Before and after: a 10-ton steel shell induction melting furnace rebuild at ITC, in its final stages before it ships back to the customer.
The furnace came in after years in a melt shop. We took it down to the bare shell: steel ring, cast top, cooling ring, faraday ring, shunts, panel covers, coil extensions, brick and coil all came out.
What went into the rebuild:
✅ Coil completely rebuilt and resized, with all new G-10 supports
✅ Shunts, cooling ring and faraday ring insulated
✅ New shunt packs
✅ New mica top and bottom, plus new mica tubes on all tie rods
✅ Steel shell, steel ring, panel covers, cooling ring and faraday ring sandblasted; shell, ring and covers repainted
✅ Brick bottom installed and coil grouted
Once final checks are done, it goes back to the customer and into service.
A rebuild like this gives a foundry a second service life from the furnace it already owns, without the cost and lead time of a new installation.
