The Sealey 12kW Dual AC/Coolant Cooled Induction Heater (VS290) is a high-performance tool engineered for professional mechanics, agricultural technicians, and industrial engineers who require rapid, flameless heating for heavy-duty applications. Its primary benefit is the ability to safely and quickly remove seized hardware or heat steel components without the risks associated with open flames. However, users should note that due to its 130kg weight and 3-phase power requirement, it is best suited for permanent installation in professional workshop environments rather than mobile field service.

The induction heater is primarily designed for magnetic materials like steel and iron. Induction requires a ferrous material to generate heat efficiently.
Refer to your user manual, but generally, the coolant should be checked during your quarterly maintenance routine and replaced if it shows signs of discoloration or sediment.
No, this unit requires a dedicated 3-phase power supply to achieve its 12kW performance safely.
Induction heating is flameless, which significantly reduces fire risks and prevents collateral heat damage to sensitive nearby components like rubber seals or paint.
The unit comes factory-calibrated. If you notice heating inconsistencies, check the inductor coil fitment or contact a professional service technician.
Check the 3-phase power connection and ensure the emergency stop is released.
Check the 42L tank fluid level and ensure the ventilation ports are not blocked by workshop debris.
Check for flow obstructions in the coolant lines or verify the coolant pump is operational.
Setup: Given the 130kg weight, the unit should be positioned on a level, stable floor within the reach of a 3-phase power outlet. Ensure the 42L coolant tank is filled with the recommended fluid prior to the first operation. Verify that the work area is clear of flammable materials, as induction heating can still reach high temperatures that may char nearby surfaces.
Compatibility: This unit is compatible with various metal types, primarily ferrous metals. It is specifically built for use in garages, engineering shops, and vehicle maintenance facilities.
Care: Regularly inspect the 5m inductor cable for signs of wear or insulation damage. Check the coolant level in the 42L reservoir frequently and replace the fluid according to the maintenance schedule to prevent sediment buildup in the cooling lines. Keep the control interface clean and dust-free to ensure the memory function remains responsive.
