Whether you're performing heat treating, forging or another thermal process, Inductoheat can put the heat where you need it for quality parts.

These applications vary from simple line frequency voltage step down to match heating element requirements, to high frequency transformers (up to 25 KHz) for induction heating applications, to SCR or saturable reactors assemblies packaged with transformers to control output voltages and/or currents.

All of AFP's industrial heating and furnace transformers are custom designed and manufactured to match our customers' unique requirements. As with most AFP products, these transformers are available with copper or aluminum windings, open frame core and coil designs or with several NEMA enclosure variations.

Typical applications for AFP's Industrial Heating and Furnace Transformers include:

• Step down of line voltage to match heating element requirements;
• Multi-tap output voltages to accommodate for varying power output needs or to compensate for heating element resistance changes;
• SCR controlled primaries to allow for variable output power;
• Saturable reactors incorporated into the transformer design to control output power;
• High frequency voltage conversion for induction heating systems;
• Impedance matching output transformers for induction heating applications;
• Scott-T or other types of 3 to 2 phase power conversion transformers.

InductoScan^® induction heating system uses a standardized modular design, which provides flexibility for a wide range of power supplies, controls and components to be integrated onto a common base to better match current production needs. It can be customized to perform various heat-treating applications such as scan, single-shot, lift/rotate, pick and place, rotary index, and linear transfer. This is a significant advantage for customers because the InductoScan^® system can always be reconfigured by swapping in different scanning towers, power supplies and other mechanics to accommodate an entirely new part or family of parts for future production needs.

Features/Benefits:

· Mechanical modules provide various process solutions; scan, lift/rotate, pick & place, linear transfer and rotary index.

· Flexible design allows a wide range of power supplies and controls to be changed or upgraded to meet future needs.

· Single utility connection for fast installation or relocation

· Removable plumbing cover enables full access to all mechanical components for easy maintenance/changeover.

· Self-contained system on a common base to support stand-alone work cell requirements.

· User-friendly PC/PLC based controls simplify set-up, changeover, diagnostics and process monitoring.

· Quench recirculation system with plate and frame heat exchanger.

· Water cooling recirculation system for inverter and coils.

Inductotherm's high power-density induction systems provide mill operators with the most efficient and cost-effective technology for bringing even the largest steel slabs to the optimal temperature for rolling.

Induction reheating systems are designed to take over the slab heating process at the point in the thermal curve where gas-fired furnaces start to lose efficiency. Unlike gas, induction heating systems maintain their high efficiency throughout their operating range.

In a typical induction slab reheating operation, the slab is brought to 1000ْC in a conventional gas-fired furnace, before moving into the induction system where it is raised to the précis temperature needed for rolling. Because induction heats the metal directly, this operation occurs quickly, increasing slab through-put and reducing scale formation.

Generally, induction-based reheating systems require just 10% of the floor space needed for comparable gas-fired furnaces.

• High heating efficiency
• Quick slab throughput
• In-line or oscillating heaters
• Reduced scale formation
• Highly compact installations
• Closed loop temperature control
• Reduced maintenance
• Worldwide service support

Inductoheat's new InductoForge™ modular billet heating system is a revolutionary product for the forging industry. The flexible modular design allows the forge shop to assemble an induction system that exactly matches its application requirements by allowing the addition or subtraction of power modules for future production needs.

The InductoForge™ system uses power modules that are capable of running at wide range of frequencies with minimal change: (500Hz to 6000Hz). Each module is individually controlled resulting in a much finer and more accurate control of the billet temperature.

High efficiency is achieved through specialized induction coil design and minimal transmission bus. The heavy-duty, single size forging coil consists of cast end boards, copper windings and long-life removable liner for heating a wide range of billet diameters.

Inductoheat designed the IHAZ -Temperature Profile Modeling computer program to set up an advanced temperature control for the InductoForge Billet Heater. IHAZ can be used to customize the billet temperature profile (Induction Heat Affected Zone) to best suit the application. IHAZ generates the optimum-running parameters and set points for Standby and Rapid Start, which are stored as a recipe in the billet heater's PLC.
