Industrial metalworking with coke-fueled smelters is a dirty job. Coke, a coal product, is extremely messy and creates pollutants. Replacing coke smelters with induction heating and melting technology has changed all that.
Induction creates a magnetic field around the container holding the metal.
The metal is heated via eddy currents produced by magnetic field pulsations. Unlike coke, magnetic fields are clean and pollution-free. Induction technologies can heat any metal from iron to gold, and can be used for forging and rolling as well. Precise temperature controls yield a better quality product. Cooler, cleaner, and safer.
