Coil refurbishment for ČZ, a.s. 2.5 t Inductotherm



Refurbishment of 2.5 t Inductotherm induction coil

- BV COILS


Refurbishment of the Induction Coil

In the ČZ foundry, the following actions were performed:

  • Determination of the coil damage extent.
  • Conducting the pressure test.
  • Documentation of the pressure test.
  • Removal of the original fabric on the outer part of the coil around the entire circumference.
  • Removal of the original epoxy on the outer part of the coil at the damaged area.
  • Chemical cleaning of deposits outside the profile.
  • Replacement of missing or damaged micanite spacers at the damaged areas.
  • Bandaging the damaged threads with insulation tape.
  • Twice impregnation of the inner part of the coil with varnish.
  • Installation of new epoxy at the damaged areas.
  • Installation of new epoxy around the entire circumference.
  • Installation of new fabric around the entire circumference.

Reference:

We approached BV Coils based on the recommendation of our furnace supplier, Inductotherm. Due to leakage of molten metal onto the coil, we needed a quick repair of our 2.5-ton coil according to Inductotherm standards. The coil was flawlessly refurbished and subsequently installed into the furnace by the BV Coils team. Everything, including furnace commissioning, was carried out on a turnkey basis.
