Note: Curing ink on aluminum bottle caps
Objective:
Heat aluminum bottle caps to 428 °F (220 °C) for curing the ink
End Product:
Bottle caps
Equipment:
Ambrell 30 kW induction heating system, equipped with a remote workhead containing eight 0.33μF capacitors for a total of 2.64μF
An induction heating coil designed and developed specifically for this application.
Materials:
Aluminum bottle cap 2.36 in (60 mm) tall, 1.18 in (30 mm) diameter & 0.01 in (0.3 mm) thick
Temperature:
428 °F (220 °C)
Frequency:
73 kHz
Testing:
A double channel coil is used for the ink drying application. Fifteen bottle caps are placed inside the coil and power is applied for 3 seconds to dry the ink.
Benefits:
-
Increased production over hot air drying
-
Drastically reduced the drying floor space and exhaust requirements.
-
Hands free operation
