AMHERST, OH, April 27, 2010 – Nordson Corporation (NASDAQ-NDSN) has introduced the ISC2 Linear Induction Heating System, which reduces energy costs for curing three-piece side-seam coatings, powder or liquid coatings, and for other applications in the metal packaging industry that require fast, efficient heating.
Energy efficient induction heating provides significant reduction in energy costs when compared to conventional gas burners, forced air or convection heating. The Nordson ISC2 Linear Induction Heating System provides direct heating of the metal substrate without using heated air or open flame burner. Can manufacturers achieve over 80 percent heating efficiency compared to gas burners and forced air heaters, which waste more than half the energy they consume. As a result, the system:
- Significantly lowers operating costs and maintenance requirements.
- Does not create greenhouse gasses (such as NOx or COx emissions from the heating system, which are restricted and regulated in many countries).
- Provides fast heating of metal – over 100°C temperature rise within one second.
- Is safer than gas heating – induction does not use explosive fuel for heating.
The ISC2 Linear Induction system is air-cooled -- it does not require elaborate water-cooling as with other induction heating systems. It incorporates a rugged digital power supply with extensive power line protection and line filtering to protect the induction system and other electric power consuming devices in the plant. Easy to operate and install, the ISC2 system enables conversion from gas burner to induction in short time and is configurable to line speed by adding heating modules for line speed increases.
