Material Handling & Charging Systems |
|
Inductotherm manufactures a broad range of automated charging systems
for both ferrous and nonferrous melt shops. These systems include charge
buckets, belt conveyors and vibratory pivoting, indexing, traversing and
stationary holding conveyors. Inductotherm also offers automated batch
make-up and delivery systems for alloying materials.
|
|
Manual charging operations are slow, labor intensive and dangerous. That’s
why foundries are turning to remotely controlled mechanized material
handling systems to get charge material from storage areas to the furnaces
quickly and efficiently. |
Inductotherm’s material handling
equipment and furnace charging
systems also serve to enhance
safety by allowing melt deck
workers to be away from the
furnace or behind protective
barriers during charging. |

Drying & Preheating Systems |
|
Dryers improve safety by reducing surface moisture on charge materials, reducing the risk of a water/molten metal explosion
in the furnace. Charge preheaters can reduce energy costs by more than 10% compared to direct cold charging. Both charge
dryers and preheaters offer:
|
|
|
 |
High velocity reducing flame burners with automatic ignition temperature at all settings, eliminating flameouts and minimizing
charge oxidation |
|
Air manifolds that maintain a precise fuel/air mixture for maximum fuel economy |
