Bolt heating
The use of induction heating for bolt expansion is the proven time and labour-saving alternative to inefficient flame and resistance heating.
What is induction bolt heating?
What are the benefits?
- Outperforms traditional flame and resistance methods by offering faster, more precise, and damage-free heating.
- The localized heat prevents damage to bolt threads and eliminates the risk of rods melting inside bolts.
- Additionally, it enhances process control, energy efficiency, and operator safety.
