Cal-Miser's Origins & Growth

 

Cal-Miser Aluminum Systems was founded in 1984 by Andrew Debrey, who worked in the die casting industry for more than 50 years and later owned three casting operations in Illinois and Iowa, along with the Cal-Miser furnace brand. In November 2008, he passed away leaving the furnace business to his son, Drew.

The senior Debrey started building custom furnaces in the early 1960s for his own plants since high efficiency furnaces were not available. Also, overall furnace durability and longevity were not generally acceptable to him.

Debrey patented the design of impinging the flame directly on the metal, which transfers heat from its source directly to the metal. This also keeps the heat off the refractory walls and prolongs the life of the furnace -- unlike the old reverb furnaces in which the refractory walls were heated to radiate heat to the metal. In summary, impinging the flame directly into the metal gives a high efficiency and durable furnace that will provide years of maintenance free production.
