STØTEK has combined the accuracy from the dosing unit technology with immersion heating, in the DOSOTHERM® DTI. The combination gives improved productivity, high metal quality, reduced metal loss, lower maintenance and operating costs and dosing accuracy not yet seen in the market.

Featuring our unique, patented dosing system, where only the ceramic dosing unit is pressurized for dosing metal, the DTI DOSOTHERM® is a high efficiency-dosing furnace for high quality aluminum parts like structure parts.

Increase productivity to maximum output with faster cycle time/dosing time, filling and cleaning the dosing furnace during production.

Due to the low volume required, the use of nitrogen or argon as the pressure medium is practical resulting in extremely clean metal.

All these benefits can help to reduce the total cost from 40% to 80 %

Benefit

•  Very high efficiency – up to 80% reduction in energy costs*
•  Very low oxidation – up to 95% reduction in metal loss**
•  High metal control – not only no gas exchange in a DTI but also low surface temperature
•  Extremely low air consumption for dosing
•  Dosing accuracy better than +/- 1%
•  Metal temperature accuracy of +/- 1-degree C
•  Excellent lining life – typically greater than 10 years.
•  Very low furnace shall temperature
•  Excellent heating element life
•  Optional gate baffles for filtration
•  Hydraulic height adjustment and back tilting
•  Cleaning, filling and a majority of wear parts are replaceable during operation
•  Better metal quality by using filter under the dosing pump
•  Increase safety with lower fill height – same or lower than the shut sleeve height
•  Option: operate with degassing stone and protecting gas for dosing
•  Providing strong, local customer support
*  When compared with an open well furnace with ladle
** Nitrogen or argon supply are required
