Fives Solios have developed an innovative new generation electromagnetic metal moving system called GENIOS that can be incorporated within new installations or retrofitted to existing furnaces. It can be fitted simply and safely to a wide range of furnace types using a patented modular interface and mounting concept. The prototype system is being trialed on a 70 tonne capacity static holding furnace at a large modern re - melting facility in Europe. In this particular case, the system is configured to stir, aid silicon dissolution and transfer to a dedicated continuous casting machine. The trials are in progress and expected to be completed during 2011. This paper will give an overview of the development of the concept and technology. It will also include a brief review of the performance of the prototype and general operational experiences together with comparisons with traditional technology.
