CIME CRESCENZI has installed more than 600 induction furnaces worldwide
CAP furnace
The revolutionary CAP – Coreless Automatic Press Pouring – is the only coreless system in the world capable of automatically press-pouring in conjunction with any automatic molding line.
The CAP features an elliptical coil design that enhances duct heating and improves overall electrical efficiency. In this innovative design, the ducts are positioned within the magnetic field of the induction coil, ensuring continuous heating.
This constant, uniform heating allows the pouring cycle to begin at any time without the risk of freezing or slag adhesion. Slag remains fluid, floating above the molten metal, and can be easily removed.
outstanding benefit of the cap
Precise Pouring – Reduced sprue-cups and zero overflowing, for cleaner and more efficient casting.
Higher Productivity – No delays in metal supply correspond to an increase in production.
Energy Efficiency – Lower power consumption and the flexibility to shut down during weekends or longer breaks.
Operational Flexibility – Capable of remelting frozen metal without complications.
Consistent Quality – Uniform bath temperature at all times thanks to induction-heated inlet/outlet ducts.
Low Maintenance – Self-cleaning ducts through inducted heat minimize downtime.
Fast Superheating – Rapid temperature increase (60–100 °C/hour) for quicker readiness.
Durable Design – Dry-rammed lining ensures long service life and reliability.
Trusted Performance – Guaranteed reliability for pouring 100% ductile iron.
INDUCTION FURNACE
Induction melting furnaces powered by medium frequency (MF) converters with IGBT (Insulated-Gate Bipolar Transistor) are devices primarily used for metal melting and other industrial applications that require high temperature levels and precision in thermal control.
The MF IGBT converter is a power supply necessary for the parallel resonant load for the induction heating, and it utilizes a new type of semiconductor device: the IGBT.
The new equipment has been designed to replace the medium-frequency SCR converter (previous technology).
key advantages of induction furnace with igbt technology
⚡ Constant Output Power & Fast Melting
Always delivers steady output, regardless of crucible load or lining thickness. Especially effective with materials with low magnetic permeability like stainless steel, copper, and aluminum — ensuring faster melting and fewer defects.
💡 Higher Efficiency
Efficiency is about 3-5% higher than traditional SCR converters, delivering top performance at any power level.
🌐 Stable Operation
No harmonic interference, no network pollution, and full protection for connected equipment. A smarter, cleaner power solution.
🔄 Reliable Startup
With IGBT technology, startup is smooth, fast, and always successful.
📈 High Power Factor
Power factor is always grater than >0.95, meaning minimal energy waste and no need for additional capacitor banks.
