BROOKS FORGINGS LIMITED
M90 Hammerhead Bolts for Kiln Expansion Project in Sweden
Our latest production was for a client requiring manufacture and delivery of 68 total DIN 261 hammerhead t-bolts in grade 8.8 material and M90x4550mm in size, each weighing 220 kilograms.
The combination of weight and length presented us with several challenges from safety and logistics to simply achieving a consistent production workflow. A dedicated production team was assigned to the project and through a combination of meticulous planning and utilisation of special lifting and moving jigs we were able to fully optimise the manufacturing process. Brooks Forgings is the only UK company capable of producing these hammerhead bolts in the lead time required.
These particular M90 hammerhead bolts were shipped to an expansion project located in Sweden that involves the installation of a new fossil-free kiln used during pulp production. With the launch scheduled for Q4 2021, it was essential that the bolts were manufactured and supplied on time so the foundation works could commence.
