World-class Induction Heating Systems

EKOHEAT 75 kW through 250 kW induction heating systems for the 5-15 kHz range provide reliable and repeatable solutions for heating with large coils or for heating larger parts. Among the many typical applications are heating of hard-to-couple parts, deeper heat penetration, heat treating steel, preheating for forging of steel, aluminum, copper or brass, and melting in crucibles.

EKOHEAT is CE marked and manufactured at our IS0 9001:2015 certified facility.

With the versatile EKOHEAT power control system you get rapid tuning, efficient and precise 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 integration with your automated production lines is easy.

EKOHEAT technology improves return on investment by reducing your energy usage compared to gas-fired and resistive 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 systems are designed for efficient use of cooling water, further lowering your operating costs.

The EKOHEAT 75 kW through 250 kW induction heating systems are water-cooled, requiring connection to a heat exchanger or other means of dissipating heat.
