The Hidden Cost of Temperature Loss โ€” Eliminated

๐ŸŒก๏ธ Temperature Drops Between Pours

Every time your furnace sits idle, temperature drops. Re-melting solid or semi-solid metal wastes electricity and slows your casting cycle.

๐Ÿ’ธ Electricity Wasted on Re-Heating

Foundries spend 15โ€“25% of their total energy budget re-heating metal that was never properly held. This is pure waste.

โฑ๏ธ Slow Production Cycles

Waiting for metal to reach pouring temperature before each casting cycle reduces throughput and ties up your mold line.

๐Ÿ“Š Inconsistent Melt Quality

Temperature swings change the metallurgical properties of your melt. Inconsistent pour temperature = inconsistent casting quality and higher scrap rates.

Holding Furnace

The YuRun Induction Holding Furnace is designed to sit between your melting furnace and your casting station โ€” maintaining a precise, ready-to-pour melt temperature 24 hours a day. Whether you're running a high-volume iron foundry or a precision aluminum casting line, the holding furnace eliminates the productivity killer of temperature loss and re-melting cycles.

Temperature control accuracy of ยฑ5ยฐC means the metal arriving at your molds is always within spec. The low-power hold mode draws only a fraction of peak melting power, making continuous operation economical even during shift changes or mold changeovers. Available in channel-type and crucible-type designs to suit your metal and process requirements.

Built to Solve Real Production Problems

ยฑ5ยฐC Precision Temperature Hold

PLC-controlled temperature regulation keeps your melt within ยฑ5ยฐC of setpoint continuously โ€” far tighter than burner-heated holding furnaces which fluctuate by ยฑ20ยฐC or more.

โšก

Low-Power Hold Mode

Once target temperature is reached, the furnace switches to hold mode consuming only 10โ€“15% of rated power. Holding 1 ton of molten iron overnight costs a fraction of re-melting from solid.

๐Ÿ”„

Continuous Production Flow

Eliminate the start-stop cycle. Metal is always ready at the correct pouring temperature โ€” no waiting, no re-heating delays between pours. Your casting line runs at maximum efficiency.

๐Ÿ“ฑ

Real-Time Temperature Monitoring

7" color touchscreen shows live temperature curves, alarm history, and energy consumption. Alerts operators before temperature drifts outside acceptable range.

๐Ÿงฒ

Electromagnetic Stirring

Induction heating creates natural electromagnetic stirring of the melt โ€” ensuring chemical homogeneity throughout the entire holding volume without mechanical agitators.

๐Ÿ”ง

Channel or Crucible Design

Channel-type holding furnaces suit continuous iron and copper casting. Crucible-type suits batch aluminum, brass, and precious metal operations requiring easy draining and cleaning.

Frequently Asked Questions

How much electricity does a holding furnace use vs. re-melting?โ–ผ
A properly-sized holding furnace operating in hold mode uses only 10โ€“15% of peak melting power. For a 1-ton iron melt at 1450ยฐC, holding overnight typically consumes 30โ€“50 kWh. Re-melting from room temperature to pouring temperature requires 500โ€“600 kWh. The savings are dramatic when you need metal available across multiple shifts.
Can the holding furnace work directly with our existing melting furnace?โ–ผ
Yes. The holding furnace operates independently with its own power supply and controls. It can receive metal from your existing melting furnace via ladle or direct tapping. No modifications to your melting furnace are required.
What is the difference between channel-type and crucible-type holding furnaces?โ–ผ
Channel-type holding furnaces use a submerged induction channel to heat the metal โ€” ideal for iron and copper which must remain continuously liquid. Crucible-type uses a standard induction coil around a crucible โ€” better for aluminum, brass, and metals that need regular draining or batch changeovers.
How accurate is the temperature control?โ–ผ
Our PLC-controlled system maintains ยฑ5ยฐC from setpoint under normal operating conditions. A dual-sensor system (thermocouple + infrared) cross-checks temperature continuously to detect sensor failure and maintain accuracy.
What happens during a power outage?โ–ผ
The furnace has a power failure alarm and automatic power restoration sequence. For short outages (<30 minutes), most metals remain liquid without any intervention due to thermal mass. For longer outages, the PLC resumes heating automatically when power is restored.
