Abstract:
A furnace as described in this invention comprises a temperature regulating portion to assist in melting a non-ferrous material, such as an aluminium, and to reserve said material for the subsequent casting or injection molding procedure. The furnace provides a mean to eliminate an oxide, such as iron oxide, which generally floats on the top layer of a molten material inside a melting portion and a heating portion by preventing the flow of said oxide into the temperature regulating portion. A sensor or any detector that can detect the level of the molten material is utilized to measure the surface level of said molten material. A temperature regulating burner, which is a flat flame type, is utilized on the ceiling of the temperature regulating portion in order to prevent any oxidation reaction to occur as well as to reduce the concentration of oxygen inside the portion.

Claim (Index 1):
A furnace wherein the furnace comprises the following components:\n a temperature regulating portion ( 3 ) for storing a molten material wherein the temperature regulating portion ( 3 ) comprises a lid ( 16 ) with a material insert channel ( 17 ); a heating portion ( 5 ) below the temperature regulating portion ( 3 ); a melting portion ( 6 ) below the heating portion ( 5 ) wherein a molten material from the melting portion ( 6 ) shall be sent to the temperature regulating portion ( 3 ) and be discharged from an exit channel ( 4 ); an inclined hearth ( 15 ) wherein the upper part of the inclined hearth ( 15 ) comprises a burner ( 9 ); a connecting passage ( 2 ) of the temperature regulating portion ( 3 ) which characterizes by an inclined or curved bottom and which receives the molten material ( 1 a ) from the melting portion ( 6 ) which is connected to the lower part of the heating portion ( 5 ) and a molten material heating portion ( 7 ) by the inclined hearth ( 15 ); and a separator ( 10 ) wherein the connecting passage ( 2 ) is formed and wherein the separator ( 10 ) comprises a lower edge ( 13 ) which is located below the molten material ( 1 a ) inside the molten material heating portion ( 7 ) and the molten material ( 1 b ) inside the temperature regulating portion ( 3 ).
