COMPACT INDUCTION MELTING FURNACE

We have developed super-heated steam generator which is easy to use, and simply connecting our patented induction equipment to your boiler enable to generate super-heated steam.

Our super-heated steam generator is suitable for heat source incorporating into your system or for research and development purposes.

Customers do not require special knowledge or qualifications for installation and operation.

DHF has developed a compact and highly efficient induction melting furnace to cater to your needs. Our induction melting furnace is suitable for melting a small amount of metal or for research and development purposes. We offer two models of compact induction melting furnace; the smaller model for melting up to 5 kg of metal, the larger for up to 30 kg.

Features of compact induction melting furnace

Features of compact induction melting furnace (for melting up to 5 kg of metal)

  • Designed for safety. The melting furnace, tilting device, and casting mold are all contained inside the unit’s box, eliminating the risk of molten metal splattering outside.
  • The combination of induction heating and graphite crucible enables rapid melting operation.
  • Our double-crucible system is designed to contain all molten metal even if one crucible is damaged and leaks. The graphite crucible can be easily replaced.
  • DHF high-frequency power supply unit is built with an overheating prevention timer, eliminating the risk of human error.
  • By using readily available standard-type graphite crucibles (commercial products), the cost of replacing crucibles is reduced.
Meltable materials
Copper, zinc, gold, silver, iron, etc.
Sample melting times
・0.5 kg brass: about 9 mins
・3 kg copper: about 16 mins
*The times above apply to continuous melting operation.

Features of compact induction melting furnace (for melting 10 to 30 kg of metal)

  • Designed for safety. The coil protection sensor is contained, ensuring safety even if molten metal leaks.
  • The high-frequency power supply unit is simple to operate and requires no specialized skills.
  • By using readily available standard-type graphite crucibles (commercial products), the cost of replacing crucibles is reduced.
Meltable materials
Copper, zinc, gold, silver, iron, etc.
Sample melting times
・30 kg cast iron: about 40 mins
*The time above applies to continuous melting operation.
