that can be located on the VIP unit’s control panel and/or
on a separate remote control panel
|
|
|
Built-in computer intelligence that helps the operator optimize
efficient power use through precise control of the
melting cycle during charging, melting and superheating,
reduces power-wasting temperature overshoots and enhances
safety. With furnace load cells, Melt-Manager Plus
can directly capture charge weight information

Assists the operator in controlling the power to the
holding furnace to maintain a precise pour temperature
|
|
|
Displays system operational parameters for close
control of energy costs
|
|
|
Monitors inductor parameters and lets operator
predict wear/buildup factors to minimize maintenance
and downtime expense
