HeatLine

• A comprehensive range of systems for melting and forging applications with serial and/or parallel compensated induction power sources for several output powers and frequencies.
• HeatLine furnaces and heaters are used for everything from high-volume forging to specialist melting applications. Automatic coil changeovers and load matching make HeatLine particularly productive for forging. Accurate pouring, short melt times and easy crucible changes are hallmarks of HeatLine furnaces.
• The HeatLine family:
• Induction billet heaters (CHC):

Heat practically any dimension of billets and slugs in whether in stainless steel, copper, aluminum, titanium, and brass. Continuous feed units for heating round or square section billets prior to stamping or warm forming. Features fully automatic coil changes, variable billet throughput speed and automatic load matching.

• Horizontal partial heaters (CBB):

Our CBB horizontal systems are widely used for bar end and partial heating. They heat shaped parts and special profiles and are particularly well suited for forging bolts and agricultural tools.

• Vertical partial heaters (CHV):

Heat any type of profile, including handlebars, billets, and preformed components to a maximum length of 1,500 mm. Since the CHV supports manual and robot loading, it can switch between short and long series production runs. They are available with different numbers of heat stations (minimum four), and as mobile, wheel-mounted systems.  

• Single-axis tilt-pour furnaces (FIB):

The FIB melts ferrous and non-ferrous metals including copper and aluminum alloys. Available with capacities ranging up to 6,000 kg. Minimized energy consumption with a coil design that optimizes the inductor area in front of the load. Fitted with easy-to-change prefabricated crucibles or rammed linings. 

• Dual-axis tilt-pour furnaces (DAB):

Available with rammed and fritted linings or prefabricated crucibles, the DAB offers extremely precise pouring streams in molds on automatic lines and in investment casting. Low-loss lamination packs and lids with protective inert gas are available as options.

• Moving coil melting furnaces (FIM):

Ideal for melting copper, gold, bronze, and aluminum alloys. The FIM’s prefabricated (clay graphite) crucible remains static during the full melting cycle. Instead, the coil moves around the crucible without touching it. Dedicated crucibles – which also act as pouring ladles – eliminate inter-alloy contamination.

• Roll-over melting furnaces (FAR):

Our FAR furnaces offer 180° roll-over tilting and extremely quick mold filling – making them perfect for investment casting applications. High-power converters ensure short melt times and eliminate oxidation. Ergonomic features include pneumatic mold clamping and a hydraulic roll-over system.

• Laboratory melting furnaces (LAB):

LAB furnaces come with rammed linings or prefabricated crucibles and are ideal for: precious metals melting/refining, art molding, investment casting, quick melting for qualifying alloys, sample castings for Spectro analyses, dental/medical alloys and nuclear material melting.
