Scrap Preheaters & Dryers
High-Turn-Down, High-Velocity Systems for Scrap Drying & Preheating
Stelter & Brinck scrap preheaters are designed to dry and preheat scrap material as part of the melting process. These self-contained systems can be configured for installation above material conveyors or weigh feeders used for preheating.
Scrap preheaters combine high-velocity burner systems with high-airflow drying capability and high energy input to promote efficient drying and preheating of the material. Preheated scrap can provide a hot charge to the melting process and may help reduce melting time and support production throughput, depending on operating conditions.
