What INDUGA Industrie does

INDUGA GmbH & Co. KG (a subsidiary of Otto Junker GmbH, headquartered in Simmerath-Lammersdorf, Germany) designs, manufactures, and sells custom industrial induction furnaces and complete melting, holding, casting, alloying, coating, and heating plants for the metals industry. Its core technology uses electromagnetic induction to heat metals directly without combusting fossil fuels, enabling CO2-free operation when powered by green electricity and supporting the circular economy through efficient scrap and chip melting. The portfolio spans channel-type furnaces, crucible-type coreless furnaces, drum-type furnaces, low-pressure casting machines, PUMA ladle pouring machines, strip coating pots, batch galvanizing pots, pre-melting units, cathode melting furnaces, plasma heating systems, and specialized units such as a wet brass chips melting furnace that eliminates pre-drying. Technical differentiators include temperature control accuracy of ±1–2°C, drum-type throughput up to 24 t/h, strip coating heating capacity up to 2,600 kW, and batch galvanizing pots up to 300 t.

The company operates as a B2B capital equipment manufacturer targeting metal producers, foundries, and steel strip coating lines across ferrous and non-ferrous metals (iron, steel, aluminum, copper, brass, bronze, zinc). Revenue is generated primarily through one-time, bespoke capital equipment sales with associated installation and commissioning services; pricing is opaque and quoted per inquiry. Marketing and lead generation run through the corporate website (German/English), downloadable PDF brochures, and direct phone/email contact — there are no channel partners, marketplaces, or paid advertising channels. The company is private, with no public listing, no funding rounds disclosed, and no named customer logos in the input data.

Core offering

INDUGA designs and manufactures custom industrial induction furnaces and complete metal processing plants for melting, holding, casting, alloying, and coating of ferrous and non-ferrous metals. Products are built using electromagnetic induction heating technology that heats metals directly via electromagnetic fields without combusting fossil fuels, enabling energy-efficient, CO2-free operation. The company also supplies specialized recycling systems for processing moistened brass chips and plasma burners for ladle and tundish heating in continuous steel casting.

Product overview

INDUGA Industrie offers a comprehensive portfolio of induction-based industrial furnaces and metal casting equipment. The product line centers on electromagnetic induction technology for efficient, CO2-free heating of metals. Core products include channel-type and crucible-type coreless furnaces for melting, drum-type furnaces for holding and homogenizing, and specialized casting equipment including low-pressure casting machines, PUMA ladle pouring systems, and coating pots for galvanizing applications. The portfolio serves various metals (Iron, Steel, Aluminium, Copper, Brass, Bronze, Zinc) across continuous casting, batch galvanizing, and metal recycling operations. All products leverage induction heating technology for precise temperature control and environmental benefits.

Products and services

• Channel-type furnaces Induction furnaces with furnace vessels heated by channel-type inductors, used for melting metals in industrial production lines.
• Crucible-type coreless furnaces Cylindrical induction furnaces consisting of coreless crucible-type inductors for metal melting applications.
• Drum-type furnaces Drum-shaped induction furnace with eccentric vessel arrangement between rotating discs for continuous and batch melting of non-ferrous metals (copper, aluminum, zinc alloys). Throughput up to 12 t/h with two inductors or 24 t/h with four inductors; capacity 12–70 t for copper; temperature up to 1,250°C; electrical power up to 4×2,000 kW.
• Low-pressure casting machines Pressurized induction furnaces for upward metal casting, enabling precise control of the casting process and pressure-controlled filling.
• PUMA ladle pouring machines for one-off and series casting Automatic, non-heated tiltable ladle system for highly precise pouring in series casting lines.
• Strip coating pots Ceramic-lined channel-type induction furnace of rectangular shape used as steel-strip coating pot for Zn, ZnMg, ZnAl, and AlSi alloys. Temperature control accuracy ±1°C; heating capacity up to 2,600 kW.
• Coating pots for batch galvanizing Ceramic-lined induction-heated dipping tanks for batch-type hot-dip galvanizing with precise bath temperature control, capacity up to 300 t.
• Pouring furnaces for vertical continuous casting Tiltable channel- or crucible-type furnaces designed to pour metal from a forehearth into a vertical continuous casting mould.
• Furnaces for horizontal continuous casting Furnace with a channel-type inductor flanged to a horizontal continuous casting mould.
• Metal chips melting furnace Unique furnace solution with melting process and chip feeding system designed for cost-efficient recycling of moistened brass chips. Damp chips are fed through a refractory hood; oil-water emulsion evaporates and burns above the metal bath, eliminating need for pre-drying.
• Pre-melting units Channel- or crucible-type furnaces used to produce coating alloys and transfer them directly to the coating pot.
• Cathode melting furnaces Trough-shaped furnace with up to six inductors for melting NF metals, such as copper and zinc.
• Plasma technology Plasma burners for ladle and tundish heating in continuous steel casting.
• Indumat pouring furnace Pressurized multi-chamber pouring furnace for specialized casting applications.
• Low-pressure casting furnaces for sand moulding lines Pressurized induction furnaces for bottom-poured sand moulds in sand casting production.
• Storage furnace for aluminium alloys Pressurized furnaces used as storage units for aluminium alloys to maintain temperature and quality.
• Alloying furnaces Drum-shaped melting and holding furnaces for alloying metal compositions.
