Safety at work: top priority
Safety at work is a central issue in industrial activities. A commitment that must involve both companies and workers to become a top priority.
Operator protection and accident prevention are at the heart of modern regulations and new technologies. In this context, the choice of innovative equipment and systems that promote safety is essential to ensure the health and well-being of employees and reduce the risk of accidents.
Modern industry demands not only safe solutions, but also efficient and easy-to-use ones. This is the context for the Helios 35+ portable magnetic induction heating system, designed by Nuova Simat to revolutionize maintenance operations in industrial environments.
Nuova Simat: innovation and quality for over 30 years
Nuova Simat, founded in 1989 by Domenico Zicchino, is a company that has been able to establish itself as a reference point in industrial maintenance, thanks to the adoption of innovative technological solutions from the very beginning.
Domenico, a pioneer in the use of hydraulic torque wrenches, laid the foundations of a company that continues to distinguish itself for its constant commitment to safety at work.
With his sons, the Zicchino brothers, taking over, Nuova Simat has expanded its global presence, establishing itself as a leader in on-site operations and industrial assembly, with a focus on specific sectors such as Oil & Gas and Power Generation.
The company’s mission is to improve the quality of life for both employees and customers by offering safe, sustainable and efficient solutions. Under the EVO brand, Nuova Simat has introduced high-tech, customized solutions that represent the evolution of maintenance operations. The company is also committed to implementing an integrated management system (IMS) covering quality, environment, health and safety, demonstrating a deep commitment to eco-sustainability and the protection of its workers.
Nuova Simat aims to be a reference point in the international industrial panorama: strategically located in Livorno, close to the main air (Pisa Airport) and sea (Port of Livorno) logistics hubs, it guarantees timely interventions worldwide.
Helios 35+: a portable heating system
Helios 35+ is a portable heating system based on magnetic induction technology, developed for bolting and shrink fitting operations. Exploiting the power of magnetic induction technology, this device can induce heat quickly and efficiently, reducing work time by up to 80% compared to traditional methods such as open flames.
Safety at work: a prerogative for Helios 35+
One of the central aspects of the Helios 35+ system is safety at work. Induction technology makes it possible to heat various components (bolts, nuts, flanges, etc.) without direct contact and without using open flames, eliminating the risks of burn injuries or electrical shocks. That results in a much safer working environment, especially during operations involving sensitive materials or taking place in confined spaces, where the danger might increase exponentially.
Helios 35+ is equipped with an integrated cooling system that keeps temperatures under control, ensuring operational safety throughout the process and the possibility of handling the inductor without having to wait for it to cool down. Finally, further added value is the absence of fuels, a factor often responsible for accidents in industrial environments.
Speed: 80% reduction in operating time
Speed is a guarantee with Nuova Simat. Saving time is a crucial factor in industrial operations, and Helios 35+ reduces heating time by 80% compared to conventional methods. This means that bolting and shrink fit operations can be carried out much faster than would be the case with other technologies.
The system is designed to maximize productivity and respect the environment: using magnetic induction, heat is generated only where it is needed, with precise and even distribution, without dispersion. Reduced heating times avoid wasted energy, ensuring a more sustainable solution.
Compactness: the portable innovation of Helios 35+
The compactness of the Helios 35+ system makes it particularly suitable for operations in confined or hard-to-reach industrial environments. With a weight of about 200 kg and dimensions of 1000 x 830 x H 1000 mm, the device can be easily transported and used directly on site, solving problems that would otherwise require bulkier and more difficult to handle equipment.
Helios 35+ offers the flexibility needed for a variety of applications, from maintenance operations on turbines to the assembly and disassembly of couplings and other industrial components. This convenience also reduces machine downtime, ensuring the continuity of operations that is indispensable in modern production lines.
Tightening and shrink fitting: versatile applications
Tightening operations are simplified with straight inductors, which allow large bolts such as hollow bolts in turbines or large valves to be tightened or loosened. These inductors can be customized to fit several hole sizes, ensuring maximum operational versatility.
For shrink fitting, Helios 35+ uses ring-shaped or customized inductors that allow components of different shapes to be assembled or disassembled. The system can work on diameters up to 600mm, making it an extremely versatile tool.
Helios 35+: compact, easy and safe
Helios 35+ is an innovative device that represents the future in industrial inductive heating operations. Its ability to increase operational efficiency, reduce working time and improve safety makes it an excellent solution for various industrial applications.
Thanks to its compactness, Helios 35+ is easily transportable and can be used in a wide range of environments, ensuring efficiency and speed in any operation.
For those who want to increase operational productivity and improve safety conditions at work, Helios 35+ is the right answer.
