Induction Heater

Induction heating utilizes the intimate relationship between electricity and magnetism. The process consists of a source of alternating current (the induction heater), an induction coil, and the part to be heated. Induction heating is a non-contact method of heating workpieces which are electrically conductive. Because heat is applied in an exact location with exactly the desired temperature, all parts are consistently heated.

Increased Quality and Productivity

Because the workpiece is not in contact with any heating mechanism, its surface cannot be damaged by blow torches or heating plates used in traditional heat treating methods. The perfectly even heating of each part means excellent quality and less scrap. Furthermore, such consistency, plus the immediate readiness of the induction heater, increases productivity.

Safety for User and Part

Induction equipment is user friendly. Whether used for soldering and brazing, or on larger pipe production lines, this equipment has no heated surfaces or open flames that would endanger the operator. Likewise, the part to be turned out is heated internally without any contact with the induction heater, so the process does not damage the part.

Environmentally Friendly

The entire process of induction heating is clean and quiet. Because it uses no fuel-burning, it emits no smoke or unpleasant odors. Also, it does not waste heat or release it into the surrounding environment. Induction heating is a non-polluting, fast, noiseless method of producing high quality parts.
