Channel-type induction holding furnaces

The OTTO JUNKER channel-type induction furnace is used where liquid metal must be held, stored, superheated or poured in large quantities.

It is the perfect answer to any of the following requirements:

• meet varying molten metal demands of the mould line
• provide permanent supply of molten metal with maximum utilization of the melting plant
• ensure utilization of low night-time power tariff for electric melting

Essential benefits of the channel-type induction furnace

• Separate filling and pouring siphons
• Furnace filling and pouring operations may proceed at the same time
• No ingress of atmospheric oxygen, i.e., slag formation is reliably prevented
• Quickly replaceable, water-cooled inductors with directed flow are available with:
• single loop up to 1,200 kW
• double loop up to 2,800 kW
• Space-saving design of switchgear and control equipment (including advanced IGBT frequency converter technology)
• Additional backward tilting feature facilitates slag removal from the bath surface
