1. An inductor to heat, by electromagnetic induction, an electrically conductive body, wherein said inductor comprises:
an induction body, provided with a coil suitable for the generation of an electromagnetic field inside it, wherein said coil is made as a hollow tube made by spirals,
an insulating body conformed as a hollow tubular body disposed, during use, in a containing seating of said coil, suitable to be inserted into, and extracted from, said containing seating, and defining a transit channel for said electrically conductive body, and
a containing body, configured to house said induction body and said insulating body, provided with apertures coherent with said transit channel, wherein said insulating body is removable from said induction body and wherein said inductor comprises a front head and a rear head, positioned respectively on a front face and a rear face of said containing body, provided with passage apertures aligned with said transit channel, wherein said front head and rear head are removable and are configured to be assembled onto and disassembled from said containing body to allow the insertion and extraction of said insulating body into/from said containing seating; and
wherein said containing body comprises an upper aperture having a section suitable to allow the passage through it of said coil.
