Avoid broken screw joints

Do you want to prevent screw joints from degrading due to rust and corrosion? Or do you want to ensure that bolts and nuts don't loosen when exposed to vibrations or movement? Replacing broken bolted joints can be expensive and inconvenient. Fortunately, it is possible - with relatively little effort - to secure and protect the joints.

Assemblies exposed to wind and weather?

Bolt and screw joints in harsh environments such as on ships, offshore installations, tanks, silos and containers are particularly vulnerable to corrosion and loosening. Over time, this weakens the joints.

If your company works in one of these areas, you probably know how expensive and inconvenient it can be to replace bolted joints. That's why it's important to secure your bolted joints and protect them from corrosion.

The easy solution - bolt securing

Screw joints are typically used when installing steel plates, steel casings or sheet metal covers, or when attaching equipment to structures.

Fortunately, it is possible - with relatively little effort - to secure bolted joints. At Betech, we are proud to offer DUBOSCHWEITZER bolt locking as the exclusive distributor in the Nordic region. We know that it is a product that can make a positive difference:

Offshore platforms, wind and energy plants
Marine and shipbuilding industry
Refineries, silos and tank farms
Agricultural machinery and mechanical equipment in the mining industry

Machinery for cleaning, sorting and filtering crops and food products
Machinery in environments with aggressive chemistry or persistent vibrations
Ventilation and air conditioning

Safe railing on the wind turbine

As a wind turbine manufacturer, it makes perfect sense to secure your bolted joints. The saltwater environments in which offshore wind turbines and coastal installations operate increase the risk of corrosion. At the same time, the turbines are exposed to structural movements and vibrations.

That's why we are a regular supplier of bolt locks to the international wind turbine manufacturer Siemens Gamesa, who use the bolt locks in their railing constructions. In this way, they extend the service life of stairs and platforms while contributing to the high technical quality standard.

Benefits of home insurance

DUBOSCHWEITZER bolt locks are made of plastic polyamide, which is known for its durability. The proven design has several advantages:

Avoid loose nuts and bolts

The system ensures that the screw joints do not loosen when exposed to vibrations.

Avoid corrosion in joints

The system seals the screw joint so that water and moisture cannot penetrate and cause corrosion.

In other words, with the same component, you can address two critical challenges - increasing safety and extending the lifetime of your bolted joints at the same time.
