EcoLine establishes itself as an entry-level product. Easy to order and install, quick to operate.
ABP Induction has developed a perfect entry point into the furnace industry with the EcoLine series. The addition to the product range is designed to provide an optimal solution for small companies, research institutes and engineering offices seeking to establish their own foundry production capabilities.

With this move, ABP is targeting customers in countries characterised by the fact that companies operating in those markets primarily look for an economical solution which offers a balance between a reasonable investment, high reliability, and appropriate production capacities.
“These are markets that feature a broad base of small, often family-run operations that require economical solutions for small-scale production with different types of metals,” explains Patrick Lück, Sales Support Engineer at ABP and responsible for the development of the EcoLine.
With EcoLine, ABP Induction are deliberately focusing on small businesses and family-run companies, but also on start-ups and development offices
“It also addresses other target groups that have an interest in small, easy-to-use furnace systems with comparatively small production capacity. One example might be research and development facilities looking for small systems to produce experimental alloys, or training facilities to train new foundry employees in the basics of metallurgy and furnace operation,” he explains.
“EcoLine is of particular interest to start-ups and engineering firms that want to set up their own production facilities in order to become more independent.”

“With EcoLine, we are deliberately focusing on small businesses and family-run companies, but also on start-ups and development offices that are keen to take the next step and rely on ABP’s proven know-how. This solution is also an attractive option for research institutes and training companies. EcoLine sensibly rounds off our portfolio and especially focuses on easy access for our customers. Configure and order via our web configurator, connect after delivery by our own team of technicians – done, melting can start straight away,” says Till Schreiter, CEO and President of ABP Induction.
“EcoLine is the missing link in ABP’s product portfolio that offers exactly these potentials. While there will be some sizes in the 300 to 2 000 kilogramme capacity range that EcoLine and the well-known FS series have in common, the requirements and complexity of the systems are different. EcoLine is based on the proven and well-known FS series, but is implemented in a simplified way for non-specific, cross-industry use. The straightforward design is indicative of what the EcoLine is for: melting!” says Patrick Lück.
A key feature is the plug-and-play concept, which enables customers to install and commission the system themselves
“We have made things particularly simple for customers so that they can get up and running with it as quickly as possible. EcoLine is modular, so a certain size and performance range can be covered. And the lead times from order to delivery are very short,” he explains.
“A key feature is the plug-and-play concept, which enables customers to install and commission the system themselves – a feature that has already been enthusiastically accepted by the first EcoLine users. We want everything to be as simple as possible: The customer can put the right furnace together using our web configurator, have it installed by the customer’s team of technicians, and also commission and operate the furnace themselves.”

“Another helpful step. ABP makes instructions available for this for the customer. The customer thus benefits from the experience of the entire Group organisation. ABP offers a homogeneous, well-rounded melting solution that combines experience and new technologies into a broad-based system.”
