How to Transition to Induction Heating for Shrink Fitting

If you’re considering upgrading your shrink fitting process, induction heating offers significant advantages in speed, safety, and long-term cost savings. Whether you’re currently using an oven, a torch, or launching a brand-new product, here’s what you need to know to start the conversation.

What We’ll Ask You First:

• What parts are being shrink fit? (Materials, shapes, and dimensions)
• What’s your current process? (Oven, flame, or manual press?)
• What’s the target temperature?
• What’s your expected cycle time or daily production goal?
• Are there automation requirements or space limitations?

For example, if your current oven process heats 100 parts over six hours, we’ll design an induction system that hits similar throughput, but with faster cycles and a smaller equipment footprint.

System Customization & Support

Every induction shrink fitting system is tailored to your specific application. Once we understand your part specs and production goals, our engineers will design a solution that meets your performance and space requirements, whether that's a bench-top system for small runs or a fully automated setup for high-volume production.

CEIA USA offers:

• In-house testing and process validation
• Turnkey system delivery and installation
• Operator training and technical support
• Ongoing service and upgrades

Return on Investment

One of the most common questions we hear: “Why spend money on an induction system when I already have a torch or oven?”

The answer is in the ROI:

• Reduced energy consumption
• Improved safety
• Faster cycle times
• Lower maintenance
• Less space required on the shop floor

Most customers see ROI within 12 to 18 months, depending on usage and application. And because induction heating is highly automatable, it can reduce labor costs or shift existing workers to higher-value tasks.
