The furnace body can be tilted 95 degrees by the hydraulic cylinder, pouring out all the molten metal, and can be stopped at any position during the tilting process as needed.
★ Automatic constant temperature function: The required range of furnace water temperature can be pre-set, and one click start can achieve automatic constant temperature; Compared to traditional manual temperature control, the automatic constant temperature function saves time and effort, is more sensitive and accurate, makes it easier to control the furnace water temperature, reduces oxidation and burning losses, and ensures even metal composition for better product quality during casting!
★ Automatic oven drying function: Oven drying is a relatively complex and long-term curve heating process. To extend the service life of the intermediate frequency furnace and reduce production costs, the correct furnace building and drying process is crucial. Our company's innovative automatic baking function can pre-set the required time and temperature for different baking stages based on the baking temperature requirements of different refractory materials for the furnace lining; According to the pre-set time and temperature values of the PLC, one key start is used to automatically match and continuously adjust the size of the intermediate frequency power, control the heating speed, prevent cracks in the furnace lining, and achieve the goal of automatic curve baking. It not only avoids manual errors but also reduces the labor time and intensity of workers.
★ Anti piercing furnace alarm function: Hengyang's unique dual anti piercing furnace alarm function adopts a dual combination of differential current and DC injection detection. Provided extremely reliable and comprehensive rapid protection for furnace leakage and any grounding faults in the furnace system. The detection system has an early warning function. When the furnace lining becomes thinner to a certain extent, an alarm light will be sounded in advance to remind users to pay attention to the approaching service life of the furnace lining, and to predict the furnace penetration in advance to achieve the goal of safe production. Solve the customer's problem of being unable to start up due to continuous use, and the inability to continue melting due to material in the furnace.
★ Furnace body weighing function: According to customer needs, a weighing system can be installed in the furnace body, and the weight data of the molten iron can be transmitted to the operating platform PLC and displayed through a touch screen, which is convenient and intuitive to reflect the weight of the molten liquid in the furnace body, and facilitate the operator to adjust the composition and arrange the production volume.

Reduced work intensity and improved work efficiency.

3、 Hengyang Medium Frequency Electric Furnace Selection Guide
The diversification of products and different cost-effectiveness provide you with more choices and experiences.
1. Development history and comparative selection of intermediate frequency power supply
First generation: KGPS thyristor parallel intermediate frequency power supply
It has been widely used since the 20th century, with low prices and cheap accessories.
High energy consumption, consuming approximately 650 kWh per ton of steel water. Using the method of adjusting DC voltage to regulate power, the power factor is low ≤ 0.90, and there is harmonic interference, which has varying degrees of impact on the operation of reactive power compensation capacitors in the substation.
Second generation: KGCL thyristor series intermediate frequency power supply
It is an upgraded version based on the first generation KGPS parallel intermediate frequency furnace in the past 20 years, which saves about 15% energy compared to the first generation KGPS parallel inverter power supply (with a power consumption of about 550 kWh per ton of molten iron).
Third generation: New energy-saving IGBT module series intermediate frequency power supply
It is a revolutionary and innovative latest energy-saving product that overturns the traditional structure of thyristor intermediate frequency power supply; Adopting IGBT integrated modules (transistors) for frequency and power regulation, and full wave rectification; It is not affected by the amount of furnace material and the thickness of the furnace lining, and maintains a constant power output throughout the entire melting process. The energy-saving IGBT transistor intermediate frequency electric furnace can save 15% -25% energy compared to traditional thyristor intermediate frequency power supply (with a power consumption of about 470 kWh per ton of molten iron).
The main reasons for energy conservation are as follows:
A、 The inverter voltage is high, the current is low, and the line loss is small. This part can save about 15% energy. The energy-saving IGBT transistor intermediate frequency power supply has an inverter voltage of 2800V, while the traditional thyristor intermediate frequency power supply has an inverter voltage of only 750V, which is nearly four times smaller in current and greatly reduces line loss.
B、 The power factor is high, always greater than 0.98, and the reactive power loss is small. This part is 3% -5% more energy-efficient than the thyristor intermediate frequency power supply. Due to the semi controllable rectification method used in the energy-saving IGBT transistor intermediate frequency power supply, the rectification part does not adjust the conduction angle of the thyristor, so the power factor of the entire working process is always greater than 0.98, with little power loss.
IGBT integrated module series intermediate frequency power supply is the latest energy-saving intermediate frequency furnace product recommended by our company.
2. Comparison and selection between steel shell furnace and aluminum shell furnace
Steel shell furnace body: Adopting hydraulic station tilting device; The furnace body is welded with high-quality steel structure, which is safer, stronger, and more durable; The sensor is enclosed by a magnetic yoke, covering an area of over 65%. Due to its low magnetic leakage and high efficiency, it saves nearly 5% of energy consumption compared to aluminum shell furnaces. Equipped with a leak proof furnace alarm device, it can predict furnace penetration in advance and achieve the goal of safe production. The steel shell furnace body is designed with two types of dust removal systems: smoking hood and smoking ring, which meet the requirements of environmental impact assessment. Users can choose the configuration according to their needs | Aluminum shell furnace body: Adopting a reducer tilting furnace device; The furnace body is made of alloy aluminum sand casting; Low cost, easy to maintain, and convenient to observe. The disadvantage is that the efficiency, service life, and safety are relatively low, and electromagnetic radiation is not shielded. Due to the lack of smoking and dust removal devices in aluminum shell furnaces, some government departments in China have ordered users to replace aluminum shell furnaces with steel shell furnaces |
