Denova Thermal Partners with Zhonglian Zhongxin to Secure 100-Ton Aluminum Melting Furnace Project in Korea

Denova Thermal Technology (Suzhou) Co., Ltd. (“Denova”) and Suzhou Zhonglian Zhongxin Thermal Technology Co., Ltd. have jointly secured a major 100-ton aluminum alloy melting furnace project in Korea.

Following nearly three quarters of technical evaluation, solution development, and commercial discussions, the Denova-Zhonglian Consortium was selected for the project among established equipment suppliers from Germany, Italy, Korea, and other international markets.

The project represents an important milestone in Denova’s development of large-scale aluminum melting and integrated thermal systems, while also marking further progress in the company’s international market expansion.

Strong Collaboration Behind the Project

Throughout the bidding and technical development process, the two companies worked closely across engineering, project planning, and customer communication.

The consortium conducted nearly 20-in-person technical meetings and developed close to 10 iterations of the technical proposal, covering process calculations, 3D modelling, system configuration, simulation, and technical verification.

According to Mr. Jun Cao of Denova Thermal Technology, the project reflects the combined engineering capabilities and close cooperation of both companies.

“This project is the result of extensive technical development, repeated engineering validation, and close coordination between all parties. It also demonstrates our ability to respond to increasingly complex requirements in large-scale aluminum melting projects.”

A 100-Ton-Scale Integrated Project

Under the project scope, the consortium will provide the 100-ton main melting furnace and undertake overall production-line planning and implementation, including the integration of supporting equipment and systems from multiple international suppliers.

Th furnace system is designed for a melting capacity of up to 10 tons per hour, with the complete project requiring large-scale engineering coordination in structure, automation, transportation, installation, and system integration.

The furnace itself will weigh more than 500 tons, while its total operating weight is expected to exceed 600 tons when fully loaded. Transportation of the complete project equipment is expected to require more than 40 containers.

The project has now officially entered the implementation phase, with engineering and project activities progressing according to plan.

Expanding Denova’s Large-Scale Thermal Engineering Capabilities

The successful award of the project further expands Denova’s capabilities across a broad range of aluminum processing applications, from precision dosing and molten metal management to large-scale melting and integrated production-line solutions.

It also demonstrates Denova’s growing ability to support international customers with complex, customized thermal engineering projects requiring cross-border coordination and system integration.

Looking ahead, Denova will continue to advance its technologies in aluminum melting, molten metal treatment, dosing, thermal management, and integrated die-casting applications, while strengthening collaboration with global customers and industry partners.

Through continued engineering development and international cooperation, Denova aims to provide more efficient, reliable, and intelligent thermal solutions for aluminum and other non-ferrous metal manufacturing.
