Medium Frequency Induction Furnace for Cast Iron Melting
Cast iron foundries require reliable melting equipment capable of handling repeated production cycles and maintaining stable molten metal quality.
Medium frequency induction melting furnaces provide a flexible solution for cast iron production.
Why use induction melting for cast iron?
Induction melting provides direct electromagnetic heating of the metal charge.
The system can be designed for:
- Batch melting
- Continuous production
- Temperature holding
- Foundry pouring
- High-volume production
Furnace and power supply
The furnace capacity should be matched to the required production rate.
For example, a plant requiring several tons of molten cast iron per hour may require a significantly different power configuration from a small batch foundry.
One furnace or two furnace configuration?
For plants requiring both melting and holding, a one-to-two power supply system can be particularly useful.
One furnace can be used for melting while another furnace maintains molten metal at the required temperature.
This configuration can improve equipment utilization and production flexibility.
Cooling
The induction coil, power supply and electrical connections require reliable cooling.
A complete cooling system can include:
- Closed circuit cooling tower
- Water cooling station
- Water-cooled cable
- Water-cooled busbar
Conclusion
A cast iron induction melting system should be designed around the entire production process.
The correct combination of furnace capacity, power, frequency, cooling and tilting system can provide a practical solution for modern foundry production.
