Automatic Operation:
Precise automatic control of power decrease furnace manpower to that needed only for tapping, charging and metallurgical measurements.
Compact Installation : High melting rates may be attained from small furnaces. A coreless furnace capable of melting 2,500 lbs./hr. of aluminum contain a crucible measuring 3' in diameter by 6' in depth.
Reduced Refractory:
The compact size in relation to melting rate refers induction furnaces need much less refractory than fuel-fired units. New hydraulic ram systems permit relining times to be significantly reduced as old worn linings might be quickly "pushed out" for simple replacement.
Better Working Environment : Induction furnaces are much quieter than arc furnaces, gas furnaces, or cupolas. No combustion gas is exists and waste heat is minimized.
Energy Conservation: total energy efficiency in induction melting ranges from 55 to 75 %, and is considerably better than combustion processes.
