This is a 10kW, three-phase induction heating system for controlled heating of conductive metal parts, welded fabrications and seized components.
In a bodyshop or fabrication workshop, I would use it for releasing seized fixings, localised heat treatment, correcting welding distortion and preheating assemblies before welding. The electric heating process avoids an open flame, which is useful around vehicles, painted panels and workshop areas where flame heating would create unnecessary risk.
The 400V three-phase supply must be checked before installation, as this is not a standard single-phase machine. Correct coil selection and positioning are also important: keep the applicator close to the work without touching unsuitable surfaces, and heat only the required area. The liquid-cooled torch and cable need the specified coolant level and unobstructed airflow through the radiator.
A common issue is expecting induction to heat every material equally. It works on electrically conductive metals, but thickness, steel grade, access and coil fit all affect the result. Used with the correct setup, it provides repeatable localised heat and avoids wasting time heating surrounding components.
