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.

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.

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.

Technofast specializes in advanced hydraulic bolting and lifting solutions for global industrial applications. With a history of innovation, the company has partnered with industry leaders like Siemens Energy and Westinghouse Electric. Recognized with accolades such as the Platt’s Global Award, Technofast fasteners are extensively used in international commercial nuclear power generation.

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.

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

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 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.

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.

An Australian innovation is making light work of some of the largest and most difficult bolt tensioning applications encountered in high temperature areas of electricity generation, mining, petrochemical and other processes.
