Carrier furnace feeders and blast charge feeders provide a safer and more precise loading option for blast and melt deck applications.
Our heavy-duty design allows for 24/7, year-round operation with minimal maintenance. All of our furnace feeders and blast charge feeding equipment is custom engineered to fit your exact needs.
Carrier furnace charge feeders:
Carrier furnace charge feeders can be designed to feed your Cupola or Induction furnace. Our furnace feeders can provide precise metered flow for increased efficiency as well as general overall safety. Carrier can design for large and small capacity furnaces as well as provide low maintenance equipment.
Features of Carrier furnace charge feeders include:
- Heavy-duty feeder drive system
- Optional liners with noise reducing backing
- Load cells with readout
- Fume hood for a safer / cleaner environment
- Multi-axis trolleys
- Retention gates
- Optional control packages
Carrier blast feeders:
Carrier blast feeding systems can pay for themselves by automating your system and reducing your manpower. The blast feeders can be mounted on trolleys to feed multiple blast machines and to accommodate for layout restraints. Other options such as flop gates, load cells, and double indexing can be accommodated as well. Carrier’s design has proven to be the heaviest in the industry reducing your maintenance and downtime.
All equipment is custom engineered to fit your exact needs!
Furnace Feeders FAQs
What is a furnace feeder and blast charge feeder used for?
Furnace and blast charge feeders provide a safer and more precise loading option for blast and melt deck applications into a high-temperature cupola or induction furnaces while maintaining stable production conditions.
What materials can furnace feeders handle?
Carrier furnace feeders are commonly used to feed foundry charge materials, scrap metal and castings, dross, sand, minerals, and other bulk solids into melting or thermal processing systems.
How do furnace feeders improve furnace efficiency?
Carrier’s furnace feeders automate material handling, which enables continuous, metered charging. This reduces energy consumption and labor costs while minimizing heat loss from open furnace doors.
Are Carrier furnace feeders designed for high-temperature environments?
Yes. Carrier furnace feeders are engineered with durable, heat-resistant components that operate reliably in demanding thermal processing applications.
Can furnace feeders be integrated into existing furnace systems?
Absolutely. Carrier engineers custom-design furnace feeders to integrate with existing furnace layouts, material handling systems, and plant operating requirements.
