Key Features
Safe Charging
Enclosed cabin and remote-controlled charging trolleys that distance operators from hot metal and fume hazards — workplace safety is significantly improved.
Fast Cycle Time
Optimised charging profile and high-capacity basket design shorten furnace feed time and increase melting efficiency.
Automatic Dross Removal
Mechanical dross removal system instead of manual skimming; reduces metal loss and eliminates operator fatigue.
Line Integration
PLC-controlled systems are integrated into the melting furnace automation; charging and cleaning cycles are managed according to the process recipe.

We design rail-mounted or wheeled charging trolleys and fully automatic charging systems for the safe and efficient loading of scrap aluminium, ingots and tapping material into the furnace.
What matters when selecting a charging trolley?
Furnace capacity, material type (scrap / ingot / tapping) and automation level are the key factors. We offer a wide range of solutions — from simple manually driven vehicles to fully automatic charging units with PLC control and weighing systems.
| Charging Capacity | 500 kg – 10.000 kg (talebe göre) |
| Drive System | Rail-mounted / rubber-wheeled |
| Control | Cabin panel + remote control |
| Weighing System | Optional — load cell |
| Basket Type | Fixed / tilting / twin-basket |
| Control Mode | Manual / semi-automatic / fully automatic PLC |
| Furnace Compatibility | All Gümen furnaces + retrofit |
- Enclosed operator cabin — hot metal and fume isolation
- Tilting basket design for complete and controlled discharge into the furnace mouth
- Weighing integration for charge quantity recording and process tracking
- Can be applied as a retrofit to existing furnaces
- Included in melting automation via PLC integration
Systems that mechanically remove dross accumulated on the surface of melting furnaces; minimise metal loss and improve operator safety.
What is the advantage compared to manual skimming?
Mechanical dross removal provides lower metal loss, less operator fatigue and a repeatable process compared to manual operation. When included in the automatic cycle, furnace efficiency improves directly.
| System Type | Rail-mounted mechanical skimmer |
| Drive | Hydraulic / electric motor |
