RENEWABLE HEATING WALES

Surface mount inductors are used for heating processes in the food industry, in packaging machines or in embossing processes in the graphics industry. The material thickness of the heated tools can be reduced due to the surface energy input. This increases the dynamics of the process and saves energy.

The controller is a fieldbus device for the control of up to 7 power modules from the modular heating System from Kendrion, which are directly connected via the module bus. In addition to system monitoring, the controller can also control or regulate the individual output channels of all power modules. Actual temperature values can be delivered directly via CAN fieldbus or provided by a higher-level controller e.g. a PLC.

The induction generator module is designed to supply up to 6 induction coils (inductors) with a power of up to 3 kW each. The device operates on the three-phase mains with a voltage of up to 400 V and a frequency of 50/60 Hz. The mains current is rectified and fed to the DC link, from which the inductors are individually supplied. The output power is controlled via the Kendrion controller of the modular industrial heating system. The setting range from 0% to 100% can be selected individually for each channel. By using state-of-the-art semiconductor switches, the output stages achieve high efficiencies, at working frequencies up to 25 kHz.
