Despite the current challenging economic climate, sales figures for local induction melting systems supplier Cerefco’s range of Inductotherm products have remained positive for more than 30 years Cerefco MD Scott Melville, tells Engineering News.

He attributes this achievement to the quality and durability of the range, adding that Cerefco is the sole representative for US-based induction technology provider Inductotherm Corporation in Southern Africa and assists local customers with any queries regarding Inductotherm’s heating and melting products.

“We maintain a large inventory of Inducto-therm spares and we service and supply parts to our existing local user base of more than 150 Inductotherm furnaces. Our highly trained field service technicians provide a 24/7,
365-days-a-year service,” states Melville, adding that the first Inductotherm unit was sold in South Africa in 1960.

He adds that Cerefco’s clients in Southern Africa use Inductotherm equipment ranging from 20 kW to 12 000 kW.
“The principal products in the range include induction heating and melting furnaces and induction power supplies, charging and preheating systems, automatic pouring systems and computer control systems.”
Melville points out that the Inductotherm Corporation has more than 32 000 melting and pouring systems in more than 121 countries.

“This number continues to increase to satisfy our customers’ growing markets and we continue to grow with them. Inductotherm Corporation continues to develop new and better applications from A to Z – aluminium to zinc – to support the metals and materials industries worldwide.

“With Inductotherm Corporation supplying more than 50% of the world market for induction melting equipment, I am certain that we can meet all our customers’ heating and production requirements,” he concludes.
