SpeedBolt® System

The SpeedBolt® System offers a practical solution for extending asset life and improving reliability in demanding operating environments. A key advantage of the SpeedBolt® is its reusability. The Rapid Arc Weldable Eye Bolt can last over 5 years. The Bolt can remain in place for several years, requiring only the replacement of the Bullhorn anchors and Clips. This results in significant reductions in maintenance time and costs.

Is SpeedBolt® the right system for your unit?

  • Your unit sees shell movement, vibration, or mechanical load that can fatigue welded anchors

  • Typical units: Rotary kilns, cyclones, clinker cooler, and high-load lining zones

What’s included in the SpeedBolt® System (project-dependent):
  • Primary SpeedBolt® mechanical anchor solution

  • Supporting components selected for the unit zone and lining thickness

How it works: By allowing flexibility and movement, a moveable anchor design helps absorb vibration and thermal expansion, reducing the risk of cracking. The SpeedBolt® system exists of 3 parts, the “eye” which is welded with Rapid Arc Welding on the colder side of the shell, next the bullhorn anchor is fitted trough the “eye” and a plastic clip is hammered on top to secure everything in place.
