EKOHEAT induction heating systems for 50-150 kHz range provide reliable and repeatable solutions
for high-speed heating of smaller parts where the part geometry or the coil size requires high frequency
for efficient heating. Among many typical applications are heat treating of steels, shallow case depth
hardening, and heating of steel, aluminum, copper or brass for brazing, shrink fitting, curing, forming
and melting.

EKOHEAT is CE marked and manufactured at our IS0 9001:2008 certified facility
