Induction Heating System
Bausano Induction Technology

The induction principle applied to the extruder's barrel

For us, the ability to innovate has always been the most important strategic resource: this is why we were the first to apply the principle of electromagnetic induction at an industrial level on extrusion machinery. Unlike traditional resistance-based systems, the barrel is heated without contact by means of an alternating electromagnetic field: a faster and more efficient method, which guarantees top performance by significantly reducing component wear and energy consumption by up to 35%. Bausano Smart Energy System is the effective answer to a concrete need: the optimisation of production processes with a view to sustainable development, respecting people and the environment.

The advantages
of Smart Energy System:

  • Energy Savings
  • Faster Heat-Up
  • Induced eddy currents generate powerful resistive heating directly within the barrel wall
  • Increased heating capacity
  • Faster, tighter temperature control
  • Higher temperature materials processability
  • Maximum coolingefficiency
  • Ease of installation through openable reel heater

SMART ENERGY SYSTEM
More efficient but also much more responsive

Our measurements indicate that the heating efficiency of a ceramic band heater may be 10-15% higher. The remaining energy is wasted by radiation and convection to the surrounding environment.
In contrast induction heating radiation losses are minimized by the insulating sleeves, which rise to a temperature of around 60-70 degree C during operation. The low-resistance induction coils remain cool enough to touch. The induction barrel heating can pay for itself within 18 months in energy savings.
Potential savings at a later stage comes from reduced wiring on new machines, less frequent replacement, savings due to fewer number of spare heater bands in inventory, reduced downtime and improved product quality.
