How to Extend Induction Heating Coil Life to 200+ Uses

Friday May 18, 2018

Whether you are involved in automotive, trucking, farming, or other vehicle and equipment repair, here are some tips for how to maximize coil life for your Mini-Ductor^® model and the U-555 Mini-Ductor attachment for the Pro-Max and Max models of the Inductor Series^®:

To avoid overheating and damaging your coils, use the device for two minutes on, two minutes off – on Mini-Ductor models, the inverter will automatically shut off if it overheats
Keep space between your coil and the bolt, fastener, bearing, etc. and your coil – the part doesn’t need to get red hot; just heat for 5-10 seconds and, if it’s difficult to get off, heat for another 5 seconds
When using the 41″ or 96″ Bearing Buddy: use a plumber’s mat to avoid abrasion and overheating

Mini-Ductor Coil Replacement

When to replace your coils:

They start to turn brown
The fabric over the coils begins to tear

If you own an Inductor Series Glass Blaster or Concentrator attachment, remember to replace your thermal tape once it starts turning brown.
