Sinac: Stationary induction heating systems

Recycling of mining drill bits

Sandvik, the renowned supplier of high-tech engineering equipment and rock tools to the mining industry, has developed a unique circular solution for the recycling of tungsten inserts in drill bits. With a bit of help from EFD Induction, this new and sustainable solution is set to reshape mining and drilling operations in the years ahead.

Speeding up heat pump production

With electricity prices skyrocketing, the demand for energy-efficient heat pumps is rising exponentially. Expert in assembly lines and test stands, DATA AHEAD, is helping heat pump manufacturers ramp up production – facilitated by EFD Induction brazing equipment.

Charging ahead

Two companies that have enjoyed many years of cooperation in another field, now find that their interests merge in electric vehicles. EFD Induction and Norwegian electronics producer Norautron AS are providing different products and services but are both working for zero-emission driving.

Small steps—huge impact

We all want to help the environment. But it can be tough deciding where to start. One small but important step is the change from gas or arc heating to induction heating. It’s good for workers’ environments, too.

The benefits of induction brazing

Quality, speed, precision and safety, as well as cost and energy savings, are only a few of the numerous advantages of using eco-friendly induction heating for brazing jobs.

Extremely fast induction preheating

A world-leading automotive supplier has bought a Sinac induction heating system for steel pump housing production. Less than a second of heating does the job.

Induction hardening and annealing in the textile industry

Hard metal is not the first thing that comes to mind when you put on a lovely, delicate garment but making the fibres soft and fluffy requires sharp, hard steel.

Preheating saves lives

Testing airbag inflators by preheating them guarantees the stability of this high-pressure safety device.

New EFD Induction multipurpose pistol handgrip

EFD Induction aims to leave the competition behind with their new trigger controlled handgrip, which is a future oriented device for multiple uses.

Major chain hardening orders in China

EFD Induction has landed three large induction hardening orders from China’s coal mining industry. The orders involve hardening and tempering lines for 5-60mm diameter chain. The systems are being constructed at EFD Induction facilities in Norway and China.

What is important when designing induction coils?

Correctly designed and built induction coils are absolutely critical for successful, cost-effective induction heating. In fact, designing and testing coils is often the process with the longest lead time when devising an induction heating solution.

Induction heating: Pre-heating steel strands

Belgium-based steel wire specialists ArcelorMittal Fontaine has bought an EFD Induction Sinac induction generator for pre-heating steel strands. The Sinac is a low- frequency 200 kW model.

40% boost in productivity. And that’s just the tip of the story.

KOMET Precision Tools of Bangalore, India had an interesting challenge. Could we devise a solution that increased productivity, while simultaneously ensuring even better and more consistent quality?

Hothead

Over the years EFD Induction solutions have been used to make everything from bras to spaceships. But even we were impressed by the creativity shown by artist Paul Fryer in his use of our technology.

Induction heating for brazing for snowplough blade

Double the output. Better quality. Lower energy costs. It sounds too good to be true. But for Norway’s Scana Steel, these were the results of switching to an EFD Induction brazing solution.

Finishing in style

What do more and more leading auto makers (including BMW, Audi and Volvo) have in common? They’ve all selected EFD Induction to heat treat brake discs against corrosion.

Induction pre-heating dives deep

The Tampen Link project in the North Sea underlines the amazing versatility of induction heating. In this case, EFD Induction expertise is helping weld a branch pipe onto a 20’’ main high-pressure gas pipe located 145 m below the surface of the North Sea… without any interruption in the flow of gas!

The shortcut to better short-circuit ring brazing

Brazing the short-circuit ring (SCR) is a crucial step when manufacturing motor rotors.

On the job for offshore

Welding pipe sections together sounds easy enough. But when the pipe is destined for the tough conditions of North Sea oil and gas fields, post-weld heat treatment is essential.

The largest just got cleaner

A cleaner, safer, more comfortable working environment is a more productive, more profitable working environment.

Building bonds with Jaguar

As one of the world’s most quality-conscious carmakers, few are as choosy about their partners as Jaguar.

7 compelling reasons why induction heating is better than flame brazing

Brazing produces strong, shock-resistant and visually attractive joints. But why select induction heating over flame brazing? There are at least seven compelling reasons:

Industry 4.0 has never been hotter

Induction heating plays a vital role in the emerging connected industrial landscape. Concentrated and controllable heat simplifies the manufacturing process. Remote services are also underway to collect data for analysis, improve spare parts handling and minimize the need for inspection travels.

The New Generation Sinac - Digital to the core

EFD Induction is proud to present the New Generation Sinac with a fully digital control system that is prepared for Industry 4.0. Predictive data and insights will enable reduced use of energy and lower operation costs allowing for a sustainable and profitable production.

Zero emissions. And it has nothing to do with the battery.

The automotive industry is going through a paradigm shift. New powertrains and materials drive the change towards products designed for a circular economy. As induction heating is far more energy-efficient and eco-friendly than other heating alternatives, the technology is growing in importance.
