Induction Billet Heating Systems for Efficient Forging

Induction billet heating systems allow for rapid, controlled heating of metal billets for forging applications. By using magnetic fields to induce targeted heating within the billet, induction systems can bring billets to ideal forging temperature much faster than combustion furnaces.

LJ Induction billet heaters are built around high-powered inverter power supplies that generate a high-frequency alternating magnetic field when powered. The specially designed induction coil focuses this alternating field to efficiently heat the cylindrical billet form factor.

Key components of an induction billet heating system include:

– Power Supply – Generates high-frequency current to produce magnetic field. Capacities from 50kW to 1MW.

– Induction Coil – Copper tubing coil that focuses magnetic field for heating. Water cooled.

– Cooling System – Removes heat from coil during operation. Typically water-cooled.

– Insulation – Ceramic wool to retain heat. Focus energy on billet.

– Temperature Controls – Pyrometers provide feedback for precise temp regulation.

– Material Handling – Allows moving hot billets after heating. Customized for workflow.

Induction billet heating provides key advantages:

– Rapid Heating – Reduces heating time compared to furnaces. Increased productivity.

– Energy Efficient – Focused magnetic fields mean less waste.

– Custom Built – Tailored to your billet sizes and production needs.

– Modular Design – Flexible heating modules to tailor capacity.
