by heat-soaked furnace walls, tiles, refractory, or insulations. Furthermore, when the molten metal temperature hits the desired set point, power is cut off by the automatic temperature controller, ensuring it remains within the required temperature range. This makes it possible to attain a melt temperature with a precision of 5-7°C.
One of the unique features of the Acutrak® system is that
it is completely air cooled. The power supply and the furnace body are cooled by forced airflow. Low furnace losses make water cooling for the induction coil unnecessary as required by traditional induction furnaces. In addition, the air-cooled system does not require the excessive insulating materials as needed by fuel-fired and ER furnaces. The furnace also provides the operator with a comfortable
work environment. There is no excessive noise or heat generated by the exhaust from a fuel-fired furnace. Tasks such as hand ladling, adding ingots, and scrap materials to the furnace are made easier with the smaller width of the exterior walls. The Acutrak®
DEH furnace is currently available in a ®
