To combat global warming, we suggest a lot more intense heat

Solar panels. Giant wind turbines. Electric cars, buses and trains. Amid the alarming newspaper headlines it’s easy to forget that technology is actually fighting back against global warming. A crucial weapon in that fight is induction heating.

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.

Tube boiler extraction

Have you enjoyed a sweet snack today? If so, there is a good chance that the sugar came from Brazil, where EFD Induction is now offering their service and equipment rental to sugarcane mills. Our Minacs are the ideal tool for changing the tube connections on boilers.

EFD Induction lands induction coil order from Voith Hydro AB

EFD Induction has received a contract from Voith Hydro AB for the supply of 12 induction coils.The coils will be used for induction brazing applications during the construction of a new hydropower dam.

ANDRITZ HYDRO uses induction heating for copper brazing

Two of Europe’s leading power generation technology companies recently placed repeat orders for EFD Induction’s mobile Minac Twin systems. The first, ANDRITZ HYDRO, involves a Minac 25/40 Twin.

The Italian job

Venice, home to Piazza San Marco, the Rialto Bridge... and a rather interesting bolt expansion job on a steam turbine.

Induction heating hardens giant slewing rings

A patented EFD Induction innovation hardens the giant slewing rings used in wind turbines—without leaving any unwanted ‘soft zones’.

Here Comes the Sun (and the Silicon)

Silicon. It’s the earth’s second-most abundant element. And products containing silicon are widespread, the most common being semiconductors. But now induction heating is being applied to silicon to help solve one of humanity’s biggest challenges: the production of clean, affordable and abundant electricity.

Heating up the winds of change

Oil crisis… energy crunch… global warming. All of us are aware of the need to find sustainable alternatives to fossil fuels. One of the most promising alternatives is wind.

British Energy utilises induction heating for bolt expansion

Induction heating is rightly prized for its versatility. But bolt heating? Is induction really an effective alternative to traditional gas and resistance heating methods?
