2,500 Ton Structural Foam Injection Molding Press

Problem: Due to the large size of the tensioners the OEM had to incorporate the use of special devices to tension the nuts properly. Overhead cranes and large, cumbersome hydraulic tools were also needed. This method was unsafe and time consuming. It took two men 21 hours for installation and removal time was 25 hours.

Solution: Patented Superbolt® Tensioners were installed using a 3/4" air-impact and hand held torque wrench. Installation was accomplished by two men in two hours. Removal time was the same.
