Application Solutions with The Indus Inductronix System
SCR (Solid State Technology)
Power Range: 50KW - 750KW - ZON8
The following advantages are arguments in favour of using SCR converters as medium-frequency power generators:
A good level of efficiency, also in reduced power operations, guarantees low energy costs.
The converter can be switched on and off as often as needed without delays, accomodating short interruptions to production.
Converters require minimal maintenance and have no components that wear out and work without any mechanical moving parts.
The use of field-proven, conservatively rated electronic components results in a long useful life and high operational reliability.
Indus Inductronix System parallel inverters adapt to all load conditions by means of electronic control without moving parts.
Converters always present the supply system with a symmetrical, balanced load on all supply line phases. The power smoothly ramps up or down over a programmable period, providing a soft start, that eliminates inrushes and surges. Acceptable power quality is achieved by judicious selection of a 6, 12 pulse rectifier configuration.
Induction Heating/Melting IGBT Technology
Power Range : 2.5 KW - 100 KW
Frequency Range: 5 KHz - 100 KHz
The System is an energy efficient , voltage source inverter with a parallel-tuned output. This IGBT power supply offers a wide tuning range and is available in both local and remote heat station configurations. This simplifies integration into new system or existing installations. Selectable output regulation modes include voltage, power or current. It has been 96.7% conversion efficiency and also have power factor 0.95 from 0 to 100 % power
Tube and Pipe Heating
Induction heating is the most energy-efficient and controllable method for applying heat during the production of tubular products. Its non-contact nature enables high production rates that meet the most demanding metallurgical requirements. The localized heating and direct coupling into the tube or pipe minimizes the heat in the local environment, enhancing operator safety and comfort. As a leading supplier and innovator of induction heating solutions, Indus Inductronix System Induction has the experience and product necessary to meet your critical production needs:
Heat Treating
The primary metallurgical advantages of induction hardening include increased wear resistance and improved fatigue strength. A shallow hardened case, ranging from 0.25 to 1.5mm (0.010 to 0.060 inch) provides a part with excellent wear resistance in applications involving light to moderate loads. For shallow case depths, heating to the desired depth can be obtained by use of induction heating equipment operating at frequencies ranging between 50 kHz and 400 kHz. Deeper hardened cases ranging between 3.2 to 12.7mm (1/8 to ½ inch) provides substantially improved torsional and bending fatigue strength. Deeper desired patterns are achieved from 25 kHz down to 1 kHz.
The use of electromagnetic induction for hardening and tempering parts has been widely use throughout the heat treating industry for more than 75 years. Rapid heat times, repeatable control and inherent adaptability to in-line or stand-alone processing make it ideal for modern manufacturing facilities.
