A water cooling station is the packaged pump and tower set for one furnace or for a pair of furnaces. It is the practical way to ship cooling equipment with a complete melting system.

Key features
- Matched to furnace power and to coil plus capacitor loss
- Closed-circuit or crossflow tower
- Pump redundancy where the foundry asks for it
- Indoor or outdoor layout
Construction
- Skid or pit pumps, tower, headers and the electrical interlock to the KGPS supply.
Working principle
The station removes the heat that the power supply, the coil and the capacitors produce, and it does it at the flow the furnace drawing requires.
Applications
Steel, cast iron, stainless steel, copper, aluminum, aluminum alloy, brass and other non-ferrous metals.
Complete system integration
This equipment sits in the same line as the power supply, the capacitor bank, the induction coil, the magnetic yoke, the furnace body and the cooling system. A quotation can cover one item or the full line.
Customization
Capacity, voltage, frequency, dimensions and connection layout can be made to the furnace design. Send the drawing or the duty data below.
Catalog sheets
Questions before a quotation
Can the rating be customized?
Yes. Capacity, voltage, frequency, tube size and connection layout follow the furnace drawing and the metal.
What do you need for a quotation?
Furnace capacity, metal, melting temperature, melting rate, working hours, input voltage, frequency if known, tilting method and cooling-water conditions. A drawing helps.
Do you supply a single machine or the complete system?
Both. A spare coil, yoke, capacitor or cooling tower can be quoted alone. A new foundry line is quoted as a complete system.
Which metals can be melted?
Steel, cast iron, stainless steel, copper, aluminum, aluminum alloy, brass and other non-ferrous metals. The lining and the frequency follow the alloy.
Will you confirm the catalog numbers before manufacture?
Yes. The sheets on this page are the factory catalog for selection. The quotation states the rating that will be built.
