Technofast – Asia Miner – 3D initiative

3D printing technology like that being tested to enable astronauts to manufacture precision parts in space is being used for a more down-to-earth application by Technofast Industries to supply hydraulic fasteners to customers in the mining, quarry, energy, construction and infrastructure and manufacturing industries.

Award winning bolting solutions

Technofast Industries offer their “Precision Engineered Solutions” for bolting and complex fastening applications across a wide range of industries from agriculture to nuclear power generation. The company services clients worldwide with unique products manufactured at its Brisbane base, and also maintains a Services Division operating from the Kwinana industrial precinct in Western Australia.

Cam Nut on Super critical Steam Turbines

Technofast’s system replaces standard hex or round nuts with a CamNut which provides connection to the bolt, attachment for an Hydraulic Bolt Tensioner and a rigid platform to accept the reaction from the tool.

High Temperature Turbine Closure Systems

Technofast’s specialised High Temperature Turbine Closure Systems have been recognised as world class technology at Australia’s prestigious Endeavour Awards, taking out the Most Innovative Steel Product category at the presentation dinner in Sydney recently.

Hydraulic Bolt Tensioning

Technofast excels in providing solutions which demonstrate efficiency and mechanical efficacy with economy and safety. The company’s staff take pride in designing and manufacturing equipment which is not only practical, but built to last.

When bolting safety is too hot to handle, innovative Australian hydraulic nut systems provide a solution

Some of the most potentially hazardous bolting tasks in the mining, energy and materials handling sectors involve mission-critical and high heat equipment. This can include high pressure mineral and materials processing equipment, generators, steam turbines, heat exchangers, autoclaves, boilers, pressure vessels and associated pipeline infrastructure including valve assemblies.

Innovative hydraulic bolting solutions offer optimum out comesfor motor and gearbox alignment

Used extensively across a wide range of industries, electric motors and drives can operate for significant periods of time with few reliability issues. However, if they are poorly mounted or misaligned, serious and often costly problems can occur very quickly

Versatile bearing pushers optimise plant maintenance tasks

When servicing large machinery, the importance of correct bearing installation is paramount. According to bearing manufacturers, incorrect installation is directly the cause of sixteen percent of all failures.

New generation fastening technology radically cuts slew bearing bolting timewhile enhancing safety

New generation hydraulic bolt fastening technology deployed at an Australian iron ore port has enabled operators of a 5000 TPA ship loader to tension bolts during slew bearing replacement more than five times faster than by using conventional torqueing or hazardous manual methods.

New, innovative head nut system slashes crusher maintenance costs, while improving worker safety

Technofast Industries, renowned as a leading global hydraulic fastening company, has developed the EziTite® Hydraulic HeadNut system which makes changing-out head nuts on gyratory crushers a far swifter and safer operation.
