Power Industry Bolting
Bolttech’s response time is second to none – eliminating days and weeks from critical outage schedules. This enables units to get back online faster, reducing costly downtime. Induction Bolt Heating can save you thousands of dollars on your next turbine outage.
With Bolttech’s Induction Heating and On-site Bolting, you can combine two important services into one vendor. The Bolttech Induction Heating System is a portable power supply that generates alternating magnetic flux fields in conductive metals to achieve rapid heating of components in the field. The process affords enormous time savings when compared to other methods, such as electrical resistance heaters and acetylene torches.
The time is reduced for Thermal Bolt Elongation from 45 minutes per bolt using resistance heaters, to only a few minutes. A safer work environment is also enhanced; the induction coils are cool to the touch immediately after heating of the bolts. Bolttech is all about comprehensive bolting solutions, with over 27 years of service, Bolttech has seen and done it all. Bolttech is prepared for whatever problems you may encounter on your next turbine outage.
