From process data to a plant concept

Design starts with the material and the required process. Dimensions, target temperature, cycle time, melting rate, operating mode and existing infrastructure define power, frequency, inductor geometry, cooling and control.

For retrofit projects, the grid connection, transformer, furnace, resonant circuit, cooling and automation are assessed as one system.

  • Feasibility and concept studies
  • Energy and power balance
  • Interface and safety concept

FEM simulation and validation

Electromagnetic models reveal magnetic flux density, current density, coupling and local component loading before manufacturing. Thermal models evaluate heating time, surface/core temperature and gradients.

Simulation makes alternatives comparable and supports transparent dimensioning of inductors, coils, resonant circuits and cooling systems.

  • Magnetic flux density |B|
  • Electrical current density |J|
  • Temperature distribution

Integration and commissioning

HBB Induction coordinates the converter, transformer, capacitor bank, furnace or inductor, cooling plant, PLC, HMI and production interfaces.

Commissioning includes functional and protection tests, power and frequency tuning and optimisation under production conditions.
