The World's First Quad-Trak(TM) System Installed and Commissioned
Inductotherm is very proud to announce the world's first four-furnace Quad-Trak(TM) System has been successfully installed and commissioned at AIA ENGINEERING LTD., a producer of grinding media.
AIA Engineering, an ISO 9001 certified company, specializes in the design, development, manufacture, installation and servicing of high-chromium wear, corrosion and abrasion resistant castings used in the cement, mining and thermal power generation industries.
The Quad-Trak System consists of four 5000 kW inverters, each connected to an 8000 kg steel frame furnace fed by a 24-pulse input 10,000 kW converter system. This System gives AIA complete production flexibility with minimum electrical installation cost and maximum electrical savings. The unique qualities of the Quad-Trak System will allow AIA to run at 100% power utilization, resulting in the highest production possible with the lowest connected kVA from the utility company. The expected production target is 10,000 TPM, working 25 days/3 shifts. Maintenance costs are greatly reduced as high-power furnace transfer switches with associated bus bars are not needed with Quad-Trak.
A significant advantage of multiple-output induction power supply technology is the ability to sinter or cold-start multiple furnaces simultaneously or sinter one furnace while melting in others. And the unique design of the Inductotherm converter does this without costly harmonics filters or line power factor problems, common with other designs offering reduced life cycle cost.
With the Quad-Trak System's single set of power and water connections and the kVA of a single unit, significant savings in installation and maintenance costs are realized. They also require much less space in the melt shop than separate units. Overall, Multi-Trak systems ensure minimal investment per ton of metal poured.
