Induction Systems
Induction heating systems and coils for glass and trim removal, seized fasteners, bearings and dent work — flameless, targeted heat without an open torch.

An induction heater puts heat into ferrous metal directly through an electromagnetic field. There is no flame, so heat is localised to the component instead of spreading across the panel — the difference between freeing a seized bolt and scorching the surrounding paint and trim.
Typical body-shop uses are releasing bonded glass and moulding adhesive, loosening rusted or seized fasteners, shrinking stretched metal, and fitting or removing bearings. A bearing heater brings the race up to fitting temperature evenly without hammering it on.
Because there is no gas bottle or naked flame, induction reduces fire risk near fuel lines, trim, glass and interiors, which is why many workshops move to it from oxy-acetylene for this class of work.
Flameless heat
No open flame near fuel lines, trim, glass or interiors.
Seized fasteners
Heat rusted bolts and nuts in seconds without torching the panel.
Glass & adhesive
Release bonded glass, mouldings and badges cleanly.
Bearing heating
Even, controlled heat for fitting and removing bearings.
Coils & attachments
A range of coils and pads for different jobs and access.
Nationwide delivery

Induction Systems — frequently asked questions
- How much does an induction heater cost in South Africa?
- Price depends on output power, duty cycle and the coil set included. Each system is quoted on request — tell us the jobs you need it for.
- What metals can an induction heater work on?
- Induction heats ferrous (magnetic) metals most effectively. Non-ferrous materials such as aluminium respond differently and generally need purpose-designed coils or an alternative method.
- Is induction heating safer than a gas torch?
- It removes the open flame and gas bottles from the job, which lowers fire risk near fuel lines, trim and glass. The component itself still gets extremely hot, so normal heat-handling precautions apply.
