Case Study: Avoiding Operational Downtime Risks and Reducing Operating Hours through the Update of Existing Induction Furnaces
Introduced the latest high-frequency furnace as a measure against the aging of existing equipment. By avoiding production stoppage risks and achieving rapid melting, we have reduced the power consumption per unit by over 20%.
Case study of the introduction of a high-frequency induction furnace. In a certain foundry (cast iron casting), the aging of the existing induction furnace increased the risk of operational shutdown, and there were concerns about the service system of the existing manufacturer. Therefore, a high-frequency induction furnace from Fuji Electric was introduced. This not only mitigated the risk of operational shutdown but also achieved a reduction in operating time through rapid melting. Additionally, by utilizing the data collection and display functions, it became possible to visualize the current situation.
