Patent number: 11706849Abstract: A shaping machine includes a melting vessel, an induction coil arranged on the melting vessel for inductively heating, in particular melting, a material, and a shaping cavity. The melting vessel has at least one irradiation region which is substantially permeable for an electromagnetic field, and the shaping machine is adapted to cool the material in the cavity in such a way that a substantially crystalline solid body is formed. A body with a higher magnetic permeability than the melting vessel is arranged overlapping the irradiation region, and the induction coil is arranged between the body and the irradiation region.Type: GrantFiled: June 6, 2016Date of Patent: July 18, 2023Assignee: ENGEL AUSTRIA GMBHInventors: Wolfgang Amrhein, Hubert Mitterhofer, Siegfried Silber, Werner Kappelmueller, Andreas Prokesch

Publication number: 20190321882Abstract: A melting unit for an injection unit of a moulding machine, includes a melting vessel, an induction coil surrounding the melting vessel at least in areas for the inductive melting of a conductive material to be arranged in the melting vessel. At least in that area where it is surrounded by the induction coil, the melting vessel has an irradiation area that is substantially permeable to an electromagnetic field, and has a delivery opening for the melted conductive material. The melting vessel consists of a non-metallic material at least in the radiation area and in that the melting vessel has an uninterrupted lateral surface.Type: ApplicationFiled: April 1, 2019Publication date: October 24, 2019Inventors: Rainer HOELZL, Andreas Josef FRIES, Werner KAPPELMUELLER
