Induction brazing.

Why its ideal or aucets.Improved throughput. Consistent quality. Easy operation. High reproducibility. A more productive

working environment. These are just some of the advantages when brazing faucets with induction.

Brazing aucets is a tough challenge. Consumers in-

sist on products that not only work well, they must

also look great. But how can you achieve this, and

still keep costs competitive? One proven solution is

induction heating. Fast, precise, controllable and

easy to use, induction is perect or aucet brazing

whether its tube-to-socket, tube-to-tube or thread

insert brazing.

Induction is a no-contact, ame-ree technology that

generates evenly distributed and ully controllable

heat in pre-defned heating zones. These eatures

o induction make it easier and quicker to achieve

strong, ull-penetration joints than with alternative

methods such as ame heating.

Induction brazing is easy to operate and control. In-

ductors can be customized to match specifc aucet

designs. Process parameters such as temperatures

and ramp-up and dwell times can be set in advance.

All the operator need do is push a button. And as a

repeatable process, induction is well suited or robot

handling and in-line integration.

The rapid, localized heat generated by induction

minimizes the risk o overheating. This in turn mini-

mizes the risk o porosity and weak joints. Also, in-

duction is clean and quite. There is virtually no in-

crease in the ambient temperature. And umes are

easily extracted. The end result is a saer, healthier

and more productive working environment.

Induction brazing gives the operator a clear, unobstructed

view o the entire brazing operation. Localized heat is

generated directly in the aucet, with negligible increases

in ambient temperature.

The minimal process variations o induction heating

contribute to uniorm product chemistry and mechanical

properties. This makes the method perect or high-

throughput and automated brazing.

You cant see the joints.But the benefts are perectly

obvious.EFD Induction brazing systems help ensure virtually

invisible joints in the fnished aucets. The fller mate-

rial that binds the base metals is drawn through the

joint by capillary action, creating a neat, barely visible

bead. At the same time, the capillary action ensures

a robust, leak-proo and corrosion-resistant joint. And

it doesnt matter whether the inside or outside osockets are brazedthe end result is a smooth, shiny

and attractive aucet.

Our exible systems are used by some o the worlds

leading aucet makers. You can, or example, pro-

gram a single system with many heating cycles to suit

dierent aucet designs. Coil changes are quick and

trouble-ree, too. And as the global induction com-

pany, we oer you the benefts o our R&D labs, test-

ing acilities, coil design services and maintenanceand spare parts supply programs.

Induction is a high throughput,

no-contact heating method. It

helps ensure strong yet barely

visible jointsand the outstanding

esthetics demanded by todays

customers.

Stationary and mobile aucet

brazing systemsEFD Induction has decades o experience in designing,

building, installing and maintaining brazing systems.

We devise stationary solutions or in-line integration;

as well as mobile, exible systems that can be used

or many other applications apart rom brazing. But

whichever type you choose, we ensure you beneft

rom a solution that takes your logistics, operator

skills, environmental concerns, materials handling

needs, energy consumption and ROI demands into

account.
