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.
