In certain embodiments described herein, a heated line forming system includes a heating coil system configured to produce a heated line on a surface of a metal part. The heated line forming system also includes an air knife cooling system configured to maintain a dry area for the heated line, and to direct a coolant (e.g., cooling water, liquified gases such as liquid argon, solidified gases such as carbon dioxide snow, and so forth) around the heated line via a spray mechanism such that the coolant does not flow or splash into the heated line on the metal part. In certain embodiments, the heated line forming system includes multiple induction coils arranged along a line and spaced a short distance apart, but which, when operated simultaneously together, form a heated line on a surface of a metal part.

A first coil 110 and a second coil 120 are faced each other across a conductor plate S so that the first coil (110) and the second coil (120) become substantially the same in position in a Y-axis direction. The conductor plate S is inductively heated by applying alternating currents at a frequency at which a depth of penetration of the current becomes equal to or less than half a plate thickness of the conductor plate S to the first coil (110) and the second coil (120) in opposite directions.

Apparatuses and methods are disclosed for heating objects. The apparatus may include two conveyer belts. Each conveyer belt may include a plurality of teeth. At least a portion of the two conveyer belts may be in parallel to each other. In the parallel portion, the conveyer belts may include opposite teeth that are symmetrical to each other and the object may be fitted in the opening of the symmetrical teeth and secured by the surrounding teeth.

A can curing oven for curing one or more coatings on one or more surfaces of a sidewall of a number of can bodies includes a heating assembly having a number of induction heating units that define a space generally enclosed by the number of induction heating units. Each induction heating unit capable of producing a total effective amount of received heat needed to cure the coating on each can body. The curing oven further includes a conveyance arrangement for supporting and moving a number of can bodies along a workpath through the generally enclosed space among the number of induction heating units.

The transverse flux induction heating device allows an alternating magnetic field to intersect the sheet face of a conductive sheet which is conveyed in one direction, thereby inductively heating the conductive sheet. The transverse flux induction heating device includes a heating coil disposed such that a coil face faces the sheet face of the conductive sheet; a core around which the heating coil is coiled; and a shielding plate formed of a conductor and disposed between the core and a side end portion in a direction perpendicular to the conveyance direction of the conductive sheet, wherein the shielding plate has a protruded portion, and the side surface of the protruded portion represents a closed loop when viewed from a direction perpendicular to the coil face.

According to an aspect of the present disclosure, an adjustable induction foil sealing device is used to hermetically seal a container. The device can be adjusted to accommodate differently sized containers. The device includes a power supply cabinet, first and second rail assemblies and an adjustment assembly coupling the rail assemblies together and coupling the rail assemblies to the cabinet. Each rail assembly has an induction sealing coil and conductive contacts. The contacts on the rail assemblies are in electrical contact with the contacts on the cabinet. The adjustment assembly is configured to adjust the relative positions of the rail assemblies relative to each other and relative to the cabinet, while maintaining the electrical connection of the contacts.

A heating device (1) of a container processing device includes a main turret (2) which supplies a container (10) to high-frequency induction heating element (3) for providing a heat treatment to the container (10) so that the container (10) is sucked by bottom suction device (21), a container supply turret (5) which supplies the container (10) to the main turret (2); and an auxiliary turret (4) provided in a receiving area of the main turret (2). The auxiliary turret (4) is configured to center the container (10) towards the bottom suction device (21) in the receiving area.

A turbine induction temper system. In one embodiment, an induction temper system for a turbine includes: an induction member; a control system operably connected to the induction coil; and a temperature sensor operably connected with the control system, wherein the control system is configured to control an electrical current supplied induction member in response to a temperature indicator about a component of the turbine obtained from the temperature sensor.
