Mini Ductor Induction heat: not just for the automotive field
What is Induction Heating
Induction heating is the process of heating electrically conductive materials through electromagnetic induction. In simple terms, heat is transferred through a specific induction coil, creating an electromagnetic field within the coil. Conductive materials like steel, copper, or gold can be melted using this application. However, the induction heating process is solely localized to one area, heating the inside of an object, rather than using an external heat source – no external contact is required.
Who is Induction Innovations
Induction Innovations products are well-known in the automotive industry, from removing corroded nuts and bolts with the Mini-Ductor® series to being able to remove spray-on bedliners with the Inductor® series. Removing rusted fasteners is no longer an all-day task. Components can be freed without fear of collateral damage while significantly reducing labor time on multiple automotive-related applications.
Where can this technology be used
Apart from traditional automotive industry applications, here are a few different, yet commonly used applications for Induction Innovation's products:
Agriculture Use: Induction heating for farmers in the agricultural industry is one of the best, most efficient applications as it's both a fast and safe way to release ferrous metal parts. When heated with the Mini Ductor Venom HP induction heater, fasteners covered in rust, corrosion, fertilizer, or thread lock compounds release in seconds, providing a cleaner, easier, and safer way to handle equipment. With a Mini Ductor induction heater, turbo bolts and bearings from combines, sprayers, or tractors can be released without the need for an open flame.
Tractor Use: When operating a tractor, fixing certain pieces like center pin bolts, turbo bolts or adding materials like fertilizer, collateral damage can have incredible negative effects. That's why it's always recommended to use a Mini Ductor magnetic induction heater. It can better assist with farm repair applications and help avoid unnecessary hand injuries or accidental fires.
Marine Use: Induction Innovation's products also work extremely well for the marine industry, with application uses including pre-heating valves for welding, hardening chain links, gears, and winches, removing corroded cylinder head bolts, and handling thermal change on corroded nuts and bolts. Utilizing induction heating for marine use applications will provide an additional level of safety, such as when working on head bolts or bearing bolts inside engine mounts. It also eliminates the usage of unnecessary products.
