MOBILE HEAT TREATMENT EQUIPMENT

HM31
HM31 is an inverter based preheating and annealing unit
especially for tubes. Setting, control and monitoring of HM 31
is carried out by the HeatMaster Control System. HM31 is
small and light in weight, which enables easy handling and Tecnical data
transportation. For power supply HM31 is connected to
Connection voltage 220 ... 240 V; one phase
mains current socket, which enables the use of short cables.

INDUCTION HEAT TREATMENT WITH HEAT TREATMENT RESISTORS

HM31’s power source is an inverter, enabling the use of even

the smallest special resistors and heating of a very small objects.
Technical data of the resistrors are given on their own brochures.
HeatMaster resistors suitable for the HM31 unit:

Resistor type Quantity/HM31

VHV annealing heater 1
VHVP, annealing heater 2
VHK-spreader heater 1
HM31 VHY-stud heater 1
VET-preheating element 1
Operations to heat treat a tube maximum Ø140 mmm: VETS-preheating element 1
* Weld the thermocouple wire (max. 2 pcs) on the VETI-preheating element 1
welding seam by using the thermocouple attachment VETIS-preheating element 1
unit HM250. VEK-preheating element 1
* Cover the tube with thermal insulation and wind the VEKS-preheating element 1
induction coil around the oject to be heated. VLV-channel heater 1
* Connect cables to HM31 and start the heating.

The induction only heats the tube material, radiating heat loss
remains very small. Maximum temperature with induction method
is around 700 °C. If a higher temperature is required a heating
resistor is to be used.
HAET TREATMENT DOCUMENTS
HeatMaster system enables easy printing of heat treatment
certificates, based on the data of the heat treatment results.

INDUCTION ANNEALING WITH TWO HM31

UNITS
Large tube diameters and thick materials require annealing with

two HM31 units. Two units is needed when tube diameter

exceeds 140 mm
When using two HM31 units for annealing tthe object to be
heated must have at least one measuring point for each unit.
* Cover the tube with thermal insulation material and
wind the induction coil on both sides of the object.
* Connect the cables and start the heating.

The HeatMaster Heat Treatment Control System enables

simultaneous control of dozens of heat treatment processes.
