Atos Induction has exploited the benefits of magnetic induction to create an innovative heating solution dedicated
to one of the most widespread industrial processes:
plasticizing systems.
Inductive technology applied to plasticizing barrels offers multiple advantages over traditional resistive heating systems:
- Energy saving up to 30% on heating energy consumption
- Uniform heat distribution
- 30% less of installed electrical power respect equivalent machine with resistors
- Very fast heating, less than half time if compared to resistors
- High precision of temperature control, thanks to the absence of thermal inertia and instantaneous heat transfer
of inductive technology
- Long operating life due to the reduced thermal stresses of the inductive coil
The solution engineered by Atos Induction allows the replacement of heating elements in both new and existing machines, using the same timed or thermoregulated control logic of traditional resistive systems.
Typical application is composed by one or more coils, depending on the number of barrel zones to be heated, where each coil is powered by an electronic power generator. The customer’s machine central unit manages thermoregulation of each single zone, enabling or disabling the relevant power generator according to temperature feedbacks.
