WASHMEK
Know which bolted joints are holding — and which need attention — before they fail.
WASHMEK is an intelligent bolting system that shows whether a critical bolted joint is holding its tension. It gives maintenance teams a clear, early indication of loosening, so problems are caught before they become failures.
It is intended for joints where loss of preload carries real risk: conveyor structures, vibrating equipment, chutes and heavy plant.
Site benefits
Tension tracking
Indicates bolt preload at a glance or remotely, replacing guesswork and repeated manual torque checks.
Site safety
Early warning of loosening reduces the risk of joint failure and unplanned incidents on structures and plant.
Targeted maintenance
Inspect and re-tighten only the joints that need it, cutting time at height and inside isolation zones.
Less downtime
Plan re-tensioning into scheduled shutdowns instead of reacting to breakdowns.
Where it is used
Conveyor structures
Stringers, pulley mounts and drive frames subject to constant vibration.
Vibrating equipment
Screens and feeders where bolts loosen fastest.
Heavy structures
Chutes, bins and plant steelwork where a failed joint is a safety event.
