Melt-Manager Control Systems
Melt-Manager™ Control Systems are our entry level to smart systems that utilize embedded microprocessor controls and provide the operator with melt control modes and diagnostics for analysis and support.
Features
Melt-Manager™ Control Systems integrate a colour touch-screen LCD display that provides direct access to inverter information and controls, including:
- Melt Control Modes: The kilowatt hour melting feature allows the operator to input a kilowatt hours per ton and furnace weight to calculate the kilowatt hours needed to reach pouring temperature. This also provides a safety hold power feature which maintains a furnace bath temperature when the kilowatt hour count is complete.
- Preheat Controls: The automatic cold start feature allows the operator to input a heating schedule to preheat the furnace lining to reduce manpower requirements and production efficiency. The sintering feature also improves long lining life by allowing the operator to input a heating profile to automate the sinter control process.
- Easy-to-access Diagnostics: Provides main display of equipment meters, alarms and event information with a colour-coded status. The furnace inductance calculation feature can aid the operator in determining the furnace lining condition.
