Induction billet heater
max. 900 kW | InductoForge®
Newelco
Standard InductoForge system offers a modular billet heater with interchangeable power modules, each of which contains its integral coil set and bus bar connection. Universal standard high efficiency induction coils are used on every section reducing the customer's spare parts inventory requirements. On three-module systems and above, 12-pulse rectification and standby power are standard. Standby power provides an accurate temperature holding cycle using individual module power level control for up to 20 minutes.
InductoForge systems feature iHAZ control. iHAZ control revolutionises today's forging process and requires no operator set up or intervention. The customer's throughput in parts per hour (PPH) and final temperature requirements are simply entered into the iHAZ control for a specific billet diameter and material. iHAZ not only calculates the process requirements for power and speed, but it also optimises each power module to ensure it produces the required temperature profile as efficiently and as quickly as possible. InductoForge uses 500Kw power modules that are capable of running at a wide range of frequencies from 500Hz to 6kHz.
