FIELD: metallurgy.

SUBSTANCE: invention refers to non-ferrous metallurgy, particularly to installations for production of spongy titanium. The installation for magnesium-thermal production of spongy titanium consists of a reduction device with a bottom branch and cover and a draining facility with a valve; the reduction device is installed into a furnace equipped with electric heaters. The furnace consists of a jacket, of lining with channels supplying air into the furnace and withdrawing air from the furnace and of a bottom with an aperture for the draining facility. The installation also consists of pipes for supply of compressed air cooling the bottom branch and valve of the draining facility. Notably, the pipes supplying compressed air to cool the bottom branch and valve of the draining facility are installed in the aperture of the furnace bottom. From above the pipes for supply of compressed air cooling the bottom branch and the valve of the draining facility are perforated.

EFFECT: raised hour output of installation.
