The plant was built in 1992 by INDUCAL Göllingen, a large manufacturer of induction systems, which had produced several thousand systems until its closure in the year 1999.

The system offered here has demonstrably seen little use over its entire period. We purchased it in 2005 from an insolvent company and it was subsequently leased twice (January 2006 - June 2008 and January 2010 - April 2010).
Our planning was to install the system, along with a diesel generator, as a truck-transportable unit to increase production flexibility in smaller foundries. However, this plan was abandoned due to lack of time, and we are now selling this system at a low price to get free space for new projects.
We can handle service and spare parts supply. The documentation is comprehensive, even including schematics for the inverter electronics. The system is offered "as is" or optionally with new converter electronics (retrofit) and spare electronic circuit boards. It was dismantled “warm” at the previous tenant's premises.
Upon request, we can handle the installation planning for the buyer.                             back
