Our Induction Heater has achieved a lot of results and experiences for the billet heating process of hot metal working such as aluminum, copper, copper alloy and iron alloy during the past half a century since1961. Particularly our Billet Heater used in combination with extrusion press for aluminum and copper is proud of one of the top in the world and provided the best system in accordance with Customer’s objectives.
Features of INDUCTION HEATER
System engineering ability basing upon abundant experiences
Most optimum heating system, satisfying billet conditions such as materials, dimensions, temperatures, throughputs and etc. , can be provided.
Stable Capability and Performance
It is a high duty type with standing a high frequent usage with a safety and rugged structure based accumulated experiences and achievements.
Compact heating unit
Heating coil, pusher for push in/out, stopper, temperature measuring device, Billet conveyer, Length measuring device, etc. are mounted on top the cubicle of the heating unit compactly. Transformer, capacitor, switch and etc. are housed functionally inside resulting in an overall compact unit.
Excellent Operability
Touch panel is applied for operating panel and each setting (billet length, coil tap, transformer tap and capacitor volume) is possible in remote easily.
Energy saving with original double layer coil
Inductive heating coil loss can be reduced to thin inner coil. The coil of high power supply can be manufactured due to adopting the original coil cooling system.
Wide variety of options
A wide variety of options are available based on abundant experiences.
Automatic Billet Length Measurement
Automatic Change-over for replacement of Heating Coil
Automatic Heating Coil Tap Selection
Automatic Transformer Tap Selection

Characteristics below will be changed depends on numbers of billets and transporting duration. You can provide actual characteristics by K=(3600-N×t) /3600.
N:Number of heating billets (pcs/h)
K:Reduction coefficient
t:Transporting duration (sec)
Main component devices
Flow of billet
Improves working efficiency with dual heating units.
Heating system of coil
Generally power source is supplied by 3hpase 6kV or 3kV, therefore heating coil system is popular, but single phase system coil be applied for depending on required heating conditions and characteristics of a billet.
Comparison of three phase heating coil system and single phase heating coil system.
Item
Three phase coil system
Single phase coil system
Billet materials
Mainly aluminum alloy
Copper, brass and copper alloy
Temperature distribution
Good results when the billet length matches the coil length. Otherwise, need to adjust the transformer tap.
Good results in any billet length
Taper heating
Feasible when the billet length is more than 3/4 of standard billet length.
Feasible by dividing a heating coil
Number of billet in the heating coil
Usually, 2 or more billets
One or multiple

After-sales Service Network
The induction heater increases the possibility of sudden accident to every passing year, combined with being used in severe environments and doing insufficient services or maintenances in day-to-day. To prevent such troubles, it is essential to serve and maintain periodically. We have service centers across the world as the service company of Shinfonia Technology (formerly Shinko Electric Co., Ltd.), even if sudden equipment suspension occurs , we can provide safety and security in the on-call system.
