The working principle of induction melting furnace

The Juyi induction gold melting furnace uses induction heating technology to quickly heat the metal to its melting point, thereby achieving the effect of rapid melting.

What is induction heating technology?

Induction heating, also known as electromagnetic induction heating, is a method of heating conductor materials such as metal materials. It is mainly used for metal hot processing, heat treatment, welding, and melting. Induction heating is the use of electromagnetic induction to generate current inside the heated material, relying on the energy of these eddy currents to achieve heating purposes. The basic components of an induction heating system include an induction coil, an AC power supply, and the metal piece that needs to be heated. Depending on the size of the heating object, the coil can be made into different shapes. The coil is connected to a power source, which provides alternating current to the coil. The alternating current flowing through the coil generates an alternating magnetic field passing through the metal piece, which generates eddy currents to heat the metal piece. Simply put, it means generating alternating current to generate an alternating magnetic field, which is then used to generate eddy currents for heating purposes.

Induction heating power supply converts AC power into higher frequency AC power and transmits it to the induction coil, which generates an electromagnetic field inside the coil. Due to the fact that the metal piece that needs to be heated is also a conductor, the magnetic induction lines generated by the induction coil will directly penetrate the metal piece placed in the coil, forming a series of current loops. Moreover, the resistance of the metal is small, and when these high current magnetic induction lines pass through the metal piece, they will make the electrons inside the metal very active, collide with each other, and friction will generate heat energy, achieving the effect of rapid heating of the metal itself.

The advantages of induction heating metal melting furnaces

1. Energy conservation and environmental protection

Due to the use of the latest IGBT induction heating technology in the Juyi induction metal smelting furnace, 90% of energy can be converted into useful heat, while ordinary furnaces usually only have a 45% energy utilization rate. Moreover, since the induction heating process does not require preheating or cooling cycles, the standby heat loss can be minimized, which can greatly save energy in the mass production process. In addition, induction gold melting furnaces do not burn traditional fossil fuels, and the entire heating process is clean and environmentally friendly. It does not produce waste heat, smoke, or harmful pollutants, making it more environmentally friendly compared to traditional melting furnaces.

2. High melting efficiency

Due to the extremely fast heating speed of the Juyi induction metal melting furnace, the equipment can start instantly and generate heat of over 800-1000℃ for the metal piece in just a few seconds, without the need for preheating or cooling cycles. Therefore, it can maximize production efficiency. The maximum rapid melting speed of the Juyi induction metal melting furnace is less than 3 minutes, which means we can complete the melting within 3 minutes each time.

3. Good quality of finished products

The Juyi induction metal melting furnace adopts the most advanced IGBT induction heating technology currently available, which eliminates the need for direct contact with open flames during the melting process, reducing losses caused by metal oxidation and improving the quality of finished products. During the smelting process, it is only necessary to set and calibrate the power of the induction metal smelting furnace to ensure uniform heating without overheating or uneven temperature, thus ensuring the quality of each finished product.

4. Low noise

The Juyi induction metal melting furnace uses electromagnetic induction heating, and the entire metal melting process is noise free.

5. Safe and reliable

The entire melting process of induction heating metal melting furnace has no open flame, which will not cause harm to operators and the environment. Moreover, IGBT induction heating technology can heat specific positions of the metal without heating any surrounding parts. Therefore, non-conductive materials will not be damaged even if placed near the heating zone. Therefore, using a polymer induction metal melting furnace for metal melting will be safer and more reliable.

6. Easy to operate

The Juyi induction jewelry melting furnace is easy to operate, with one click device startup and the power can be immediately turned on or off without preheating.

Application of Induction Heating Metal Melting Furnace

Induction metal melting furnaces are widely used in industrial manufacturing fields, such as metal melting, jewelry processing, precious metal gold and silver extraction, new alloy material production, and so on.

For many metal processing, melting is the first step in producing products. Using induction melting is fast and effective. By changing the size and shape of the induction coil, the required induction heating metal melting furnace can be customized. In addition, by adjusting the frequency and power, almost all metal materials such as gold, silver, copper, platinum, palladium, aluminum, lead, tin, etc. can be processed.

Induction melting also has a stirring function. In an induction heating metal melting furnace, the metal charge is melted or heated by the electric current generated by the electromagnetic field. When the metal melts, the field also causes the molten pool to move, which is called induction stirring. This continuous movement helps ensure the uniformity of the alloy by fully mix the metals during melting process.

Due to the fact that induction heating is achieved through a magnetic field, the metal piece can be physically isolated from the induction coil through refractory materials or other non-conductive media. The magnetic field will pass through this material, which means that metal melting can be carried out in a vacuum environment, thereby heating special alloys, silicon, graphite, and other sensitive conductive materials, making the development of new metal materials simpler and more feasible.

For the precious metal smelting and jewelry processing industry, vacuum melting can avoid oxidation of precious metals during the smelting process, reduce sand holes in the finished product, greatly reduce losses, and improve the quality of the finished product.

If you run a precious metal refining plant or a jewelry processing plant, Juyi induction heating metal melting furnace will be your best choice. This furnace can help you significantly reduce energy consumption while increasing production and overall efficiency, while ensuring excellent quality of finished products.
