HMT - Model Aluminator WD -Welded Deck Internal Floating Roof
The Aluminator WD (Welded Deck) internal floating roof is the premier solution among low-emissions aluminum IFRs. Built on the proven structural components of the Aluminator 1000 heavy-duty AIFR, but with sheeting joints welded instead of bolted, this roof qualifies as welded construction per US EPA requirements. The Aluminator WD has several advantages over welded-panel-based AIFRs, including decades of proven history in both the structural and buoyancy systems, emissions welds that are raised out of the product, and a more economical installation price.
The welded sheeting-to-girder connection qualifies this IFR as welded construction per US EPA requirements.
The Sigma Strut® girder system offers best-in-class bending and torsional strength — the use of bidirectional girders means virtually no stress is applied to pontoons, and the side-slot connection system takes stress off fasteners, making connections last.
Extruded structural aluminum rim and dual rim-to-girder connections create a robust rim connection that resists torque from seal drag.
With no custom sketch panels and only standard components, this AIFR is quick to deliver and faster to install than other welded-deck-seam IFRs, and all components fit through a standard manway.
