SA DELEGATION
PADICON® ( PARALLEL DIFFERENCE
POWER CONTROL) (DR.
TANNEBERGER GMBH)
• High-energy processes are no longer independent,
as before; instead, they are co-ordinated,
balancing out peaks and troughs in demand
against one another. Power demands undergo less
fluctuation. The result: peak performance with no
peaks indemand.
REINHARD TWEER GMBH IN BIELEFELD
CUTS PEAK DEMAND BY 21 PER CENT
USING PADICON
IMPROVING POWER EFFICIENCY
• “PadiconR gives Reinhard Tweer GmbH a crucial
advantage: all the foundry‘s furnaces can be
operated simultaneously with no rise in power
consumption. Peaks in electricity demand can be
controlled precisely and sustainably. This not only
guarantees that the workflow is uninterrupted, it
also cuts energy costs without lowering production”.
THE VALUE OF MONITORING
• The process also provides a transparent overview of
power consumption for every connected unit, at
any time. New units can easily be hooked up to the
system later.
ALD VACUUM TECHNOLOGIES
VACUUM INDUCTION MELTING
FURNACES
• Vacuum induction melting (VIM) is one of the
most commonly used processes in secondary
metallurgy applied for refining treatment in the liquid
state and adjustment of chemical composition and
temperature.
• To achieve the increasing quality demands on the
• resulting material and at the same time
1. save raw materials such as alloying elements due to
higher yield; and
2. save energy,
• The application of vacuum in the induction melting
process is a must for many specialized materials
• The process is suitable for the production of highpurity metals within an oxygen-free atmosphere
• This limits the formation of non-metallic oxide
inclusions.
METALLURGICAL ADVANTAGES
• Melting under oxygen-free atmosphere, this limits
formation of non-metallic oxide inclusions and
prevents oxydation of reactive elements;
• Achievement of very close compositional
tolerances and gas contents;
• Removal of undesired trace elements with high
vapour pressures;
• Removal of dissolved gases e.g. oxygen, hydrogen,
nitrogen;
• Adjustment of precise and homogeneous alloycomposition and melt temperature.
ADVANTAGES
• For this reason, metallurgical operations, such as
dephosphorization and
desulphurization, are
limited.
• The removal of harmful volatile trace elements, such
as antimony, tellurium, selenium, and bismuth in
vacuum induction furnaces is of considerable
practical importance.
• Fast change of program for different types of steels
and alloys;
• Precise temperature control;
• Low level of environmental pollution from dust
output;
THE VIM-VMC-FURNACE IS A TWOCHAMBER
DESIGN WITH VERTICAL MOLD
CHAMBER.
