Containerised PLC Controlled Hardbanding Unit 

HardbandingGENERAL SPECIFICATION
For welding all types of hardbanding wires & capable of handling welding wire sizes from 0.6mm - 3.2mm & welding tubulars diameter from 2-3/8" - 10" od. Including centre sections on hwdp Unit is containerised into two compartments, operators main working area with open access via roller shutter doors. The second area has storage space & houses the hydraulic power pack, induction heating system . This also has a roller shutter door for easy access of outside crew & ventilation of the above mentioned equipment.

INDUCTION PR-HEAT/ POST HEATING SYSTEM (Optional)

With the new 35 kw induction heating system, one or two tool joints can be rapidly and uniformly heated for preheat or stress relief with minimal setup and instruction time. An induction heating system induces heat electromagnetically rather than by using a heating element to conduct heat, as does resistance.

The new 35 kw induction heating unit can be used as a liquid-cooled system for temperatures up to 1450º f. The 35 kw induction heating system features multiple outputs, four control thermocouples to ensure uniform heating, significantly faster time to temperature than conventional heating and an extremely easy-to-use operator interface that allows the operator to program & hold temperature times. It also tutors the operator to achieve maximum output from the induction coils.

By switching from conventional heating processes, (propane or resistance heating), to an induction heating system companies have experienced a reduction in preheat time while attaining more uniform heating without incurring consumable costs. The new induction heating system is designed to require minimal instruction and set up time, decreasing labour costs while increasing productivity.

DIESEL GENERATOR SET (Optional)

100 KVA, 3 phase 380-440v 50hz. generator with sound deadening & acoustically treated enclosure ( this unit is a stand alone outside hardbanding container).
