Channel Induction Furnaces are a type of induction heating equipment used to heat metal materials in a controlled environment. They are often used in the production of steel, aluminum, and other metals. The furnace consists of an induction coil that is placed around a channel made from refractory material and filled with metal or alloy parts. The induction coil creates an alternating magnetic field which causes eddy currents to flow through the channel, heating up the metal parts inside.

What is Channel Induction Furnaces? Induction melting is quick and effective way of melting material, and it is often the initial stage in making a useful product. Induction melting furnaces may store charges with a volume ranging from that of a coffee mug to hundreds of tonnes of liquid metal by altering the shape of the induction coil. Additionally, our furnace can convert almost any metals and materials by varying frequency and power, including copper, copper-based alloys, iron, steel, and stainless-steel alloys. Each application's induction equipment is specifically created to perform effectively. Inductive stirring is a significant benefit of induction melting. In an induction furnace, electricity produced by an electromagnetic field melt or heats the metal charge material. This field also causes the solution to move when the metal melts. We refer to this as inductive stirring. This continuous action naturally alloys the solution, resulting in a more uniform mix. The size of the furnace, the force applied to the metal, the frequency of the electromagnetic field, and the kind and quantity of metal in the furnace all affect how much stirring occurs. If necessary, the inductive stirring intensity in each specific furnace can be changed for specialized purposes. Types of furnaces 1. Coreless Induction Furnaces 2. Channel Induction Furnaces The primary induction coil is twisted around a magnetic unique iron core in the shape of a ring that makes up the induction unit. The secondary component of this construction, which consists of the loops of molten metal, creates a straightforward transformer.
The metal circulates into the furnace's main well because of the heat produced within the loop. The movement of the molten metal gives the melt a helpful stirring motion. Low-melting-point alloys are frequently melted in channel induction furnaces, which can also serve as a holding and superheating device. A steel casing lined with refractory houses the molten metal in a channel induction furnace. Horizontal and vertical channel furnaces are the two variations. Vertical furnaces may be lined with brick, castable, or dry-vibration refractory, whereas horizontal furnaces are lined with brick refractory. The inductor(s) in a channel-type furnaces can be mounted at the sides, bottom, or both furnaces. This provides excellent compatibility with syphon methods in addition to providing nearly limitless design options for furnace vessels. Additionally, channel- type furnaces in copper melting conditions produce energy reductions of nearly 100 kWh/t compared to coreless furnaces. Features a.) 70 kW to 1000 kW of power b.)
