A total of 16 systems were installed at Tosçelik’s production plant in Iskernderun with 14 induction welding systems ranging from 250kW up to 800kW and 2 Seam Annealing systems powered by rugged 1800kW and 2000kW Inductotherm VIP power supplies. Tosçelik’s new mills are configured to produce tube and pipe for both domestic and export markets.

Thermatool’s range of CFI and CFD induction welders were selected and installed at the Iskernderun plant with notable features including dual welding (Induction & Contact) functionality built in to certain systems.

Thermatool Sales Manager Mr Jon West comments “Thermatool specified two CFD dual induction / contact welders which provides two welding processes in one system, with quick change capability via a welding mode selector switch integrated into the mill operating console”

Mr Ahmet Taskin, Production Executive Officer of Tosçelik adds: “In order to ensure our production quality we always prefer to use hi-tech equipment in our plants. We have used various types of Thermatool heating and welding equipment in our existing tube mills for many years with successful results. We have also been very satisfied with the after-sales support from Thermatool. As a result of this, we chose the new series of Thermatool equipment in our tube mill investment which is the largest tube mill construction at one time ever seen in Europe.
