Key Features

• Precision Induction Heating Technology: The system utilizes a high-frequency 5 kW induction generator that provides rapid and uniform heating of metallic charges, ensuring efficient energy transfer and minimizing processing times even at temperatures up to 1700°C.
• Automated Rotary Casting Mechanism: An integrated tilting function allows the molten material to be cast into the mold immediately and consistently, reducing the risk of premature solidification and ensuring high-quality ingot formation with minimal human intervention.
• Advanced PLC and Touchscreen Interface: The equipment is managed via a sophisticated programmable logic controller (PLC) with a digital touch interface, allowing operators to monitor real-time data and adjust heating power with exceptional accuracy.
• Controlled Atmosphere Management: Designed to operate under ambient or slightly positive pressure, the system includes a built-in mechanical pump and Ar gas venting port, enabling thermal processing in inert gas environments to prevent oxidation of sensitive alloys.
• B-Type Thermocouple Monitoring: High-accuracy temperature feedback is provided by a specialized B-type thermocouple, ensuring that the melting process remains within strict tolerances for reliable and repeatable experimental results.
• Integrated Water Cooling Compatibility: The unit is designed to interface with high-capacity water chillers, requiring a 16 L/m flow rate to maintain thermal stability in the induction coils and chamber during prolonged high-temperature cycles.
• Comprehensive Safety and Certification: Built to meet rigorous industrial standards, the equipment is CE certified, ensuring that it adheres to international safety and quality protocols for laboratory and industrial operation.
• Versatile Crucible Options: While standard with graphite crucibles for 100g Fe-equivalent melts, the system supports customized alumina or Boron Nitride (BN) crucibles to prevent chemical reactions with specific reactive materials.
• Compact Desktop Footprint: Despite its industrial-grade power, the equipment is engineered for space-saving desktop installation, making it suitable for facilities where laboratory real estate is at a premium without sacrificing performance.
