Tom Gough, president and CEO of Induction Innovations, a manufacturer of induction heating tools is here to put the company’s case forward for the use of induction heat and reveals its product lines:
Induction heating is a safe, reliable, and flameless heat created by high-frequency magnetic fields. Induction Innovations’ tools remove adhesives bonded to metal and release seized hardware from corrosion or threat lock compounds, all without collateral damage associated with open flames.
Increase productivity, profits, and safety
Induction heat only warms the part within the coil, so the heat is localised, which minimises the damage to the surrounding area and parts can be re-used.
Induction Innovations’ products can heat nuts and bolts in seconds for fast and easy removal, which can save your customers time; for example, using the Mini-Ductor® series, a 19mm nut turns ‘red hot’ in just 15 seconds.
Most importantly, according to the company, using induction heating as an alternative to a naked flame means technicians are safer in the workshop.
Mini-Ductor Venom®
Induction Innovations’ product lines include the Mini-Ductor® handheld units. These units are available in 240V, 110V and 12V versions, and they can remove the likes of corroded exhausts, exhaust manifold bolts, inline connectors, lug and wheel nuts, oxygen sensors.
The Mini-Ductor Venom® is the latest in the Mini-Ductor® series; it features an angled pistol grip design, an LED work light and a coil twist-lock that seals coils in place. A variety of coil accessories can help your customers reach those hard-to-reach areas. The Venom® kit includes a custom fit storage case, three basic coils, an instruction manual, and a two-year warranty.
Inductor® Pro-Max CE
If your customers are looking for more power, Induction Innovations also offers the Inductor® Pro-Max CE. This 2kW induction heating system is an ideal workshop tool that includes the Pro-Max inverter, three attachments, an instruction manual, and one-year warranty.
The attachments include the Concentrator®, which instantly heats hardware in seconds and removes body caulking, seam sealers and hail dents.
The next attachment is the Glass Blaster® for removing bonded glass, SMC panels, metal bond adhesives, and spray-on bedliners. Windscreens can be removed in less than 15 minutes from outside the vehicle.
Finally, the Fast-Off® Pad, which removes vinyl graphics, body side mouldings and sound pads, provides a solvent-free removal process. The adhesive remains on the graphic, leaving a clean surface behind.
