Boost Production Speed with the American-Made TDFC Power BrakeDuctformer builds the TDFC Power Brake in St. Louis, MO. We made this machine to create perfect 90° bends on rectangular ducts. Furthermore, it works fast on straight duct joints and fittings. Whether you need a Full Wrapper or an L-Shape Duct, this tool handles TDFC flange connectors with ease. In addition, the work is simple. One worker slides the part into the machine. They can then line up the notches in a second. This speed comes from the special blade sitting right on the bending line. Innovative Safety FeaturesRegarding shop safety, this machine sets a high bar. We added features that stop serious injuries before they happen. Specifically, the machine controls its grip based on distance. For instance, the system holds back full pressure until the clamp is very close to the metal. In other words, the machine only uses full force when the clamp is less than ¼” from the work. Because of this smart tech, your team stays safe. They can work fast without fear of accidents. Easy Setup and MoveBeyond great performance, this machine makes shop setup easy. The TDFC Power Brake runs on standard 110V power and clean, dry shop air. As a result, you can skip high-cost wiring and messy hydraulic oil. Moreover, moving the machine is a breeze. You can move it anywhere in your shop with a pallet jack or forklift. Therefore, you do not need to hire a crew to move it. This saves you a lot of money when you first set up or if you change your shop layout later. Ultimately, these features save you cash. In summary, the TDFC Power Brake gives you American quality, top safety, and real savings for your HVAC shop. | |
