Induction pump

Process-safe induction pumps for selective mini wave soldering

The induction pump manufactured by EUTECT itself, which uses an electromagnetic drive to turn the solder into a mini wave, is installed transversely and is therefore particularly low-maintenance.

Benefit

The EUTECT induction pump works without moving parts in the solder and is particularly robust thanks to its design.

We install the induction pump we manufacture ourselves horizontally in our soldering modules. As a result, significantly less burn-off and dirt is deposited from the solder joints in the induction pump. Thanks to the electromagnetic drive, the solder is conveyed to the solder nozzle completely free of mechanical parts in the solder. This makes our induction pump particularly low-maintenance and easy to service. The EUTECT induction pump also works reliably in the high-temperature range up to 475°C.

Functionality

Induction pumps are based on the principle of electromagnetic induction and set conductive liquids, in our case liquid solder, in motion. Based on electromagnetic fields, they generate a flow without the need for moving mechanical parts.

Induction pumps are based on the laws of Faraday and Lorentz. Faraday's law of electromagnetic induction states that a change in magnetic flow through a conductor loop induces an electrical voltage. The Lorentz force occurs when a conductive material is in a magnetic field and electrical currents are generated. The interaction between the magnetic field and the induced currents creates a force that acts on the conductive material and sets it in motion.

Advantages

As described above, the EUTECT induction pump does not have any moving mechanical parts. This reduces wear and minimizes the risk of leaks. The induction pump requires little maintenance because mechanical parts do not come into direct contact with the liquid. The pump is therefore less sensitive to corrosion and mechanical wear. The contactless power transmission makes the induction pump particularly suitable for liquid metals that are exposed to high temperatures and have to withstand chemical reactivity.

Applications outside the electronics industry

Metallurgy and liquid metals

In the metal industry, induction pumps are used to transport liquid metals such as molten aluminum or steel. Since no mechanical parts come into direct contact with the medium, they are well suited for operation at extremely high temperatures.

Nuclear technology

In nuclear power plants, induction pumps can be used to transport liquid sodium or other liquid metals used as coolants. The high conductivity of these metals makes electromagnetic pumps effective.

Chemical industry

Induction pumps are also suitable for use with corrosive electrolyte solutions in which conventional pumps would wear out quickly due to the chemical reactivity of the medium.

Electroplating

Induction pumps can be used in electroplating processes in which conductive electrolyte solutions have to be circulated. Here, induction pumps can convey liquids efficiently and without mechanical wear.

Cooling and heat regulation

In high-performance cooling systems, induction pumps are suitable for circulating special, electrically conductive coolants. They enable contactless and vibration-free pumping.

Battery and fuel cell applications

In systems that require the circulation of electrolyte solutions, such as redox flow batteries or hydrogen production, induction pumps can move the electrolytes safely and efficiently.
