MDM — Metal Disintegration Machining
| On-site Machining Services |
Bolttech’s highly automated, state-of-the-art disintegrator quickly and completely removes studs, bolts and taps, with no damage whatsoever to the housing. This is done safely and efficiently with the use of a portable and versatile MDM machine, which is, on average, 40% faster than conventional drilling. Bolttech’s goal is to cut your costs and save precious time.
The MDM process involves a vibrating electrode that strikes a high-frequency electric arc every time it touches the place to be heated. Fresh water is pumped through the electrode, resulting in the breakdown of the molten metal. This metal is flushed out of the hole, in dust-sized particles. The water also serves to keep the temperatures cool, except for the metal to be extracted. This process can be used on your toughest bolting applications. MDM is able to accommodate bolts of virtually any size, shape and grade.
