1. Overview of the Casting Furnace
What is a Casting Furnace?
A casting furnace is specialized equipment designed to melt metals such as copper and aluminum efficiently and precisely. This cutting-edge furnace, powered by advanced electromagnetic resonance heating technology, offers significant advantages in energy efficiency and melting speed. It can melt one ton of copper with just 300 kWh and one ton of aluminum with only 350 kWh. Additionally, this furnace uses an air cooling system instead of a water-cooling system, making installation simpler and operational maintenance more convenient.
Key Features:
- Energy Efficient: 90%+ energy utilization
- Air Cooling System: No complex water setup
- Optional Tilt Mechanism: Available in both electric and manual options
- Quick and Uniform Melting
2. Core Technology: Electromagnetic Resonance Heating
How does Electromagnetic Resonance Heating work?
Electromagnetic resonance heating directly converts electrical energy into heat within the metal. By using electromagnetic resonance, this furnace minimizes energy loss associated with conduction or convection, reaching energy utilization rates of over 90%. This high-efficiency heating means faster, consistent melts with reduced energy consumption.
3. Precision Temperature Control with PID System
The PID (Proportional-Integral-Derivative) temperature control system continuously monitors furnace temperature, comparing it with the target. If there’s any temperature deviation, the PID system automatically adjusts the heating power. This setup ensures stable temperatures, which is critical for maintaining metal quality and preventing defects.
Advantages of PID Control:
- Consistent Quality: Minimizes temperature fluctuations, ensuring uniform melts
- Suitable for Sensitive Melts: Ideal for precision casting applications
- Improved Efficiency: Reduced power wastage
4. Advanced Variable Frequency Start-up Protection
To reduce the stress on the equipment and power system, our casting furnace employs a variable frequency start-up mechanism. This feature limits the initial surge of current when starting, which helps extend the lifespan of both the furnace and the power grid it’s connected to.
