Furnace Skimming and Cleaning Vehicles designed and manufactured by T. T. Tomorrow Technology can provide the following benefits:

• Increase the furnace utilisation and lower gas consumption by reducing the time required to de-cross and clean the furnace
• Provide greatly improved heat transfer by removing the dross acting as thermal insulation on the molten metal, with ease and precision
• Reduce the amount of aluminium removed with the dross during skimming operations
• Avoid dross, sludge and metal build-up that progressively reduce the furnace capacity
• Increase the speed of the cold charge melting cycle, as a result of the ability to mix and submerge scrap into the melt
• Prolong refractory lining life by avoiding the thermal stress caused by lengthy tending procedures
• Reduce the manpower required to carry out the furnace-tending operations
• Improve casthouse safety by removing the operator from the proximity of furnace door during tending operations
• Eliminate the need for forklift trucks to operate in front of the furnace
