Induction Heating Systems (IHS)

Induction heating is a simple, cost-effective heating process that delivers fast and consistent heat in the following applications:

• Welding Fabrication and Construction
• Weld Preheating and Stress Relieving
• Post-Weld Heat Treatment (PWHT)
• Coating Removal
• Shrink Fit Applications
• Compared to flame or resistance heating, induction-heating can save hundreds or thousands of dollars per week
• Induction heating brings a part to temperature in a fraction of the time and holds the part at a specified temperature

• Uniformity and Quality - Provides the highest degree of temperature control across the heat affected zone
• Reduced Cycle Times - Significantly faster time-to-temperature than resistant methods
• Cost Reduction - No fuel costs and minimal insulation costs; reusable insulation reduces disposal and replacement costs
• Power Efficiency - Operates at 92% efficiency transferring more energy to the part, decreased heating times, improved power efficiency
• Ease of Use - Simple set-up using preheat blankets or flexible heating cables; on-board diagnostics and operator tutoring system
• Reliability - Induction heating system-components make cycle interruptions unlikely; simple cabling
• Versatility - Pipe preheat and stress relief; weldolets, elbows, valves, I-beams, complex shapes
• Safety - Fewer fumes; eliminates fuel gases; no exposure to flame, gases, or hot elements
• Environmental - Less airborne particulate; improved work environment results in higher worker productivity

ProHeat Rolling Inductor

Bring pipe, plate, and pressure vessels up to temperature quickly and safely with the Proheat 35 rolling induction system. Power output adjusts automatically with the turning speed of the pipe to avoid overheating and ensuring consistency of temperature across the pipe. Welders can spend more time welding and produce more reliable results.

Applications include pipe fabrication for:

• Oil and pipeline
• Petrochemical industry
• Power generation plants
• HVAC
