Banyard wins contract in India
INDUCTOTHERM Heating & Welding,
working in partnership with Inductotherm
Group India, has won a contract to
supply an aluminium producer in India
with a complete induction heating
system, including one of the latest
generation of Banyard LFi precision low-
frequency induction power supplies.
At the heart of the Banyard system,
poweredby the latest in IGBT technology,
is a high-efficiency, multi-layer induction
heating coil that ensures precision
control of the billet temperature across
multiple temperature zones in order to
achieve billet temperature homogeneity
and repeatability – two major benefits
derived from the use of Banyard
technology. The new, upgraded LFi also
offers a more compact footprint, and
features a touch-screen HMI for display
and control of all process variables.
Improved access to SPC data is
provided by USB and/or Micro SD ports.
The above Banyard LFi system
can be designed and custom built for
operation on all types of extrusion press.
Engineers from Inductotherm Group
India worked in close partnership with
their UK colleagues to ensure that the
Banyard LFi induction power supply,
billet loading and discharge pushers
plus mechanical billet transfer and
handling systems were manufactured to
customer requirements.
