Modern induction heating systems cut energy costs

A Cheltenham Induction Heating product story

Edited by the Manufacturingtalk editorial team Oct 1, 2009

Cheltenham Induction Heating will demonstrate how the elimination of furnaces or gas torches can create savings and reduce direct energy costs at the Manufacturing Technology Ireland Show 2009.

The company claims that manufacturers can reduce the impact of spiralling energy costs in processes such as the heat treatment, soldering and melting of metal by switching to the use of modern induction heating systems.

Induction heating has traditionally been used to heat metal parts in applications such as the soldering, brazing, hardening and melting of metals.

However, the versatility of modern induction heating systems means that they can be used in a variety of processes, from creating ceramic components at temperatures in excess of 2,400C to gently curing adhesive for bonding the felt light trap to a 35mm film cassette.

Virtually no warm-up time means energy on-time can be as low as 10ms, making heating processes efficient and increasing throughput, according to Cheltenham Induction Heating.

With no combustion taking place, the process is said to be clean and environmentally friendly.

This year's Manufacturing Technology Ireland Show will take place on 14-15 October at the National Show Centre in Dublin.
