Product catalog summary
Overview of BETEX MF Quick-Heaters
The BETEX MF Quick-Heaters utilize medium-frequency technology for the mounting, dismounting, and preheating of metal components. This technology allows for fast and controlled heating, making it efficient and effective for various applications. The heaters consist of a generator and one or more inductors, suitable for materials like steel, cast iron, stainless steel, and titanium.
Key Features and Advantages
  • Suitable for a wide range of materials and shapes due to flexible inductors.
  • Temperature and time-controlled heating with double temperature measurement (ΔT monitoring).
  • Low power consumption and no residual magnetism or fire hazards.
  • Air-cooled, eliminating the need for water cooling.
  • Compact and portable design with user-friendly touchscreen operation.
Applications
BETEX MF Quick-Heaters are used for heating components such as bearings, labyrinth seals, gear wheels, rollers, tubes, bushings, couplings, train wheels, extruders, and stator housings.
Technical Specifications
The heaters are available in two models: 2.5 and 3.0, with power options of 22 kW and 44 kW. They operate at frequencies between 10 and 25 kHz and support various voltage and amperage configurations. Both models feature forced air cooling, temperature measurement with type K thermocouples, and optional trolleys for mobility.
Operation and Control
The heaters offer adjustable power regulation and can display heating processes in clear graphs. They include features like SMART inductor recognition, USB connectivity, and network connection for data logging and export.
Testing and Customization
For special applications, tests can be conducted with client-provided components, and customized solutions are available. A large database of standard applications and simulation programs supports optimal solution delivery.
Conclusion
BETEX MF Quick-Heaters provide efficient, safe, and versatile heating solutions for industrial applications, ensuring damage-free operations and the potential for significant cost savings through reusable components.

INDUCTION HEATERS BETEX MF Quick-Heaters – medium-frequency technology Mounting, dismounting and preheating of metal components Fast and/or controlled heating with ΔT Thanks to medium-frequency technology, energy is transferred to the workpiece effectively, so it is heated easily and quickly. The BETEX MF Quick-Heater consists of a generator with a fixed or flexible inductor. Its compact dimensions make it easy to move. BETEX MF Quick-Heaters result in time savings as they can be deployed very rapidly (fewer actions) and heat faster than conventional methods. Energy use is much more efficient thanks to its lower power consumption. One of the major advantages of this type of induction heater is that they are not limited to components with a cylindrical shape: flexible inductors can be wound around any size or shape.

The generator is designed for the connection of inductors used for heating ferromagnetic workpieces. Suitable materials include iron, steel, stainless steel, titanium and certain bronze alloys. The maximum capacity workpieces can be subjected to is 22 kW or 44 kW, depending on the type of heater. Operating principle The three-phase voltage is rectified and smoothed. This rectified voltage is then converted by means of an inverter into an AC voltage with a frequency between 10 and 25 kHz. The power is then applied to the workpiece magnetically via a ‘resonance capacitor’ using an inductor (coil). To be used for • Bearings • Labyrinth seals • Bearing rings • Bearing housings • Gear wheels • Rollers • Tubes • Bushings • Couplings • Train wheels/train wheel tyres • Extruders • Stator housings Since the frequency is relatively high, the penetration depth of the magnetic field is not too large, so that only the outer layer of the workpiece is heated. This principle makes heating using medium-frequency particularly suitable for dismantling purposes, such as removi
