Equipment
Foxheat offers a broad range of heat treatment equipment to meet all our clients’ onsite heat
treatment needs. These include:
50kVA -100kVA Mobile Power Source Transformers (47volt ELV & 60volt )
These units can be used to perform preheat and PWHT on piping and structures. Each unit has the
capacity to run 18 x 2.4 kW standard ceramic resistant elements. All units have the capability to
operate either manually and/or automatically to suit all heat treatment requirements. All units are
linked to a digital temperature recorder. After completion of the heating process the client is pre-
sented with an original copy of graph for their records.
Proheat 35 Induction Units
Induction heating systems employ non-contact heating. The system induces heat electromagneti-
cally rather than using ceramic elements that are in contact with the item. Induction heating acts
more like a microwave oven, the appliance remains cool while the item heats from within. The
magnetic field creates eddy currents inside the part exciting the molecules and generating heat.
Because Heating occurs slightly below the metal surface no heat is wasted, these machines are up
to 90% efficient and 20 times faster than conventional methods.
One of the many aspects of Induction heating that makes it attractive is the ability to adjust the
coils during the heating process to accommodate unique parts and heat sinks. Pre-heating and
stress relieving with an Induction heating method is extremely worker friendly due to induction
coils remaining cool, thus eliminating burns and hot connectors which can be an issue when using
resistant elements.
Foxheat has successfully used this equipment for:
• Pre Heating
• PWHT piping 25mm-3000mm
• Shrink Fit
• Heating frozen line
Foxheat has successfully used this
equipment for:

High Velocity Burners
These burners have many applications, from Refractory dry outs to the PWHT of small to large
sized pressure vessels and furnaces. The burners can be fired externally into insulated vessels
which turns the vessel into its own furnace or can be fired into furnaces. Each burner is controlled
manually and has exceptional turn down characteristics which provide high volume low tempera-
ture conditions which are essential for startup.
With a rating of 8 gigajoules and a maximum air flow of 1500m3 the burners can generate a great
deal of air velocity for achieving the right air/heat convection.
All burners can run on natural gas (supplied by customer) or propane, either fuel burns extremely
clean and oil free.
Foxheat has gained Authorization from the Queensland Government Department of Natural re-
sources and mines to Install Commission Repair and operate these type B Burners. All personnel at
Foxheat who operate these burners are Type B qualified Gas Fitters and deemed Competent under
the Petroleum and Gas Act. This is a legal requirement by law to protect the operator and client.

Mains Heat Treatment Unit
These units are a higher voltage than standard Heat Treatment Units and are used when standard
low voltage ceramic elements can’t produce enough power. Each element is rated at 12.5 kW. Be-
cause of their higher voltage, mains elements are mostly used for PWHT on large pipes, vessels and
furnaces. The elements come in 2 types which are 4 bank tray elements and flexible ceramic ele-
ments. Tray elements with the use of bulkheads are perfect for heat treating closing seams on ves-
sels
Foxheat has successfully used this equip-
ment for:
• PWHT 19m x 16m holding tanks
• PWHT Vessels up to 80 ton
• Refractory dry outs
• Various sized temporary furnac-
es
• Paint curing

Furnaces
Foxheat can offer our clients a broad range of furnaces whether it is for a small 5 kg test coupon or
a 20t excavator arm, we can build furnaces on site to suit your needs. Furnaces are the best option
for PWHT of complex shapes as the whole component is heated uniformly eliminating any intro-
duced stresses which may occur using localized methods.
With large volumes of piping spools and/or components, using a furnace can also save time and
money. We can set up a furnace at your workshop or site and heat treat greater amounts of welds
in a shorter time period, requiring less labor and equipment.
Furnaces can be electric or gas depending on size and availability of power.
Foxheat has successfully used this equipment for:
• PWHT Test coupons(electric)
• PWHT components 2t to 10t (electric)
• Solution anneal tubes
• PWHT mining equipment 2t to 12t (gas)
