The containers of asbestos waste are placed on an automated container carrier that can enter confined areas. The carrier passes through a three-door airlock fitted with a washing and decontamination station. The waste is then tipped onto the feed conveyor for the grinder, and the ground waste is then directed towards four storage containers according to the type of waste (silica, calcium, combustible, gypsum).
\nThe loading conveyor for the furnace is simultaneously fed by the four ground waste storage containers. The controllers regulate the proportions of the four types of asbestos waste, as well as the requirements of the furnaces, making it possible to achieve a fine, even mixture, and thus ensure good asbestos waste fusibility.<\/div><\/div>[\/vc_column_inner][vc_column_inner column_width_percent=”100″ gutter_size=”3″ back_color=”color-xsdn” overlay_alpha=”50″ medium_width=”0″ mobile_visibility=”yes” mobile_width=”0″ shift_x=”0″ shift_y=”0″ shift_y_down=”0″ z_index=”0″ width=”1\/6″][\/vc_column_inner][\/vc_row_inner][\/vc_column][vc_column column_width_percent=”100″ overlay_alpha=”50″ gutter_size=”3″ medium_width=”0″ mobile_width=”0″ shift_x=”0″ shift_y=”0″ shift_y_down=”0″ z_index=”0″ css_animation=”right-t-left” width=”1\/2″][vc_single_image media=”148″ media_width_percent=”100″ alignment=”center” el_class=”img-neg-zindex”][\/vc_column][\/vc_row][vc_row unlock_row_content=”yes” row_height_percent=”0″ overlay_alpha=”50″ equal_height=”yes” gutter_size=”0″ column_width_percent=”100″ shift_y=”0″ z_index=”0″][vc_column column_width_percent=”100″ overlay_alpha=”50″ gutter_size=”3″ medium_width=”0″ mobile_width=”0″ shift_x=”0″ shift_y=”0″ shift_y_down=”0″ z_index=”0″ css_animation=”left-t-right” animation_delay=”400″ width=”1\/2″][vc_single_image media=”149″ media_width_percent=”100″ alignment=”center” el_class=”img-neg-zindex”][\/vc_column][vc_column column_width_percent=”100″ position_vertical=”middle” back_color=”color-xsdn” overlay_alpha=”50″ gutter_size=”3″ medium_width=”0″ mobile_width=”0″ shift_x=”0″ shift_y=”0″ shift_y_down=”0″ z_index=”0″ css_animation=”right-t-left” animation_delay=”400″ width=”1\/2″ el_class=”traitement-block”][vc_row_inner row_inner_height_percent=”0″ overlay_alpha=”50″ equal_height=”yes” gutter_size=”0″ shift_y=”0″ z_index=”0″ el_class=”bloc-neg-left”][vc_column_inner column_width_percent=”100″ position_vertical=”middle” align_horizontal=”align_center” gutter_size=”3″ back_color=”color-xsdn” overlay_alpha=”50″ medium_width=”0″ mobile_visibility=”yes” mobile_width=”0″ shift_x=”0″ shift_y=”0″ shift_y_down=”0″ z_index=”0″ width=”1\/6″][\/vc_column_inner][vc_column_inner column_width_percent=”100″ position_vertical=”middle” gutter_size=”3″ back_color=”color-xsdn” overlay_alpha=”50″ medium_width=”0″ mobile_width=”0″ shift_x=”0″ shift_y=”0″ shift_y_down=”0″ z_index=”0″ width=”4\/6″]

The asbestos waste is continuously added to the fusion chamber, to bring it up to a fusion temperature of between 1,400\u00b0 C and 1,600\u00b0 C. The asbestos fibres are totally destroyed.
\nThe molten material is then progressively drawn off from the smelting furnace. The molten vitrified product (called Cofalit\u00ae) is poured into cast iron ingot mould.<\/div><\/div>[\/vc_column_inner][vc_column_inner column_width_percent=”100″ gutter_size=”3″ back_color=”color-xsdn” overlay_alpha=”50″ medium_width=”0″ mobile_visibility=”yes” mobile_width=”0″ shift_x=”0″ shift_y=”0″ shift_y_down=”0″ z_index=”0″ width=”1\/6″][\/vc_column_inner][\/vc_row_inner][\/vc_column][\/vc_row][vc_row unlock_row_content=”yes” row_height_percent=”0″ overlay_alpha=”50″ equal_height=”yes” gutter_size=”0″ column_width_percent=”100″ shift_y=”0″ z_index=”0″][vc_column column_width_percent=”100″ position_vertical=”middle” back_color=”color-xsdn” overlay_alpha=”50″ gutter_size=”3″ medium_width=”0″ mobile_width=”0″ shift_x=”0″ shift_y=”0″ shift_y_down=”0″ z_index=”0″ css_animation=”left-t-right” animation_delay=”200″ width=”1\/2″ el_class=”traitement-block”][vc_row_inner row_inner_height_percent=”0″ overlay_alpha=”50″ equal_height=”yes” gutter_size=”0″ shift_y=”0″ z_index=”0″ el_class=”bloc-neg”][vc_column_inner column_width_percent=”100″ position_vertical=”middle” align_horizontal=”align_center” gutter_size=”3″ back_color=”color-xsdn” overlay_alpha=”50″ medium_width=”0″ mobile_visibility=”yes” mobile_width=”0″ shift_x=”0″ shift_y=”0″ shift_y_down=”0″ z_index=”0″ width=”1\/6″][\/vc_column_inner][vc_column_inner column_width_percent=”100″ position_vertical=”middle” gutter_size=”3″ back_color=”color-xsdn” overlay_alpha=”50″ medium_width=”0″ mobile_width=”0″ shift_x=”0″ shift_y=”0″ shift_y_down=”0″ z_index=”0″ css_animation=”right-t-left” width=”4\/6″]
