How long have
these induction heaters been around?
Induction heating has existed for almost ten years.
Is the United States the only
country where the induction heaters are in use?
No. Besides being
increasingly popular in the United States they are also used in Canada and
Asia, including Japan, China and Singapore.
In
what industries are these induction heaters being used?
They are currently being used in vessel
manufacturing, bolt manufacturing for the aerospace industry, fruit and
vegetable juice extractors manufacturing, spa heaters fabrication,
motor rebuilding and repair, automotive, solenoids assembly, diamond wheels
fabrication and others.
What are the applications that
the machines can be used for?
They are general brazing, heat treating,
annealing, hot forging, hot thread rolling, burning old insulation off of
large motor shafts, brazing of diamond segments onto cutting wheels,
pre-heating and post-heating for large tanks and many others.
What are the advantages of
Superior Induction heaters over tube-type ones?
The first advantage is
power consumption which means lower electric bills. Tube-type machines are
40 percent efficient meaning that for every watt generated requires 2.5
volt-amps of power input. Whereas our solid-state induction heaters are at
least twice as efficient. The second advantage is size: our machines are
tremendously smaller than the tube-type ones, even much smaller than other
solid-state competitors. The third advantage is the amount of water cooling
needed. Because our induction heaters do not have oscillator tubes to cool,
the water requirements could be up to 1/10 that of its
tube-type cousins.
Are Superior Induction heaters
safer than the tube-types?
Absolutely yes! Oscillator tube induction
heaters require thousands of volts in the DC supply section to power the
oscillator and tank circuits in order to produce the high frequency needed
to get the job done. Our machines are the exact opposite.
How do we know what model of
Superior Induction heater should be used?
It's very simple. You
explain to us by telephone or email what the application will be used for
and what the parameters will be (type of metal to be heated, the time it
should take, what type of coil to be used, etc.). Our sales engineer will
then recommend the correct machine and may possibly request a sample of what
you want to heat up if there is any question. But most of the time the
correct matching of the machine to the part can be done over the telephone.
Do you make and design
inductor work coils?
Yes we do. We have expert
coil design engineers who can design and manufacture a perfect coil for your
application.
What is the warranty on the
machines?
One year parts and labor
What kind of payment do you
accept?
Business check, cashier's check, electronic transfer, or credit card
