Shrink-fitting tasks such as the fitting and removal of wheels and tyres or the fitting and disassembling of bearings and lock rings can be performed quickly and easily using EFD Induction heating equipment.
Compared to traditional methods of heating, induction technology is a much faster and more efficient heating process, making it the preferred choice for lead players in the ­railway industry.
Moreover, the precision of induction heating allows a gentle handling of ­components and there is no damage to the heat-treated parts which can be re-used, and that means less scrap and more savings.
EFD Induction is active in induction heating and has expertise from almost 70 years of servicing our customers worldwide. Their efficient heating equipment will ensure improved quality of work as well as more up-time and increased output.
The practical multipurpose Minac induction heater is ideal for the various applications used in the railway industry. Because of its flexibility, mobility and ease-of-use, it is particularly useful to railway maintenance divisions.
Induction heating offers precise temperature control. With the Minac, an operator can pre-set the desired ramp-up times, power delivery and dwell times, ensuring a correct heat ­pattern and required temperature – and the heating cycle can be accurately repeated over and over again. The heating is so precise it actually leaves adjacent materials unaffected, which not only means better energy efficiency, but also safer and better working conditions.
