Ajax Magnethermic Corp.


Ajax Magnethermic Corp. is the world's leading and oldest manufacturer of induction heating induction heating

Method of raising the temperature of an electrically conductive material by subjecting it to an alternating electromagnetic field. Energy in the electric currents induced in the object is dissipated as heat.
 and melting equipment with worldwide operations in nine countries, and domestic facilities for manufacturing sales and services in 10 cities.

Founded in 1916, Ajax Magnethermic pioneered most of the technology for induction melting systems now in use throughout most of the world. Its list of firsts is long and impressive, and includes the largest induction melting furnace ever built and the largest induction heating installation in the world (210 MW).

Relying heavily on research and development, Ajax Magnethermic has introduced equipment to the industry by which all others are measured. From simple melt and pour Melt and Pour Soap Crafting is a process often used by soapmakers. The process differs from the cold process or hot process in that no soap is made (i.e. no actual saponification occurs) in the process; a melt and pour soap base acquired in commerce is melted in a microwave oven or  systems to sophisticated computer-controlled melt shops, Ajax's line of equipment covers induction melting equipment of all sizes and frequencies with capabilities up 1500 tons.

Recent Innovations

Ajax Magnethermic is one of the few induction equipment manufacturers that maintains full-time research and development. This has led to continuous improvements in power supply design, such as the company's new fiber optic equipped Paced solid-state power supply, and the CFC CFC

 solid-state power control for channel furnaces for both single and three-phase systems.

The equipment allows the user to control power over a wide range of power settings while at the same time eliminating the need for tap changing and the use of reactors and tapped transformers.

The Ajax jet-flow inductor inductor, electric device consisting of one or more turns of wire and typically having two terminals. An inductor is usually connected into a circuit in order to raise the inductance to a desired value.  for channel furnaces is the world's most widely accepted and highly regarded truly high-powered inductor that delivers as promised.

Wherever there is industry, if induction is required, you will find Ajax. If a particular application or specification is needed, we will fulfill it. If the application is so specialized that it's not available, we'll invent it.
