The Slot Cutter is used to square up the walls in potash mines. Its unique cutting head with a 16 foot cutting blade, can spin 360º and fold over to travel through the mine.
Fabrication
Boiler Boxes – Refurbished
In a hot-job shop you never know what will come through the doors.
Take these worn boxes that attach to the sides of boilers. We needed to reuse some of the components, but build new, stronger frames.
These new Boiler Boxes will fit just like the old ones, but last a lot longer.
Boiler Face Plate w/Expansion Folds
A boiler gets hot, really hot. And when it does, the walls expand.
To help control expansion, one solution is to cut slots in the walls and weld “Expansion Folds” over top of these slots.
This gives the plate a little more room to expand as the pressure builds in the unit. They are placed around the plate helping it expand as it heats.
