Energy-Saving Induction Heating Power Supplies

eldec’s powerful induction generators with efficiency ratings greater than 90% waste less energy.

Better parts & lower utility costs

Speed up your production without sacrificing precision. eldec’s powerful induction generators with efficiency ratings greater than 90% waste less energy. During waiting times or pause intervals, our power supplies require virtually no energy (except standby power for the control system). In addition, the induction process can also be restarted immediately, without a delay or warm-up period. We’ll help you get brazing, shrink fitting and tough annealing jobs done right. For more than 20 years, we have custom manufactured induction power supplies and induction heating coils for companies in the U.S., Canada and Mexico. Our experienced engineers will design power supplies and induction heating coils to fit your specific part – large or small. Each system is manufactured to improve your part quality as well as increase the speed and efficiency of your manufacturing process whether your job is in the shop or out in the field.

Induction heating power supply services

Unlike large machinery dealers, our commitment to our customers goes beyond the sale of equipment. eldec offers a complete range of aftermarket services because we know that sharing technical knowledge and hands-on experience is just as important as selling quality equipment and tools. Our equipment services include:

  • Custom induction power supply design and manufacturing – our generators are custom manufactured byexperienced engineers specifically for your part, process and manufacturing environment.
  • Consultation with eldec Induction Heating Experts – our experienced technicians can help you customize a power supply and induction coil.
  • Induction heating generator repair and maintenance – repair and preventative maintenance services areavailable for all eldec models at your plant or ours.
  • Equipment rental – for commonly ordered eldec generator models. Rent-to-own options are also offered.

eldec power supply equipment features

eldec induction power supplies are efficient and powerful.eldec manufactures several categories of induction heating generators for a wide variety of processes and applications. They are easy to setup and use because they all come with:

  • a simple and intuitive touch screen for all generator commands, including heating modes (continuous, tap and timer) and heating times/powers.
  • an auto-adjustment of frequency based on induction coil and work part self-tuning. eldec’s power supplies (generators) feature fixed power programming and automatic variable frequency (not fixed frequency), which means that they can operate at different frequencies within a specific range, with equal power and precision, without resetting switches or capacitor banks.
  • handheld coax output transformers for flexible setup.
  • the ability to remove and replace inductor coils very quickly — often in less than two minutes — allowing switching between processes and applications.

They are also easily integrated into larger system cells via optional interface modules, such as Profibus, Profinet or Ethernet IP.

Manufacturing of induction heating generators for a wide variety of processes and applications

We understand your situation is unique and that an off-the-shelf unit won’t do. Whether your parts are large or small, simple or complex, eldec can manufacture a power supply specifically for your workpiece, process, metal type and working environment. We custom manufacture:

Every consultation for equipment starts with a part and thorough process review.  Our technicians know what works best for the situation and will show you how to save time as well as money.

Types of induction power supplies

eldec DFG induction power supplies

Dual Frequency Power Supply

eldec SDF induction power supplies

Simultaneous Dual Frequency Induction Power Supply

eldec manufactures several categories of induction heating generators for a wide variety of processes and applications, including induction brazing, shrink fitting, annealing, pre-heating for welding, adhesive curing and more. While it is best to consult with one of our induction heating experts in order to customize a system for your specific process and part, here is a list of our main categories and the potential uses for each type to use as a guide.

  • Medium Frequency (MF or MFG)
    • Frequency range = 8 – 40 kHz
    • Typically used for applications with thicker materials or those that require deeper heat penetration.
  • High Frequency (HF or HFG)
    • Frequency range = 80 – 400 kHz
    • Typically used for applications where the materials are very thin or for a thicker material where only the surface is heated.
  • Low Frequency (LF or LFG)
    • Frequency range = 2 – 8 kHz
    • Used for specialized applications. Our applications personnel will be able to tell you if your application requires this type of generator.
  • Dual Frequency (DF or DFG)
    • A generator with two different (switchable) frequency ranges.
    • Ideal for customers who only want one generator but have multiple applications that require different frequency ranges (for example, one MF and one HF application).
  • Simultaneous Dual Frequency (SDF)
    • A generator with the capability of using two different frequencies at the same time.
    • Ideal for gear hardening.

Whether you are replacing a generator; seeking to improve your manufacturing process speed, accuracy and efficiency; or integrating induction heating into your complex process, eldec’s experts can help. Give us a call or send a request and we’ll call you.

Manufacturing lines and models of induction power supplies at eldec LLC

eldec manufactures five distinct lines of induction power supplies. Each line of generators is available in multiple categories of configuration and has a unique list of advantages. 

  • PICO (available as either Medium Frequency or High Frequency models)
    Standard, portable and compact, these budget-friendly power supplies are easy to setup and use.  Unpack it, plug it in and start heating. They are restricted to a single output and are limited in special configuration options, but they can also be a more budget friendly option. Available with output powers between 5kW and 150kW.
  • ECO (available as either Medium Frequency or High Frequency models)
    Although considered a standard product, the ECO LINE of induction power supplies has various configuration options. Its compact design is designed to be either integrated into a complete system or used as a stand-alone energy source. Single or multiple output configurations are available from 5kW up to either 75kW (HF version) or 150kW (MF version).
  • MiniMICO eldec developed a new mobile induction power supply that can be configured for die hardening, brazing or shrink fitting.  The MiniMICO has an integrated chiller, a mobile base, pyrometer integration capabilities and optional accessories such as a boom arm for supporting the coax transformer weight.
  • CUSTOM (available as any of the generator types listed above)
    CUSTOM LINE generators are non-standard generators that are specifically tailored for a specific process. This line of generators is often selected when a customer’s requirements fall outside of the range of configurations available on the ECO Line products.
