NUH Cement was looking for better installation and a long-term usable anchor solution. Especially in the kiln hood and kiln inlet, they needed the best solution due to the poor anchor quality and welding problems. They chose the Speedbolt® for their problematic area.
They also used the Speedbolt® for new cooling panels (cooler sheet) to extend the life of the steel plate. Once the Speedbolt® "eye" is welded to the heat sink, it can last for a very long time. So for the next Turnaround, they can just buy V or Bullhorn anchors and attach them to the already installed SpeedBolt® eye. Indeed, as more welding is required on steel at the next TA, the life of the sheet metal is extended.

“Especially in the kiln hood and kiln inlet area, we used to face refractory anchor related problems. Thanks to the welding of the SpeedBolt® anchors on these areas, we solved our refractory abrasion problems. We have reached 3 years of service.”
