The Banyard Brand
The Banyard brand offers a range of induction equipment including tube annealers, vertical billet heaters, step feed billet heaters and push return billet heaters primarily for the extrusion industry.
The Banyard team are committed to the continued strength of the brand and have shared their knowledge to specialist partners in the Inductotherm Group to further expand the brand globally. Hundreds of Banyard induction products are still working in the field some 30+ years later which continue to be maintained and supported through Inductotherm Heating & Welding.

The Banyard Brand
Banyard products are at the forefront of innovation and quality with several patented induction applications unique to the brand. Most notably the zero friction multi zone induction billet heater that applies multiple heating zones across the length of a billet. This allows for tapered heating of aluminium billets giving a controlled temperature gradient along the length; this allows for isothermal extrusion leading to the highest levels of productivity combined with better quality extrusion and improved energy efficiency.
In additional to non-ferrous heating technologies, Banyard also specialise in the vertical heating of high temperature alloys. The vertical billet heater range of solutions provides the most precise temperature control with minimal rejected billets even when heating small batch sizes.
Banyard’s advanced technology is installed in many world-class extrusion companies worldwide and is recognised in the extrusion industry as being highly efficient and controllable - powered by state-of-the-art LFi power convertors providing selectable frequency, multiple inverter zones with synchronised phase angles and precision control at low power levels.
Mr. Ludwig Loewy graduated at the Technical School in Vienna and in the following the years he worked at electrical firms and ship-yards; in 1913 he joined a firm of hydraulic engineers, who under his management added the building of rolling mills to their programme of work. Mr. Loewy was elected a member of the Institute of Metals in 1929.
In 1936 Mr. Loewy severed his connections on the European continent and established himself in England as a designer and supplier of hydraulic presses and rolling mills; Loewy Engineering was born. It was Mr. Lowey’s aim to make British industry independent of imports, and this policy proved its value at the outbreak of the war.
During the war Mr. Loewy invested ever more energy into his work to develop new and improved designs and to obtain improved production capacity to aid the increase in demand.
Mr. Loewy was accepted as an engineer of outstanding qualifications and became a British subject in the early part of 1942.
