Magnetic hydrodynamic stirrers of aluminium alloys in holding and melting furnaces
Systems for non-channel MHD-stirring of aluminium alloys have been supplied to aluminium smelters and metallurgical plants of Russia by RPC Magnetic hydrodynamics Ltd. for more than 20 years already. By the present time we have commissioned more than 50 systems,

Description
Since 2009 we have been supplying our equipment abroad through our exclusive partner, ALTEK EUROPE Ltd (the UK) under Siber-Force trademark. More than 30 systems have been supplied to various world aluminium manufacturers (Hydro, Novelis, Sapa, Alcan and lots of others).
The main functional purpose of a MHD-stirrer is its capability of solving the following problems:
— providing the uniformity of temperature and chemical composition all over a furnace bath;
— acceleration of solid charge melting after its addition to molten metal of a furnace;
— dissolution of heavy metallic components of the melt.
In general, application of MHD-stirrers in preparation of alloys in a holding furnace enables to:
— increase productivity of furnaces with the capacities from 5 to 120 tons by 25%;
— reduce gas consumption by 15%;
— reduce dross formation by 25%;
— reduce expenses on charging, manual tools and manual labour up to 50%;
— provide high reliability of the system due to the absence of contact with metal, moving parts and lack of water-cooling of an inductor itself.
— automate alloy preparation process.
At present time RPC Magnetic hydrodynamics Ltd. succesfully implements turnkey projects including designing, fabrication and supply of MHD-stirrers in accordance with Customer's specific requirements. These stirrers are able to be installed on existing holding furnaces as well as brand new holding furnaces.
