New Flameless Induction (Electrical) Annealer from Giraud

Forget flames — induction may be the future of cartridge annealing. Induction heating, using an electrical current passing through a coil, can be controlled with great precision (you can dial in the “dwell time” to a small fraction of a second). With a high-wattage power source, induction annealing is also very fast. A cartridge case can be done in two seconds or less. Combine that with an automatic case feeding system and you have a true assembly-line process capable of cranking out hundreds of precision-annealed cases per hour. Sound too good to be true? Well Giraud Tool recently announced its new Electro-Induction cartridge annealing system. This combines Giraud’s proven hopper-type case feeding system with a powerful Fluxeon Annealer. Watch the video below to see how it works.
Watch Giraud Induction Annealer Batch-Process Cases (900+ cases/hour)
Including case-shuttle time, a case is annealed and processed approximately every 4 seconds (rate based on the video demonstration). At that rate, if you keep the hopper full, you could anneal over 900 cases per hour. Even if you don’t need that production capacity, this system allows unattended annealing of your cartridge brass while you do other tasks — such as weighing powder charges or seating bullets.
We know some of you guys are now thinking “OK — I want one. What’s it going to cost?” Giraud has not listed a price yet for a complete induction annealing system. Giraud’s torch-equipped, hopper-fed annealing rig starts at $470.00. We expect that integrating the “Annie” induction unit by Fluxeon will add $500 to the price. By itself, the “Annie” induction annealer costs $449.00 on Fluxeon’s online store. But that $449.00 Fluxeon price does not include long-reach cables and adapters for the hopper feed.

Another great innovative product from Doug.
This is good where can I get one in Australia..
How can you keep the heat in the proper location with induction ?
This looks awesome! that price though…
One thing about when Doug puts something out,it will be right,and you cant beat the tech support he has with anything he sells,its never just take your money and your own your own,he wants everyone to be informed and to enjoy the fruits of engineering labors,lol
Has anyone figured out how the heating cycle is activated? Is there an optical sensor?
I have a giraud annealer, and want to retrofit. I was thinking about getting the Annie, but I need a way to automatically initiate each heating cycle.
Otherwise I’ll order the kit from Doug when it becomes available. Anyone know when that might be?
Are these units available in Australia?
How much for the complete unit for 223 & 308? How much for the induction style unit for the 223 & 308?
Most if not all these reponces have occurred over a year ago and I see no fallow up answers to them. Have you now determined what the asking price will be? Have you started production yet? How long must I wait to receive my order?Is there a warranty with the units? Should any parts wear out can I get replacement parts for this unit?
I really like your induction annealer! If the price isn’t too high I would like to buy one. What are you asking for one?
How much?
