Bolt
Heating
Our patented Turbine Bolt Heating System
utilizes variable frequency inductive equipment and
processes to thermally "elongate" turbine
bolts in a fraction of the time normally required
for the operation. With specifically designed inductors*,
all heated bolting can now be removed or tightened
within one shift-- or less.
This proven method reduces outage time
by days, saving millions of dollars in down-time.
Plus, the process minimizes safety concerns associated
with the forceful removal of nuts with sledgehammers
and slugging wrenches. Nuts can easily be removed
using simple hand tools, reducing possible injury
and lost man-hours.
