1. How long will my induction heating line be?
2. Can I heat different size billets with my induction heater?
3. Is induction heating effective on nonferrous material?
4. Can a feeder system orient my parts?

1. How long will my induction heating line be?
   The length of an induction heating system depends on the amount of material you would like to process per hour. Typically the coil length of an induction heating line is approximately 2 feet for every 1000 pounds of material heated per hour.
2. Can I heat different size billets with my induction heater?
   Induction heating coils are designed to be used with certain size billets. However making CEFI application experts aware of the range of billets you intend to run allows the coils to be designed to accommodate your range of billets.
3. Is induction heating effective on nonferrous material?
   Induction heating can be used on either ferrous or nonferrous materials.
4. Can a feeder system orient my parts?
   CEFI manufactures feeder systems that allow parts to be oriented before entering the induction heater. In order to achieve the desired orientation the length of the part must be at least 1.3 times the diameter.
