Some situations can’t be resolved with the standard box of tools. When bolts, axles or structural parts seize up, get damaged, or are inaccessible, thermal lancing is an ideal solution. At Aerts Electro Mechanics, we’re experts in this specialist technique and know how to control it safely and efficiently. It’s an ideal strategy for disassembling, cutting and dismantling projects in heavy industrial environments.
Thermal lancing is a process in which a metal tube is filled with steel rods and oxygen and ignited. The tube heats up to over 3,000 °C, an intense heat which can be used to burn rapidly through steel, concrete or other hard materials. It’s a high precision technique that avoids damage to the surrounding structure.
Our engineers have specialist training to carry out these tasks in accordance with highly stringent safety standards. Every project is carefully planned and prepared and all our work is done with attention to precision and control.
