Abstract: The invention relates to a burner with a refractory burner body 1, 2, 3 for burning liquid or aerosol fuels, in particular, gaseous fuels. With the aim of reducing NOx emissions, the burner body comprises a gas nozzle 7, 9, 10, 11 and a plurality of air nozzles 4, 6, which are at least partially formed as integral mouldings in the burner body and flow out on a front side 16 of the burner body. Here, the air nozzles are symmetrically arranged around the gas nozzle and diverge at an angle ? to the gas nozzle. Likewise, the invention relates to a method for burning liquid or aerosol fuels, in particular, gaseous fuels with reduced NOx emissions.

Abstract: A multi-chamber melting furnace for melting scrap of non-ferrous metals, in particular aluminum scrap, including a first shaft furnace with a shaft for charge material, in which impurities of the charge material can be removed, and at least one furnace chamber which is connected to the shaft of the first shaft furnace and has a first heat supply device, wherein at least one second shaft furnace with a shaft for charge material, in which shaft impurities of the charge material can be removed, the furnace chamber being connected to the shaft of the second shaft furnace and being arranged between the shafts in such a manner that the furnace chamber forms a main melting chamber in which the molten bath is located during operation.

Abstract: A batch furnace for annealing material, in particular a single chamber furnace or single coil furnace, with a furnace housing. The batch furnace has a closable charging opening, a receiving chamber for receiving furnace material, and a device for convective heat transfer onto the furnace material by a heat transfer medium. The batch furnace includes at least one fan, which is arranged in the furnace housing, at least one heating device for the heat transfer medium and/or at least one inlet for an externally heated heat transfer medium, wherein the heating device and/or the inlet is arranged directly in front of the intake side or directly behind the pressure side of the fan or circumferentially in an annular gap between the fan and the furnace housing, and a receiving chamber for the furnace material, which is arranged on the pressure side of the fan.

Abstract: The present invention relates to a batch furnace for annealing material comprising a furnace housing which has a closable loading opening, a receiving chamber for furnace material and a device for convective heat transfer to the furnace material by a heat transfer medium, wherein the device for convective heat transfer comprises at least one heating device and at least one fan which is arranged in the furnace housing wherein the receiving chamber is arranged on the suction side of the fan and at least one nozzle array is arranged on the pressure side of the fan, wherein the nozzle array has a central opening which forms an intake duct of the fan and the nozzle array projects radially beyond the fan. The invention further relates to a method for heat treatment of a furnace material.

Abstract: A transporting apparatus for rolling ingots, having at least one travelling carriage, includes a tilting frame and a guide frame, wherein the tilting frame has at least one longitudinally displaceable transporting carriage with a rail section, which is intended for accommodating an ingot rest and, for the purpose of forming a rail extension, can be positioned collinearly in relation to a furnace rail, and the guide frame has at least one hook carriage, which can be moved essentially parallel to the transporting carriage and comprises at least one tiltable hook for engaging in the ingot rest.

Abstract: A method for crushing a metal dross block and/or metal extension uses a cable saw to at least tartly cut the metal dross block and/or metal extension.
