Tentec has released a new set of hydraulic nuts for the world’s mining industry. Tentec’s new nuts replace existing hexagon nuts to give a rapid, accurate and uniform bolt load to any bolted joint. The nut offers a method of bolt of bolt tensioning multi-bolt applications that greatly improves the integrity of the joint. The speed of which joints can be tensioned and de-tensioned saves time in comparison to conventional detachable bolt tensioning systems.

Mike Gethings, Managing Director at Tentec said “Although we have seen a decline in the mining industry within the UK, throughout the world, particularly in countries such as Australia, South Africa and Eastern Europe, mining is still big business. Tentec’s bolt tightening technologies are used in numerous systems and bolting scenarios including shearer section bolts, drum removal systems, conveyor gearbox and bridge conveyor bolting.”
