Induction
Heating Tools for Marine & Boat Applications

Saltwater can do a number on diesel engines on commercial boats. The Mini-Ductor is ideal for removing corroded steel parts on yachts and other vessels, especially since it’s dangerous to use an oxy-acetylene torch in the engine house and sprays don’t work very well.

Key Benefits Include:

  • Corrosion-Resistant Solutions for Marine Environments
  • Reduce Maintenance Time and Costs
  • Enhanced Safety for Marine Applications

Versatile
Solutions for Marine Challenges

  • Removing seized bolts or fittings on deck equipment
  • Loosening corroded parts in engine compartments
  • Heat-shrinking electrical connections for waterproofing
  • Removing bonded hull fittings or through-hull components

Reduce Corrosion-Related Downtime: Quick, effective heating for removing corroded parts helps maintain vessel efficiency and minimize time out of water.

Increase Safety in Wet Environments: Flameless heating reduces risks associated with traditional methods in potentially hazardous marine settings.
