Regular Maintenance Measures for Induction Melting Furnaces

in induction •  2 years ago 

Induction melting furnaces are essential equipment for the aluminum ingot casting industry. The main raw materials include scrap aluminum, scrap steel, and other non-ferrous metals. The induction melting furnace can be equipped with an automatic aluminum ingot production line to realize automatic casting. So, what daily cleaning and maintenance do induction melting furnaces need? Today, Luoyang Judian will give you a detailed introduction to the daily maintenance measures of the induction melting furnace.

Induction Melting Furnaces Regular Maintenance Measures

  1. Frequently clean the power cabinet, especially the dust outside the silicon control tube. There is usually a dedicated machine room for cleaning the frequency conversion electronic control tube core, but the actual working environment is not ideal during the melting and forging process, and the dust vibration is very large; during the heat quenching process of the intermediate frequency furnace, The device is often close to operating equipment such as pickling and phosphating, which produces a large amount of corrosive gas. These corrosive gases will damage the device components, reduce the insulation strength of the device, and surface discharge often occurs, so pay attention to regular cleaning to prevent failure.

  2. Regularly check the pipe joints for clipping. Use tap water as a cooling device to affect the aging cooling effect of plastic pipe rupture. A water well furnace device should be used. When replacing and running in summer, the cooling water is often prone to condensation, and the circulating water system should be considered.

  3. Frequently analyze and repair the equipment, check the crimping of the bolts and nuts of each part of the equipment, and tighten the contacts of the contactor control relay, if there is looseness or poor contact, it should be repaired and replaced in time, and it must be used forcibly to avoid greater accidents.

  4. Regularly check whether the connection mode of the load is correct, whether the insulation technology is reliable, and whether the oxide skin accumulated in the heat-transmitting induction coil should be cleaned up in time; if there is a crack in the insulation furnace lining, the intermediate frequency furnace should be replaced in time; after the aluminum melting furnace is replaced with a new furnace lining, Pay attention to check the load of the insulation frequency conversion control device.

  5. When poor-quality cooling water is used to cool the melt, the key parts of the aluminum melting furnace need to be replaced or cleaned regularly. For example, the SCR is easy to be damaged when the cooling water jacket control cabinet is not well cooled.

Induction Melting Furnaces Features

  1. The capacity of a single induction furnace for smelting can reach nearly 100 tons, which can meet the needs of large-scale production. However, the expansion of installed power capacity is often an insurmountable obstacle for many enterprises. Therefore, induction furnaces are more suitable for small and medium-scale production.

  2. The induction melting furnace is discontinuous smelting, which provides molten iron equal to the capacity of the furnace at intervals. For the production mode of the stage work system, the induction furnace is more suitable.

  3. The induction melting furnace uses electricity as the energy source and has little pollution to the environment.

  4. The induction melting furnace has high heating efficiency, fast melting speed, energy saving, and consumption reduction. According to statistics, melting 1 ton of steel consumes an average of 600kWh of electricity.
