Channel Coating Pots
Inductotherm Channel Coating Pots are used by the steel industry for the continuous coating of steel strip.
Features
Channel Coating Pots provide good inductor refractory life making them ideal for galvanized, galvannealed and Galfan® coatings. They are also used for aluminum zinc and other aluminum alloy coatings. Channel inductors contain induction coil assemblies and a magnetic core made of special transformer sheet laminations. These pots are designed to hold very large volumes of metal. Inductotherm Channel Coating Pots feature:
- A rectangular design to allow for large volumes for direct ingot feeding
- Heavy gauge steel plates for excellent refractory support
- Temperature monitoring to enhance reliability
- On-site preparation with custom dry rammed refractory around a consumable channel mold (can be hung within 24 hours of installation)
- Optional bogies and lifts for multiple pot installations
- Water-cooled or air-cooled inductors
