Home / Case 1
We received a call from Mitsubishi Power Systems. Their Wolf Hollow plant in Grandbury, Texas was performing maintenace and urgently needed two large broken bolts removed from a lower turbine casing. We were able to meet all of their vendor setup requirements and obtain a vendor number within 3 hours. We then received the purchase order from Mitsubishi, loaded our equipment and departed from Long Beach, CA.
Travel to job site.
We arrived on the job site and set up our equipment to extract the broken bolts from the turbine. Using our high powered portable metal disintegration equipment, we were able to safely remove the broken bolts from the turbine casing without any damage or warping. As you can see from the pictures, accesibility was limited. Our Cammann equipment is designed for quick, accurate, portable on-site disintegration of broken bolts in large stationary equipment, heavy vehicles, shipboard or a shop facility. Because we have portable, rugged, all angle, 8 motion, 4 axis, 360 degree rotation, SQSS Superstructure mounted on a magnet base, we were able to adjust our equiment to their access limitations. The highly efficient spark erosion, metal disintegration or MDM process saved Mitsubishi Power Systems time, money and costly employee resources during a hectic maintenance cycle.
