(June 20, 2002) EDGEWOOD, NY — Lepel Corporation, a worldwide leader in induction heating
technology, provides highly efficient, non-contact solutions for continuous heating. The company's
compact induction heating systems deliver exceptionally rapid heating and highly accurate temperature
control in compact coil designs, compared with much larger furnaces or infrared tunnels.
For wire and cable applications, Lepel induction heating
systems can provide quick and economical normalizing,
stress relieving, annealing, hardening, curing and
coating. Because of the use of
induction heating, these processes can be completed
while the wire or cable is moving through the coil.
Other applications for induction heating include the
continuous processing of tubes, rods,
strips, blades, and pipes for stress relieving, annealing
and hardening.
In fiber optics, induction heating excels over other
methods, including conventional radiant furnaces.
Induction heating of fiber results in greater fiber
strength and better optical properties. Induction
heating provides the high temperatures necessary to
melt silica glass, 2200°C (4000°F), using
zirconia susceptors.
