Induction Heating Applications


Inductelec seek to develop long term ‘Technology Development and Processing Partnerships’. Based on not only continually improving product quality, processes and production methods, but also through its Induction Heating Applications expertise, the company aims to effectively provide its partner customers, with access to the most cost efficient, safe and flexible heating and heat treatment technologies available today.

Through its individually tailored, design, build, servicing and dedicated product / process support programmes, Inductelec provide not only a technologically advanced capability in hardening and forging, but also a wide variety of other Induction Heating Applications and heat treatment processes, including Soldering, Brazing, Annealing, Melting, Shrink Fitting, Sintering, Crystal Growing and Bonding, all across an extensive variety of materials and composites.

Technologically driven, coupled with a highly focused sensitivity for both the marketplace and its customers needs, Inductelec has an enviable track record with many of the worlds ‘Blue Chip Companies’ particularly those in the Automotive, Off-Shore, Aerospace, Power Generation, General Engineering, Consumer Appliances and Multi-Material Composites Markets which all utilise Induction Heating Applications.

Manufacturing equipment, production methods and processes designed around traditional gas fired, electric and infra-red heating, especially in conjunction with ovens, furnaces and torches, including adhesives for bonding purposes, can in many cases be considerably improved upon, such that through the adoption of ‘Induction Heating Technology, Equipment and Practices’, many of the attributable features and benefits, cannot be replicated with any other forms of heating media.

Requiring much less standing floor area than conventional heating technology, Induction Heating Applications and equipment use considerably less energy and are demonstrably faster than any other comparable processes. Not only is this form of heating approach able to provide a more highly targeted and focused heat source, but it also generates a greatly improved level of consistently repeatable, product quality and finishes.

Inductelec Induction heating equipment is already in daily use throughout the world in the following Induction Heating Applications:- Shaft hardening, ball pin hardening, steering components, hot heading, thread rolling, forging pneumatic fittings, post weld annealing pipe joints, hardening gears, forging axles, forging crankshafts, forging anti roll bars, forging hammers & forging engine valves.
