Induction Furnace

The Induction Furnace represents an electric furnace in which heat is applied by induction heating of metal. Utilizing the principle of electromagnetic induction, the furnace delivers rapid and direct energy transfer to the material, enabling controlled and uniform melting across a wide range of metal types and batch sizes. These furnaces can be designed in different capacities and can be used to melt precious metals, PGMs, iron, steel, copper, and aluminum.

The Induction Furnace offers significant advantages over other melting technologies. They operate in a cleaner manner, provide higher energy efficiency, and allow for easier and more precise control of the melting process. Unlike electric arc furnaces or other conventional melting systems, induction furnaces do not require arc formation, combustion, or ignition. Since the process occurs without combustion, temperature control becomes much more manageable. This precise control enables operators to maintain optimal melting conditions, minimizing the loss of valuable alloying elements and ensuring higher quality in the final product.

Ideally suited for applications in metallurgy, casting, and recycling, our induction furnace system ensures minimal heat loss, high energy efficiency, and exceptional process repeatability. The furnace offers the possibility to use different types of crucibles, including graphite, clagtaphite, silicon carbide, and zirconia. Automatic temperature control is achieved through an immersion thermocouple or optical pyrometer. An automatic turn-off function for the furnace and cooling plant is included if not used for a certain amount of time. Pouring operations in induction furnaces can be performed through manual crucible extraction, handwheel-assisted tilting, or fully automated hydraulic tilting systems.
