Induction melting is an advanced, contactless method of heating and melting metal using electromagnetic induction. The process is fast, efficient, and highly controllable, making it ideal for melting ferrous and non-ferrous metals such as steel, iron, copper, aluminum, and precious metals.
Induction melting works by placing a metal charge inside a crucible, which is then surrounded by a water-cooled copper coil. When alternating current passes through the coil, it creates a rapidly changing magnetic field that induces eddy currents in the metal, generating heat internally and melting the material evenly.
Induction melting furnaces are widely used in foundries, metal casting plants, precious metal refineries, and research laboratories. These furnaces offer precise temperature control, fast melting cycles, and clean operation without combustion or emissions.
LJINDUCTION specializes in the design and manufacture of energy-efficient induction melting furnaces tailored for different materials, batch sizes, and production requirements—from small lab-scale systems to high-capacity industrial units.
Induction melting provides significant advantages over traditional fuel-fired or resistance-based melting methods, especially in terms of energy efficiency, speed, and environmental performance.
Induction melting enables rapid heating and melting of metals, dramatically reducing processing time and improving production throughput. The heat is generated directly within the metal, which ensures minimal heat loss and excellent thermal efficiency.
Induction melting furnaces deliver precise temperature control, essential for applications that require tight metallurgical consistency or alloy integrity. This control helps reduce oxidation, slag formation, and contamination during melting.
Induction melting also ensures a cleaner and safer working environment. As the process is flameless and fully enclosed, it minimizes harmful emissions and improves operator safety—making it ideal for facilities with strict environmental or workplace regulations.
Induction melting furnaces are compact and modular, allowing easy integration into new or existing production lines. Their quiet operation, fast start-up times, and low maintenance requirements make them a reliable choice for continuous or batch melting operations.
With LJINDUCTION’s advanced induction melting systems, customers benefit from robust equipment, optimized energy usage, and custom engineering support—whether they’re melting steel for casting, copper for recycling, or gold for refining.
