with worldwide operations in nine countries. Along with serving industries such as steel, automotive, forging and foundry, Ajax Tocco has a global commitment to the tube and pipe industry. The company manufactures induction- heating systems that process up to 120t of high quality pipe and casing per hour with consistent quality and ovality. According to the company, this induction heating equipment provides a reliable and flexible supply of heat, with outstanding control. The Ajax Tocco converters facilitate this flexibility with a patented, wide operating window. This allows a larger range of sizes to be processed in one induction coil size without the need for capacitor or voltage switching. Converting the barrel furnaces to induction heating for stretch reducing, enables the use of existing handling equipment and the advantage of fast, controllable, energy saving induction heating. The results can lead to dramatic savings in space, reduced energy consumption, improved quality and the benefit of recipe control. Ajax Tocco is at the forefront of API pipe production for the oil and gas industry. Because casing drill pipe and line drill pipe reliability is crucial, the company believes it is a highly dependable source of supply systems to harden and temper pipe, casing and couplings to full API specifications.
