The Ambrell Group, which comprises
Ameritherm Inc, Cheltenham Induction
Heating Ltd and Ameritherm France SARL,
with worldwide operations in nine countries.
Along with serving industries such as steel,
automotive, forging and foundry, Ajax Tocco
has a global commitment to the tube and
pipe industry.
The company manufactures induction-
heating systems that process up to 120t of
high quality pipe and casing per hour with
consistent quality and ovality. According
to the company, this induction heating
equipment provides a reliable and flexible
supply of heat, with outstanding control.
The Ajax Tocco converters facilitate this
flexibility with a patented, wide operating
window. This allows a larger range of sizes
to be processed in one induction coil size
without the need for capacitor or voltage
switching.
Converting the barrel furnaces to induction
heating for stretch reducing, enables the
use of existing handling equipment and
the advantage of fast, controllable, energy
saving induction heating.
The results can lead to dramatic savings
in space, reduced energy consumption,
improved quality and the benefit of recipe
control.
Ajax Tocco is at the forefront of API pipe
production for the oil and gas industry.
Because casing drill pipe and line drill
pipe reliability is crucial, the company
believes it is a highly dependable source
of supply systems to harden and temper
pipe, casing and couplings to full API
specifications.
An industry expert for pipe and tube
heating, Ajax Tocco specialises in seam
