Abstract. In response to the changing market situation due to energy shortages and the need to substitute fossil energy sources, a high speed convection furnace equipped with electric resistance heating elements has been developed. The idea of operating the oven exclusively with electricity opens up the possibility of completely avoiding CO2 emissions, provided that the oven is operated with ‘green’ electricity. The high convection furnace can achieve efficiencies of 87%, but cannot produce a sufficient taper, and hence it is necessary to integrate an induction module. The induction oven can be combined either as a ‘stand-alone’ version or a patented ‘inline’ version. The combination of electrical resistance with induction heating provides maximum energy efficiency with state-of-the-art taper heating and at the same time make it possible to take the step towards CO2-free production of extrusions.
