Induction Furnaces have again been selected to replace Arc Furnaces to melt Steel
After an exhaustive analysis of the performance and efficiency between ELECTRIC ARC FURNACES and Inductotherm’s INDUCTION FURNACES, PT The Master Steel Company, Indonesia, has just placed an order with Inductotherm Australia.
The large order is for Eight VIP Power-Traks a totalling of 102 MW connected to Sixteen Furnaces.
Five units are 15,000 kW VIP Power-Traks each connected to two 25 tonne coreless induction furnaces.
Three units are 9,000 kW VIP Power-Traks each connected to two 15 tonne coreless induction furnaces
This is not a step PT Master Steel has taken lightly, of the 4 plants they have, 3 plants will change to Induction melting.
