OTTO JUNKER are about to supply their 100th IGBT converter to the Ossenberg high-grade steel foundry in Altena where an old induction furnace will be replaced by a state-of-the art unit of IGBT technology, equipped with a JOKS melting processor and an OCP (Optical Coil Protection System). As compared to the conventional thyristor technology, the IGBT stands out due to its inherent overload protection against current, voltage and temperature peaks, a constant power factor at the converter entry and low cooling water requirements due to indirect cooling. OTTO JUNKER have supplied this technology since 2001 and are now capable of coping with power ratings of up to 4,000 kW.
The OCP (Optical Coil Protection System) allows a complete monitoring of the temperature field between crucible and coil by using an optical measuring process.
The latest Otto Junker UK tilt rotary continues to deliver outstanding performance. In particular the new innovative 'multi directional door' - a unique Otto Junker feature - has saved so much energy and optimised process control.
