Vacuum induction melting furnace (Inteco)

The Vacuum Induction Melting (VIM) process has been established as the most important primary vacuum melting technique for today´s industrial production of high performance special steels and super alloys for most demanding applications. VIM produced ingots are often used as electrodes in Electro Slag Remelting (ESR) and/or Vacuum Arc Remelting (VAR) processes. INTECO’s competence in the field of special steel plants has included the development of a completely new furnace design (developed in recent years), which enables our customers to reliably produce high end materials in a most modern way.

Variations:

• Single- or multi-chamber design
• Casting chamber in mould tunnel or turn table design
• Heat sizes from lab scale up to 30t
• Charging chamber design for fast change of crucible is possible

USP‘s of INTECO Design:

• Diagonal split design for melting and casting chamber for best access and safety
• Shortest tundish design for reduced risk of nozzle freezing
• All vacuum valves are of vertical design (unaffected by dirt and heat radiation)
• Tailor made design t
• IMAS management system, Level 2
• Reliable, proven power supply system and vacuum system
