What Sets Himmelwerk Technology Apart

  • Megahertz-Frequency Heating
    Enables precise, surface-level heat application with faster response times and improved efficiency.

  • Energy Efficiency
    Non-contact heating reduces heat loss, shortens cycle times, and lowers operating costs.

  • Process Repeatability
    Consistent output for identical results — from prototype to full production scale.

  • Clean & Sustainable
    Induction heating produces no open flames, no emissions, and no direct part contact.

  • Real-Time Control
    Smart interfaces, sensors, and automation options support detailed process feedback, traceability, and control.

Frequently Asked Questions

What materials can be heated with induction?
  • Induction heating works on conductive metals including steel, copper, aluminum, brass, titanium and many more. It also works on carbon and most carbon composites as well as with doped ceramics, semiconductors and even some liquids are suitable conductors for induction heating (e.g. molten salt, molten carbonates like glass and some ionic liquids). The specific frequency and coil design are matched to the part geometry and material type to achieve optimal heating performance.
Why choose induction heating over traditional methods?
  • Induction offers faster, cleaner, and more energy-efficient heating with no open flames or particle emissions. It provides precise heat control, minimal heat loss, and a safer working environment.
What is Megahertz (MHz) heating and why does it matter?
  • MHz heating refers to high-frequency induction, which allows for shallow, surface-level heating. This improves control, reduces heat stress on parts, and enables faster thermal response — ideal for precision applications in fine and super fine parts like e.g. battery foils, medical stent implants etc.
Is induction heating energy efficient?
  • Yes. Because induction directly heats the part without external elements or open flames, it significantly reduces energy waste. The result is shorter cycle times and lower operating costs.

Seit 1950 wurden von Himmelwerk 19.000 Hochfrequenz- und Mittelfrequenzgeneratoren in alle Welt verschickt.
Wie viel CO₂ sparen sie eigentlich pro Jahr ein? Eine Rechnung.

Annahme 1: 25 % der Generatoren sind noch in Betrieb.

Annahme 2: Sie haben im Durchschnitt eine Leistung von 6 kW und damit eine Leistungsaufnahme von 7 kW.

Annahme 3: Die Generatoren sind 8 Stunden/Tag und 5 Tage/Woche in Betrieb.

Annahme 4: Induktive Erwärmung spart bis zu 40 % Energie ein im Vergleich zu konventionellen Methoden. Gehen wir mal von 30 % aus.

Bei diesen Annahmen sieht die Rechnung so aus:

Täglicher Energieverbrauch: 8 h x 7 kW = 56 kW

Energieersparnis am Tag: 56 kWh / 0,7 = 80 kWh; 80 – 56 = 24 kWh

Gesamtersparnis am Tag: 24 kWh x 4.750 Generatoren = 114.000 kWh

Gesamtersparnis pro Jahr: 220 Arbeitstage x 114.000 kWh = 25.080.000 kWh

Umrechnungsfaktor kWh/CO₂: 1 kWh ≈ CO₂-Äquivalenzwert von 0,485 kg Strom (Quelle: Umweltbundesamt, Climate Change 15/2022)

CO₂-Einsparung pro Jahr: 25.080.000 kWh x 0,485 kg = 12.163.800 kg
