Melting furnace

pouringholdingchamber

The OTTO JUNKER channel-type induction furnace is used where liquid metal must be held, stored, superheated or poured in large quantities. Moreover, a large holding furnace can be used to equalize the carbon concentrations of different melts from a cupola. It is the perfect answer to any of the following requirements: meet varying molten metal demands of the mould line provide permanent supply of molten metal with maximum utilization of the melting plant ensure utilization of low night-time power tariff for electric melting irw-2_1240222555.jpg Essential benefits of the channel-type induction furnace Separate filling and pouring siphons Furnace filling and pouring operations may proceed at the same time No ingress of atmospheric oxygen, i.e., slag formation is reliably prevented Quickly replaceable, water-cooled inductors with directed flow are available with: single loop up to 1,200 kW double loop up to 2,800 kW Space-saving design of switchgear and control equipment relying on mains-frequency or advanced IGBT frequency converter technology Additional backward tilting feature facilitates slag removal from the bath surface
