A dual coil induction heating machine for jewelry factories developed by electromagnetic analysis

Abstract

Induction Heating Machine (IHM) is a crucial device in the jewelry industry, utilizing electromagnetic fields to generate heat and join precious metals. This research focuses on developing a Dual Coil Induction Heating Machine (Dual Coil IHM) to enhance production efficiency and reduce costs in jewelry factories using Electromagnetic Analysis (EMA) through Ansys Maxwell software. The research process began with testing a single-coil IHM under real operating conditions and using EMA to analyze the generated magnetic flux density (B). Subsequently, dual-coil configurations in Parallel and Series arrangements were designed and compared. The experimental results revealed that the series dual coil produced a higher magnetic flux and allowed for optimizing current (I), frequency (f), number of coil turns (N), and coil spacing (d) for better manufacturing performance. The findings indicate that the series dual-coil IHM can double production capacity compared to the conventional single-coil model. Furthermore, EMA technology minimizes physical testing, reduces errors, and enhances precision in designing industrial machinery for the jewelry manufacturing sector.

A Study of Sound Absorption Material Using Rubber Powder from Old Tires

In Thailand, the quantity of old tires has been increasing annually, posing a significant environmental challenge due to their non-biodegradable material. However, old tires contain an internal porous structure, which suggests their potential application as sound-absorbing materials. Porosity is a key characteristic that enables materials to trap sound waves, making them effective for noise reduction. Therefore, this study aims to investigate and develop sound-absorbing materials from old tire rubber powder. The methodology involved mixing old tire powder with fresh latex at a ratio of 1:2, followed by drying at a temperature of 120°C for four hours. Subsequently, the physical properties influencing sound absorption, including density, porosity, and water absorption, were analyzed. The results indicated that the sound-absorbing material produced from old tire rubber powder showed a density of 0.96 g/cm³, a porosity value of 0.45, and a water absorption of 11.03%. Therefore, the findings suggest that old tire rubber powder has the potential to be effectively utilized as a sound-absorbing material.
