What are the key components and features of a Car Battery Lead Melting Cupola Furnace?

The recycling of automobile batteries is of great significance in modern industry, especially in the recycling of lead-acid batteries, where the melting of lead is one of the key steps. Lead melting cupola is specially used to melt the lead in waste batteries and reuse it in the production process.

1. Main components of lead melting cupola

The furnace body is the core part of the cupola, which is made of high-temperature resistant steel or refractory materials and can withstand chemical reactions and heat loss in high temperature environments. The interior of the lead melting cupola of Hengju Machinery is lined with refractory bricks to extend the service life and avoid damage to the furnace wall caused by high temperature.

The feeding system is mainly used to continuously add lead waste, flux and fuel to the furnace. The system includes a feeder and a feeding door to ensure that the materials are evenly fed into the furnace to ensure the continuity and efficiency of the melting process.

The combustion system is the core of providing heat energy and consists of a fuel injector, an air preheater and a combustion control device. The fuel is usually coal, natural gas or heavy oil, and the high temperature generated by combustion is used to melt the lead.

Since lead melting produces harmful fumes and dust, the cupola is equipped with an advanced flue gas purification system. This system usually includes dust collectors, filters and scrubbers, which can effectively remove harmful substances such as lead dust and sulfur dioxide in the flue gas, ensure that environmental emission standards are met, and reduce pollution to the environment.

The cooling system is mainly used for cooling the furnace body and cooling and molding the molten lead. Water cooling or air cooling is usually used to maintain the normal operating temperature of the equipment to prevent overheating and damage to the furnace body. In addition, the cooling system can also speed up the process of condensing the lead liquid into ingots and improve production efficiency.

Modern lead melting cupolas are equipped with automatic control systems for adjusting temperature, controlling fuel supply, monitoring emission concentrations, etc. Through real-time data monitoring and automatic adjustment, the control system can ensure the stability and efficiency of the production process and reduce the risk of manual operation.

2. Characteristics of lead melting cupolas

Efficient melting capacity

The cupola has an efficient lead melting capacity, which can usually reach the required temperature in a short time and quickly convert lead waste into lead liquid. For large-scale lead recycling and processing needs, the cupola shows high production efficiency and meets the requirements of industrial production.

Low pollution emissions

Due to the advanced flue gas purification system, the lead melting cupola can effectively filter and treat harmful substances, reducing the emission of pollutants such as sulfur dioxide and lead dust.

High degree of automation

Many lead melting cupolas use automated control systems that can accurately adjust parameters such as melting temperature and fuel supply, making the production process safer and more stable.

Low energy consumption and thermal efficiency

The lead melting cupola can efficiently utilize fuel and reduce energy consumption by optimizing the combustion system design. The use of air preheating and heat exchange devices further improves thermal efficiency and reduces operating costs.

Strong adaptability

The cupola is suitable for the treatment of different types of lead waste, including automotive battery shells, waste lead plates, lead alloys, etc. The adaptability of the equipment makes it widely used in various lead-acid battery recycling scenarios, helping companies to recycle lead resources efficiently and at low cost.

As an important equipment for automotive battery lead recycling, the lead melting cupola has become the preferred equipment for lead resource recycling in the industry with its high efficiency melting capacity, low pollution emissions, and high degree of automation.
