Bolt Heaters

The primary use of bolt heaters is for preheating bolts or studs on heavy machinery and equipment. To ensure bolts don’t come loose under immense pressure, a high concentration of heat is used to aid the tightening of the bolts. As the parts subsequently cool and contract, the bolt or stud tightens further, ensuring a secure connection.

Straight Bolt Heaters

Easy to insert into the centre of the bolt, it only takes a few minutes to reach the required temperature. Once the bolt has reached its maximum expansion, it can be tightened or loosened as required.

Range

Our bolt heaters are manufactured to order. Standard parts are kept in stock and assembled to suit customer requirements.

Those requirements will include hole diameter and heated length of the bolt. We will then advise the maximum wattage we can supply.
