Shipbuilding Capability
PROTEM equipment are used for the shipbuilding industry for the manufacturing and ship repair.
They cover a tube diameter range from 3 mm (0,07”) to 2235 mm (88”) as standard. Possibility to go up to 4267 mm (168”) on demand.
Shipbuilding CapabilityEquipment designed and manufactured by PROTEM can be used within tight spaces and restrictive environments.
Shipbuilding CapabilityPROTEM offers a very large range of machines and tools to meet any application requirements for both the military (submarines, aircraft and carriers) and private sectors (cargo ships, ferries, passenger liners,etc) of the industry.

Some applications of Protem equipment in the shipbuilding industry
Tubes Machining prior to welding small diameter tubes in tight spaces ( submarines, machine rooms …)
Cutting pipes damaged by corrosion
Diesel motors on-site Repair
SERCO TU – TA machines are used in the repair of diesel motors because of their boring stroke and the quality of the machining finish. It extends the duration of the life of the motor increasing savings and profits.
SERCO TU-TA machines can be used for several brands of motors. Our engineering team is also able to adapt our existing equipment to your specific needs.

Special equipment Examples
Submarines : Beveling machine for submarine Hulls
Protem designed and manufactured a milling machine with an adjustable machining head which will work on the upper and lower end of the hull section.
The work to be performed is compound bevels on the inner and outer edge of a circular pressure hull section.
Thickness of section varies between 55 and 100 mm
Submarines : Automated Machine for welding submarine hulls
Protem designed and manufactured 3 automated machines using a MIG/NARROW GAP welding heads (10 mm gap. 100mm deep).
The weld is performed in two simultaneous passes though diametrically opposed welding heads in multiple passes using an oscillating wire feeder.
Weld fusion problems are eliminated.
High quality welds are achieved in both vertical and horizontal position.
The work to be performed is to weld thick plates ( 120 mm) using MIG/NARROW GAP process (horizontal and vertical).
