Small Medium Frequency Induction Furnace

How it works

The unit uses medium frequency induction heating and is suitable for melting steel, iron, copper, aluminum, brass, bronze, stainless steel and various alloy metals.

Commonly used in small foundries, metal recycling factories, machinery processing workshops, laboratory research, jewelry smelting, hardware casting and small-batch metal smelting production. It perfectly meets the smelting demands of small-scale production, sample trial production and non-ferrous metal recycling processing.

An induction furnace melts by putting the metal inside the magnetic field of a coil. Alternating current in the coil induces currents in the charge itself, so the metal heats from the inside out and the melt is stirred electromagnetically as it forms. There is no flame and no combustion gas in contact with the metal, which is why losses and gas pickup are lower than in a fuel-fired furnace.

Frequency sets the character of the melt. Medium frequency couples efficiently into a charge of mixed piece size and gives the stirring that homogenises alloy, while higher frequency concentrates power into smaller volumes. Power supply, coil, capacitor bank and cooling are designed as one system — changing furnace size without changing the power pack is what produces disappointing melt rates.

Key features

• Compact & Space-saving:
• Small overall size, simple structure, flexible placement, no large foundation required, suitable for limited workshop space and mobile use
• High Melting Efficiency & Energy Saving:
• Adopts IGBT intelligent power module, high electrothermal conversion rate, fast heating and melting speed, effectively reducing power consumption and production cost
• Stable Performance & Precise Control:
• Equipped with intelligent PLC control system, adjustable heating power and melting temperature. Electromagnetic stirring function ensures uniform metal liquid composition and stable casting quality

How to choose induction melting

• Start from the pour weight and the melt time you need, then work back to installed power; furnace capacity alone tells you the crucible volume, not the melting rate.
• Check the transformer and the supply you have. A furnace that needs more kVA than the site can deliver is a site upgrade, not an equipment purchase.
• Decide on tilt arrangement (hydraulic or manual), because it determines the pouring layout and the ladle handling around the furnace.
• Plan cooling as part of the package. Closed-loop cooling is what allows the power supply to run continuously without depending on the local water quality.
