Induction heating system
installed
INDUCTION heating system
manufacturer Ambrell has installed
an Ekoheat 250kW/10kHz induction
heating system for an oil industry pipe
manufacturer. The solution allows the
operator to remove coatings from pipes
ranging from under one foot to three
feet in diameter.
The client came to Ambrell because
it was using a lower power induction
heating system that was unable to
remove coatings as quickly as required.
The Ambrell Applications Lab ran a Lab
Service Request (LSR) and determined
that a 250kW/10kHz system would heat
the pipe to temperature (400°F) in the
targeted time, which would enable the
client to increase production.
The client purchased an Ambrell
250kW induction heating system along
with three different coils for the various
size pipes. It also decided to leverage
Ambrell’s Start-Up Assistance service.
Ambrell’s products are CE
certified and manufactured
in an ISO9001:2008 certified
facility in Scottsville, New
York, USA. The company
has installed over 10,000
systems in more than 50
countries.
