytically extracting pure aluminum, achieving significant energy and resource savings. Using recycled aluminum as an organic supplement to new aluminum can both meet the ever-increasing demand for aluminum in economic production and alleviate the over-exploitation of mineral resources.
[0003] When recycling aluminum, it is necessary to smelt it. Existing smelting furnaces do not have material crushing equipment. When smelting scrap aluminum, the materials are of different shapes and sizes, which makes it inconvenient to feed and smelt them, thus affecting the smelting efficiency. Therefore, a scrap aluminum recycling furnace is needed to improve the above problems. Utility Model Content

A stirring shaft 6 is fixedly mounted on the output end of the first motor 5. Multiple stirring rods 7 and multiple crushing blades 8 are fixedly mounted on the stirring shaft 6. When the first motor 5 is started, it provides power to drive the stirring shaft 6 to rotate, thereby causing the multiple stirring rods 7 and multiple crushing blades 8 to rotate. Through the cooperation of the multiple stirring rods 7 and multiple crushing blades 8, the material is crushed. In the crushing operation, a limit plate 14 is fixedly installed on the mounting plate 2, and the limit plate 14 is fixedly connected to the conveyor box 9.
