Ajax TOCCO supplies induction heater to L.B. Foster

Ajax TOCCO Magnethermic®, Warren, Ohio, recently shipped a 4,500-kW, 12-pulse, Pacer II induction heating system to the L.B. Foster Coated Products pipe coating facility in Birmingham, Ala.

The high-speed coating system applies fusion bonded epoxy (FBE) to 12.75- to 24-in. pipe in lengths up to 80 ft. The induction heating system provides inline heating of the coating. The line’s inductors can be changed quickly for differing pipe sizes to help minimize production downtime.
