Induction coils are expensive, so if you are able to have your coils repaired, you can save some money. But how do you decide which route to go? eldec’s repair technicians say it really depends on the evaluation of the individual coil in the repair shop. Sometimes the cost of repair is so high that it makes more sense financially to replace the coil.
The photo on the right is an example of a coil that should be replaced. It is leaking in two or three places on the circular head. The cost of time and materials to fix this coil makes it a candidate for a complete replacement.
Other coils – those that need a little straightening or have a small leak in a braze joint – can be repaired fairly inexpensively. When in doubt, coils can be sent in for evaluation by eldec’s skilled team. From there, coils can either be repaired, returned or scrapped out based on customer preference.
Even if your coils were made by someone else it’s not a problem. We can repair coils manufactured by our competitors or manufacture new coils based on the old design. Typically, we do prototype runs to demonstrate our expertise and meet our customers’ expectations. We know that short lead times and on time delivery are critical to your operation, and our current backlog is well positioned to allow a quick turnaround when you’re in a pinch. Give us a call or send us a note and we’ll contact you.
Need a completely new inductor designed? We do that well, too. Read more about our design and custom manufacturing capabilities. We also offer process development services for customer-specific applications such as: brazing, strand brazing, shrink fitting, annealing, die hardening and pre-heating for welding.
