TECHNICAL SPECIFICATIONS FOR INDUCTION FURNACE – 50 kg Capacity
SCOPE:
Supply, installation and commissioning of coreless air Induction melting Furnace/s
complete with cooling & fume extraction system
The scope will be to supply, install, commission and on-load test run the supplied
equipment with all accessories and hand over the same as ready to use condition as per
mutually
agreed
time
schedule.
The
scope
will
also
include
all
works/electrics/items/materials/consumables/tools & tackles needed to carry out the job
in totality & successfully except space and infrafacility (3 phase electrical power & potable
water) at single point. All the supplied items will be in supplier's custody till successful
handing over to purchaser. The job will be on turnkey basis. Essential spares including
crucibles are to be indicated separately.
National Metallurgical Laboratory (NML) will provide covered space with
illumination, electrical power and potable water (including emergency water) at single
point for the supplied system as indicated by the supplier. NML will also provide charge
materials, Oxygen cylinder and Sulphur. All other jobs are to be carried out by the
supplier to ensure successful commissioning of the total system so that the facility can be
utilised immediately to its full rated capacity.
APPLICATION:
The equipment will be used for R & D purposes in National Metallurgical
Laboratory (NML) and materials to be melted are primarily copper, Nickel, Cobalt,
Manganese and Iron (30-60%) alloys. Melt may be treated with Oxygen and Sulphur So
proper fume collection and extraction system to take the fumes out of the shed. But it will
also be used for other ferrous and non-ferrous materials. Two furnaces, 10 kg & 50 kg
are to be run by a single power pack of medium frequency, one at a time, where
temperature on higher side will be minimum 16500C
LOCATION:
This will be housed in Magnesium Plant area of National Metallurgical Laboratory.
This location is about 3km from NML main campus. Electrical power and potable water
are available in the site.
UNIT SPECIFICATION:
Furnace:
Two coreless air induction furnaces 10 kg & 50 kg capacity, powered by common
power pack of medium frequency (to be run one at a time), mounted on rigid support for
proper pouring by tilting with current leak detection system and proper insulation including
prevention of corona discharge at low vapour pressure and fume collection, & extraction
system as envisaged :

Hydraulic system:
The hydraulic pouring system is to be complete with adequately protected
actuators, necessary pumping unit complete with pump, motor, starter, reservoir, piping
etc with electrics and consumables with control in Control & Monitor unit.
Cooling water system:
The cooling water system to cool down the water to 25 0C –300C is to be complete
with pre-treatment, if required, and Cooling Tower. Maximum outside ambient
temperature at site is 500C. The system has to be complete in all respects with control in
the Control & Monitor unit. Water tank of 2000 L capacity with pump and one standby
pump in the circuit. Non returnable valve for emergency supply of water
Fume extraction system:
Provisions are to be made to take out the gases with hood in position ensuring
ease of operation and maintenance. Movable single fume-hood of 10 meter duct height
and one bag filter collection system for both the furnaces is acceptable.
Powerpack:
One common powerpack will be used for both the furnaces, one at a time, with
easy switch selector over from one to another. This should be of medium frequency,
energy efficient, solid state unit with sound safety and protection features capable of
supplying full power throughout the melt cycle with appropriate snubbers and filters for
power line protection. It should be capable of melting the indicated charge at the rate of
100 kg/hr with minimum top temperature of 1650 0C. The unit should use efficient
components eg SCRs, IGBTs etc. in power circuit and quick acting protection
components eg. Semiconductor fuses, fast acting MCCBs. It should be ensured that on
load, the line power factor will be 0.95+. It should have appropriate short circuit
protection; complete ground/current leak detection systems are also to be provided. The
followings are envisaged for the powerpack:
Rated kW
75
Nominal frequency 3000Hz
kVA required at input
90
Input power 415V, 50 Hz
Melting rate 100 kg/hr
The supplier is free to quote different suitable configuration ensuring the indicated
melting rate of 100 kg/hr
Page 3 of 16
Control & Monitor:
