Induction Heating Equipment Manufacturer
What is Induction Heating?
Induction heating is a fast, efficient, and non-contact method for heating conductive materials such as metals and semiconductors by applying an alternating magnetic field. It has quickly become the preferred heating technologies for industrial applications due to its advantages over traditional heating techniques (resistance heating, flame heating, ovens, furnaces, etc.). Induction heating is particularly useful for performing highly precise or repetitive operations.
Interpower Induction uses this method for heating applications across a multitude of industries. How does this method differ from other heating processes?
To the typical engineer, induction is a fascinating method of heating. Watching a piece of metal in a coil turn cherry red (watching materials heat quickly without a flame) in a matter of seconds can be surprising to those unfamiliar with induction heating. Induction heating equipment requires an understanding of physics, electromagnetism, power electronics and process control, but the basic concepts behind induction heating are simple to understand.
Clean Energy
Induction systems are electrically powered with no fossil fuels. This power may be produced from environmentally sustainable energy such as wind, hydro, and solar power.
Modern Technology
Power Supplies, also known as power converters, use the latest in Insulated Gate Bipolar Transistor (IGBT) and Silicon Carbide (SiC) transistors.
High Efficiency
As the pioneer of Zone Control Technology, our systems offer multiple fully-controllable outputs from one converter. This allows for unique configurations and simultaneous processing of different parts.
