Exothermic Welding System provides permanent molecular bonding.
Press Release Summary:
TerraWeld® Exothermic Welding System is suited for making copper-to-copper and copper-to-steel electrical connections. Clamp-on graphite mold safely positions and maintains any weld required, and exothermic reaction creates temperatures above 2,500°F, producing molten metal that flows into weld cavity and fills available space. Portable unit features hermetically sealed metalized TerraWeld® pouch, optimizing system lifespan. It is UL listed and recommended by IEEE and IEC.
Original Press Release:
Permanent Bonding with Optimal Results
Canton, NC. April 2009. Alltec Corporation introduces the newly redesigned TerraWeld® Exothermic Welding System. TerraWeld® provides ultimate permanent molecular bonding and is the universally preferred method for making copper-to-copper and copper-to-steel electrical connections. It is a simple, cost-effective, everlasting connection using a high-temperature exothermic reaction that does not require an outside heat or power source. Its performance is superior to all existing surface-to-surface connectors. TerraWeld® works when others won't!
TerraWeld®'s lightweight clamp-on graphite mold safely positions and maintains any weld required. The exothermic reaction creates an intense miniature furnace with temperatures exceeding 2,500 degrees Fahrenheit. Molten metal is instantly produced and flows into the weld cavity filling any available space. Moments later the mold may be easily removed in preparation for the next weld.
Alltec's hermetically sealed metalized TerraWeld® pouch is unique to the industry and provides the product with an extensive shelf life; furthermore, it makes the product portable and easy to use. TerraWeld® requires no maintenance and can be safely handled, stored, and transported. TerraWeld® is UL listed and recommended by the IEEE and IEC.
Alltec Corporation's Protection Pyramid(TM), a three-tiered comprehensive facility approach for grounding solutions, surge suppression, and lightning protection, relies on TerraWeld® to create electrical connections that will remain uniformly conductive. The code compliant, single-point, low resistance/impedance grounding system that forms the base for the Protection Pyramid could not be maintained without the dependable corrosion resistant connections TerraWeld® helps create circuits that carry the full amplitude of a short circuit safely to the ground. This solid grounding system forms the foundation on which surge protection devices are staged to dramatically filter the voltage, current, and frequency surges. Finally, a well designed lightning protection system is created to protect against direct lightning strikes.
Since 1991, Alltec Corporation has provided optimal solutions for protection against grounding problems, power quality issues & lightning strikes. TerraWeld® products are some of the latest additions in Alltec's quest to implement superior & cost effective solutions to their customers' needs. Please contact their US office for more information on their extensive line of products and services.
