Furnace Processor: PRODAPT - HP

ABP offers for their pouring and holding furnaces the furnace processor PRODAPT - HP.

The channel furnace processor PRODAPT - HP has been developed for an automatic and continuous monitoring and recording of all importance control parameters.

The system features the following functions:

• collection of values
• visualization of these values
• limit value monitoring and signalling
• trend monitoring
• trouble signalling system
• short-time logging of all measuring values
• long-time logging of selected measuring values
• updated trend representation of measuring values
• automatic draw-up of the inductor diagram
• inductor operation data determination

Inductor Diagram:
Especially in channel-type induction furnaces, the most strained part of the furnace, namely the refractory lining of the inductor channel, can - during the entire cycle - not be evaluated, neither optically nor mechanical. Wear and/or changes of the channel cross-section lead to changes in the resulting impedance of the inductor channel. This, in turn, leads to changes in the electrical measuring values (active and reactive power) which can be read on the installed measuring devices. Recording and evaluation of these measuring values allow an evaluation of the inductor channel geometry (inductor diagram).
