2001 Aluminum King AK8000 Sweat Furnace

• S/N unknown
• Propane Fuel
• Ran through April of 2021
• 6-7 months of brick left inside the refractory before repairs will be necessary
• Added preheat chamber
  • The preheat chamber that we installed greatly increased the melting capacity of the furnace. Prior to the modification, working 5 days a week (8-10 hours a day), we were producing approximately 120,000 lbs per month on average. After the modification, production exceeded 140,000 lbs on average and many months was well over 160,000 lbs. This modification produced an increased production of 20-35% without any increase in fuel costs!
• In addition to the furnace, we have the following accessories that will go with the sale:
  • 7 (seven) Alcoa low profile cast steel sow molds with a 2,000 lb capacity each
  • 10 "ears" (2 used per mold) that assist with the sow removal from the mold without dumping the mold over
  • 2 sample molds to make sample discs on the sows
  • 2 ladles to scoop the molten aluminum to fill the sample molds
  • 1 extra furnace plug
  • 1 box of Amcor furnace plug cones
  • Miscellaneous refractory supplies for repairs
  • Spare parts for the burners and controls
