EKOHEAT induction heating systems provide reliable and repeatable solutions for heating larger parts when efficient heating of your part dimensions requires higher frequencies than our 10kHz models. Among the many typical applications are heat treating of steels, preheating for forging of steel, aluminum, copper or brass, crystal growing, and heating of graphite and metal crucibles.
With the versatile EKOHEAT power control System you get rapid tuning, efficient and précisé heating of your parts, power control within 0.2% resolution and an easy-to-use, easy-to-read front panel. Remote control is accomplished with 0-10V, 4-20mA inputs, RS485 serial port, 24V Controls, Modbus and remote E-Stop input so intégration with your automated production lines is easy.
EKOHEAT technology improves return on investment by reducing your energy usage compared to gas-fired and résistive heating techniques. Flameless, non-contact induction heating minimizes energy waste by focusing energy only on the part and zone to be heated. With very efficient power conversion and a power factor greater than 0.9, utility demand charges are reduced, lowering monthly energy bills. EKOHEAT VPA Systems are designed on a host/client principle so you can add additional power should your process require it in the future.
A separate cabinet houses the resonating capacitor bank, available in several different sizes to meet customer-specific applications. This workhead may be placed up to 30 meters from the power supply.
Alternatively the resonating capacitor may be mounted in an extra bay to locate it with the power supply.
