Ajax TOCCO Supplies Air-Cooled Induction Weld Preheat System
Ajax TOCCO Magnethermic recently delivered 5 / 10 kW TOCCOtron AC induction heating systems to an
international on-site heat treating firm. These systems are designed for portable / on-site preheat prior to
welding applications.
The customer chose these systems over larger
35 kW induction heating systems due to significantly
less equipment costs. At 5 kW continuous output, the
customer stated the 5 / 10kW TOCCOtron AC
systems satisfied the majority of their small to
medium preheat prior to welding applications and
was capable of heating 50 kg of steel to 200°C in
30 minutes.
The customer also cited a simple, robust design in<
addition to the light weight (hand carried), 100% aircooled
design including quick setup and broad
application capabilities as other factors in their
decision.
