Note: Heat Eight Steel Rods (Molding)
Objective:
Heat eight steel rods simultaneously to 212 °F (100 °C) for a molding operation.
End Product:
Steel rods
Equipment:
Ambrell 3.5 kW power supply kW induction heating system equipped with a remote workhead containing one capacitor equaling 0.66 μF
An induction heating coil designed and developed specifically for this application.
Materials:
8 Steel Rods measuring 1/2 in (12.7 mm) in diameter and 14 in (355.6 mm) long held in place by 2.5 in (63.5 mm) diameter Teflon end plates
Temperature:
212 °F (100 °C)
Frequency:
181 kHz
Testing:
A fifteen-turn helical coil is used to heat the stainless steel rods simultaneously for 45 seconds to reach 212 °F (100 °C). Teflon end plates are used to hold the rods in place.
Benefits:
-
Uniform heating without rotation of rod capsule
-
Decrease in energy consumption
-
Hands free operation
