Case Study: Aluminum Melting Furnace XCJD-2000KG for a Die-Casting Foundry
Pingxiang Xinchen Furnace, an industrial furnace manufacturer in Pingxiang, Jiangxi, China, supplied the equipment for this project. An aluminum die-casting foundry was melting 8 to 10 tons of aluminum alloy per shift with two aging oil-fired crucible furnaces. Fuel cost was rising, temperature control was manual, and dross rates were climbing. The foundry wanted an induction furnace that could hold a stable pouring temperature with lower running cost.
The equipment
We supplied an XCJD-2000KG digital power supply variable frequency induction melting furnace: capacity 2000 kg, configured power 450 KW, maximum operating temperature 1200 °C, melting time 1.6 hours. The digital IGBT power supply adjusts frequency to the load, keeps power factor high across the melting cycle, and reaches a power conversion efficiency above 95% compared with the foundry's previous conventional furnace.
Installation and layout
The furnace was installed next to the die-casting cells with a transformer and variable frequency control cabinet in the power room, and a cooling tower with circulating water pool for the cooling circuit. Remote commissioning was done by video call with the foundry's electrician; no overseas service trip was required for the start-up.
Key specifications (XCJD aluminum melting series)
Nine models from XCJD-100KG to XCJD-2000KG: capacity 100-2000 kg, melting rate 100-1500 KG/H, configured power 40-450 KW, max operating temperature 1200 °C, melting time 1.6 h. IGBT digital power supply with energy-saving efficiency above 95%.
The result
The foundry now melts about 2 tons per batch with stable pouring temperature, lower dross, and a measurable drop in energy cost per ton of molten aluminum. The same XCJD series is available from 100 to 5000 kg for aluminum, and matching models cover copper, zinc, tin and precious metals.
