Heraeus Electro-Nite Co., the world’s largestdeveloper and producer of sensors for the mol-ten metal industry, will be exhibiting several sen-sors for the primary aluminum smelter.

The Cry-O-Therm(tm) “Superheat” sensor hasbeen developed to provide the potline with analmost instantaneous reading of the bath andliquidus temperatures. It is being shown that di-rect measurements of the liquidus temperaturein industrial cells by the Cry-O-Therm probe isclearly advantageous compared to the alterna-tive methods for determining the liquidus tempera-ture.

The Positherm-AL® Type “S” disposable ther-

mocouple and DT-280 digital temperature mea-suring system provide the potroom operator witha faster, more accurate, and more reliable tem-perature of the cryolite bath. The companiondatalogger allows the operator to store the infor-mation collected over the course of the day anddownload it directly into the computer at the endof his shift.

LEM HIGH CURRENT SYSTEMS#125Grove City, Ohio

Accurate measurement of electrical current iscritical to the metals industry. Relatively smallimprovements in measurement accuracy can sig-nificantly improve process visibility. Users needthis visibility to improve and optimize process ef-ficiencies to manage ultimately reduce costs.

The LEM LKP system provides the most ac-curate dc current measurement available inranges from 6kA to 500kA. For slightly less de-manding applications such as rectifier monitor-ing and control the new LEM LKAT system isavailable in application specific configurations upto 80kA and is easily installed in both new andretrofit applications. To monitor the power con-version process the new LEM RCEM systemtrends the “health” of high current rectifiers overtime. This enables the user to improve the effec-tiveness of preventative maintenance programs.It also provides assurance when using old rectifi-ers in capacity creep expansions. LEM, a globalleader in electrical measurement technology, hasbeen serving the metals industry for over thirtyyears and has built a global network of market-ing, application, sales and service support.

LOMA MACHINE MANUFACTURING#831New Rochelle, New York

The state of the art billet casting operation hasbeen designed and built by LOMA Machine ofNew York. The picture shows one of the LOMA“Easycast” installation at the end of a cast, withthe overhead crane removing five logs from thepit. Our “Easycast” Hot Top System of aluminumwas developed for the production of aluminumalloy extrusion billets. The unit is based on aclosed Mold System patented, and simultaneouscasting as many as over 100 multiple strands canbe cast in one set-up. Less than 1 percent of themetal is lost in the form of “gate” on top of thebillet, which is a great improvement compared tothe scrap loss involved in conventionally cast bil-let.

MASTER ALLOYS COMPANY#347Munster, Indiana

Master Alloys will be exhibiting its popular100% canned hardeners. The canned hardeneris 100% element in a pre-weighed, moisture-proofaluminum can. The element is not released intothe aluminum until it is under the melt which ne-gates any oxidation and results in very high re-coveries.

This unique way to alloy aluminum has manyadvantages over other forms of hardeners. Be-sides being pre-weighed and moisture proof asstated above, the product is easy to store; re-duces inventory; easy to use; fast dissolution; highrecoveries; free from contamination; and guar-anteed composition.

In addition to the can hardeners, Master Al-loys supplies grain refiners and specialty alloysto the aluminum industry.

Tableguard (easy-to-see, BLUE-COLORED)greatly extends casting-table refractory life, whilegiving inclusion-free pours, stopping drossbuildup, and allowing easy removal of anymispours. Transition Plate Coating (TPC) prod-ucts have been developed as the best,nonreactive coatings for this application. Ring-Seal is a totally nonwetting seal for transition-plate/graphite-ring joins.
