EFD Induction pioneered the use of induction heating for deck and bulkhead straightening in the early 1980s. Today, it is used by major shipyards worldwide.
EFD Induction's deck and bulkhead straightening systems are specially designed for ship straightening.
Induction heating cuts deck and bulkhead straightening times by as much as 80 per cent compared to alternative methods.
EFD Induction Terac systems are specially designed for ship straightening. Each Terac includes a frequency converter, cooling system, operator panel and deck-heating unit.
A handheld unit replaces the deck unit when straightening bulkheads.
The handheld transformer lets operators heat bulkheads and hard-to-reach areas.
Note the easy-to-use controls placed on the handle.. It usually takes only a couple of hours to train an operator to use a Terac system..
Terac components are designed and built to last in tough shipyard environments.
Terac works just as well on bulkheads and other vertical structures as it does on decks.
Operators can work with Terac within a 45m radius of the base unit. An optional extension unit lengthens the work area to a 60m radius.
For added ergonomic comfort, the handheld transformercan be attached to a balancer and suspended from a magnet or wire rope.
Induction heating is widely used to straighten ship decks and bulkheads.
An EFD Induction Terac system ensures failsafe operation—it makes it impossible to overheat magnetic steel.
