A dual track induction furnace is a specialized type of induction furnace that is designed to handle two separate tracks or channels for melting and holding metal.
This type of furnace is engineered to offer efficient and continuous melting and holding capabilities for a variety of alloys.
In a dual track induction furnace, the upper case is lined with refractory material and houses the molten metal.
This upper case is divided into two distinct channels or tracks.
The induction unit assembly, known as the lower case, is connected to the upper case through a throat and provides the necessary melting or holding power.
The dual track furnace operates based on the principle of a transformer, similar to a core-type induction furnace.
An alternating current flows through a primary coil that surrounds an iron core.
The molten metal in each track forms a secondary coil, which surrounds both the core and the primary coil.
As the current flows through the primary coil, it induces a larger current in the secondary coil, generating heat through the Joule Effect.
One of the key advantages of the dual track induction furnace is its ability to simultaneously melt and hold different metals or alloys in separate tracks.
This capability significantly enhances production efficiency and reduces downtime between melting and holding cycles.
The molten metal in each track circulates within the upper case, creating a beneficial stirring action that aids in achieving uniform temperature distribution and alloy homogeneity.
Overall, the dual track induction furnace is a versatile and efficient tool for melting and holding various metals and alloys.
It offers flexibility in production processes and ensures high power efficiency by concentrating magnetic flux in the metal loops.
