A range of Energy Efficient Industri
Industrial possibilities with MagComp Induction heating technology
Induction heating works with most metallic materials and MagComp has experience from several different materials, manufacturing processes and industries. Energy efficiency, low energy consumption and small environmental footprint is key factors for any industry. MagComp high efficient induction heating technology can be part of the solution for both the transfer to electrical heating leaving the fossil fuel based technologies as well as when using electrical heating doing so with high efficiency in the transfer from electrical energy to heat in the industry process
Metal working industry
Induction heating is applicable in many sectors of the metal working industry. In the steel industry as preheater prior to furnaces or for drying of steel strips
in various coating processes.
Coloring of steel strips i.e., blue annealing is also a suitable application for MagComp Induction heating technology.
In rolling operations for preheating strip material or heating rollers, complete or partially, in the rolling mill.
Vehicle manufacturing
In manufacturing of heavy vehicles and construction equipment shrink fitting is used for various assembly operations. Shrink fitting requires either an intensive cooling to shrink one part or heating up one part to
expand it. With MagComp Induction heating technology heating up a part of a construction to expand holes is easy.
In automotive industry the use of high strength material is increasing. In some forming processes i.e. hot stamping or press hardening there is a need for heating up the sheet metal and MagComp Induction heating technology can be used either as only heating source or as a hybrid solution in combination with a furnace.
Mining equipment manufacturing
In manufacturing of mining equipment shrink fitting is used for various assembly operations. Shrink fitting requires either an intensive cooling to shrink one part or heating up one part to expand it. With MagComp
Induction heating technology heating up a part of a construction to expand holes is easy.
Fast and accurate heating in the region where it is needed to create the expansion opens the possibility to change production lines from batching products in chamber furnaces to heating in-line in the assembly shop.
Packaging industry
Packaging includes many different materials and combination of materials that are in some processes joined together by heating. Heating is either applied directly to the material or indirectly over heated rollers or surfaces.
Laminating industry
Laminating of material is done by a combination of heat and pressure. Pressure is supplied by rollers creating nip where the material is pressed together. Pressure can also be supplied by belts that are pressed together in for example Double Belt Presses. Pressure can also be applied in various single action presses. Depending on the process and the process equipment heating is needed either on rollers, belts or press tools.
MagComp Induction heating technology is possible to use in many setups as an alternative to for example hot air or thermal oil.
Textile & Fiber industry
Textile and Fiber manufacturing includes heating for drying and/or shrinking fibers or woven material. Calendaring over a set of rollers is a common process step as well as using belts, solid or mech, to carry the fiber material through the process.
MagComp Induction heating technology is suitable for both heating rollers as well as metal belts within the textile industry
Food processing and baking
Induction heating is today very common in our kitchens where induction stoves are replacing old electrical stoves as well as gas stoves. The efficiency you get by induction in the kitchen can also be achieved in industrial food processing lines.
In the kitchen induction is heating the steel pan and in the same way in food industry induction heating must be applied to metal object that is in contact with the food to be fried, cooked, or baked.
Printing industry
Printing industry includes heating of rollers in some printing techniques and there MagComp Induction heating technology can be an alternative to thermal oil or other heating systems.
Rubber industry
Rubber manufacturing industry includes heating of tools, inserts, rollers and other components. Many geometries are specialized and might not be suitable for MagComp Induction heating technology but for example heating rollers or planar structures can be suitable for a MagComp solution.
Waste handling and Recycling industry
Most processes are producing waste material that needs to be taken care of in one way or another. Two main processes are often considered – recycling or disposal. The responsibility of industry today is that most of a product must be possible to recycle and such processes as de-bonding material often require heating of a metal core. Induction heating can be an efficient alternative for heating.
Minimizing transportation of waste material has become more important and therefore drying the waste material close to where it is produced is therefore interesting. Depending on solution for drying MagComp Induction heating technology can be used.
