Abstract
Apparatus for heating thin items in a continuous pass by induction includes an inductor driven in rotation inside a drum made of refractory material. The strip of material to be heated is driven by rollers in order to form a loop around the drum. When the strip is a metallic one, it forms the inductive element of the device. The inductor generates constant strength magnetic fields which are moved in relation to the inductive element, to thereby heat it.
