Master Alloy VIM systems are generally in the range of 1 to 10 tons and are characterized by their ability to pour many multiples of small diameter ingots configured on a mold car or turntable. Individually poured master alloy ingots are commonly as small as 73 mm (2 7/8′) and as large as 254 mm (10′) in diameter and generally about 1.2m (48′) tall. Gang poured ingots can be 50 mm (2′) and under, if desired.
Features
Rugged steel shell induction furnace
Rapid exchange features to minimize furnace down time
Efficient Inductotherm power supplies and auxiliary stirring
Multiple chamber systems with mold chambers, charging chambers, and hot tundish insertion systems
Multiple charging systems for rapid feeding of a wide variety of charge materials
Multiple mold pouring via mold cars or turntables
Low conductance loss ‘wet’ filters to protect vacuum pumps and minimize fire hazards
Computer and PLC based controls with full SCADA
Remote operation via CCTV
