Product catalog summary
Overview
EKOHEAT induction heating systems are designed for efficient heating across various part geometries, sizes, and compositions. They offer multiple capacitor and transformer configurations, voltage or power control, and agile frequency tuning. The systems support remote operation and logging, and are compatible with international AC line voltages.

Applications
EKOHEAT systems are suitable for applications requiring deeper heat penetration, such as heat treating steel, preheating for forging, and melting in crucibles. They operate in the 5 to 15 kHz frequency range and are ideal for use with large coils or larger parts.

Features
- User-friendly front panel controls
- System configuration and diagnostics displayed on the front panel
- 10 ten-step heating profiles
- Overload-tolerant output management
- 7-language display suite
- Remote control via RS485 serial port and other inputs
- Movable workhead up to 30 meters from the power supply

Specifications
- Power output: 300 to 500 kW
- AC line power: 348 to 580 kVA
- Power factor: 0.92
- Output frequency: 5 – 15 kHz
- AC line voltage: 360 - 520 Vac, 3Ø
- Compliance: CE EN61010, EN55011
- Ingress protection: IP54, NEMA 12
- Water cooling required with specific flow and pressure requirements

Options and Accessories
- Start-up assistance
- Cooling systems
- Pendant station
- Auto-tap selection
- Redundant safety relays
- eVIEW serial data reporting
- Broadband frequency range (2-15 kHz)
- Footswitch
- Extended workhead cable lengths

Benefits
EKOHEAT systems improve return on investment by reducing energy usage compared to traditional heating methods. They feature efficient power conversion and a power factor greater than 0.9, which helps lower utility demand charges and monthly energy bills. The systems are designed for easy integration into automated production lines and can be expanded with additional power if needed.

EKOHEAT power to 500kW, operation from 5kHz to 15kHz-1

Power to 500 kW: Operation from 5 kHz to 15 kHz World-class Induction Heating Systems EKOHEAT induction heating systems for the 5 to 15 kHz frequency range provide reliable and repeatable solutions for heating with large coils or for heating larger parts. Typical applications include heating parts that require deeper heat penetration, heat treating steel, preheating for forging of steel, aluminum, copper or brass, and melting in crucibles With the versatile EKOHEAT power control system you get rapid tuning, efficient and precise heating of your parts, a 12 bit power control with a 0.024% resolution and an easy-to-use, easy-to-read front panel. Remote control is accomplished with 0-10V, 4-20mA inputs, RS485 serial port, 24V controls and remote E-Stop input so integration with your automated production lines is easy. EKOHEAT technology improves return on investment by reducing your energy usage compared to gas-fired and resistive heating techniques. With very efficient power conversion and a power factor greater than 0.9, utility demand charges are reduced, lowering monthly energy bills. EKOHEAT VPA systems are designed on a host/ client principle so you can add additional power should your process require it in the future. A separate cabinet houses the tappable resonating capacitor bank, available in several different sizes to meet customer-specific applications. This workhead may be placed up to 30 meters from the power supply. This is a water-cooled system, requiring connection to a heat exchanger or other means of dissipating heat.
