ABOUT INDUCTION HEATING
Induction Cooking offers unprecedented performance, previously not available from either electric or gas cooking equipment, with quick heating, precision engineered controls.

1. What Is Induction Heating?
Induction heating is a method of providing fast, consistent heat for electrically conductive materials. The process relies on electrical currents within the material to produce heat. Although the basic principles of induction are well known, modern advances in technology have made induction heating a remarkably simple, cost-effective heating method. Magnetic Induction Cooking is a user-friendly, emvironmentally friendly method of cooking.

The basic components of an induction heating system are an AC power supply, induction coil, and workpiece (material to be heated). The power supply sends alternating current through the coil, generating a magnetic field. When the workpiece is placed in the coil and enters the magnetic field, eddy currents are induced within the workpiece, generating precise amounts of clean, localized heat without any physical contact between the coil and the workpiece.


When an oscillating magnetic field is produced by the alternative current of working coil, eddy current will flow through the pot. This eddy current rapidly heats the pot or kettle or cooktop only (with far less waste heat).

2. What Are the Advantages of Induction Heating?

Faster Cycle Time
Heat is developed directly and instantly within 1 second inside the pot or kettle or cooktop, allowing a much quicker startup than other heating equipment. Heating process times can be dramatically reduced & production output can be significantly increased.

    High Thermal Efficiency and Increased Profitability

  • This energy-efficient process converts up to 90% of the energy expended into useful heat to reduce utility costs. (Up to 60% of the heat is normally wasted through indirect gas combustion.) Stand-by losses are reduced to a minimum.
  • The costs of exhaust duct installation and air-conditioning running costs are saved.
Environmentally Sound
Induction heating is a clean, non-polluting process. It produces much less smoke or waste heat to alter the surrounding environment.
User-Friendly
Working conditions are improved with the absence of smoke and heat produced by heating equipment. You can touch the outer casing without getting burned.

Pinpoint Accuracy
Power input is precisely controlled to achieve the exact temperature required for heating. Heat is developed directly inside the pot or kettle or cooktop.
Maximum Repeatability
With modern induction heating equipment, the heating pattern is always the same for a given set-up, cycle after cycle and day after day. New employees can cook on the first day on the job.
