ince making the switch in 2024, MSI’s investment in Inductotherm®’s induction equipment has dramatically increased operational efficiency by as much as 70%, boosting production capacity while reducing energy consumption and environmental impact.
For decades, gas furnaces have been the industry standard, but they require extensive preheating and significant time to reach the necessary molten bath temperatures. These traditional furnaces are less energy-efficient, produce higher emissions, and offer limited temperature control—factors that can impact productivity and product quality.
Induction melting technology, by contrast, uses electromagnetic fields to heat and melt metals directly. This results in faster, cleaner, and more precise processing compared to traditional fuel-based methods. It also enhances workplace safety by eliminating open flames and reducing exposure to combustion by-products.
“We’re proud to see MSI realize such significant gains from our induction systems,” says Vincent Gallone, District Manager at Inductotherm Corp. “Our technology is designed to deliver cleaner, faster, and more precise melting, and MSI’s success is a clear example of how induction can transform metal processing operations.”
With this investment, MSI reinforces its commitment to advancing process capabilities and maintaining its high standards of quality, ensuring it continues to meet or exceed customer expectations across the manufacturing and commercial markets it serves.
