Complex Cement Process
Many people think cement just gets dug out of the ground and put into bags and ready-mix trucks, but you “cement guys” know differently. The whole process is complex, and it beats up equipment like almost no other.
The C-Sert Advantage
That’s where C-Serts come in. When a big expensive bolt goes bad, you grit your teeth, pitch it, and get a new one. But when that bolt’s threaded hole strips, you can’t throw out the hole. You have to fix it and hope you won’t have to fix it again. With C-Serts, you’re done with that repair once and for all because we guarantee our C-Serts will outlast your equipment.
Think of all the places in your cement plant where you’ve seen stripped thread:
- In the quarry – “yellow iron”
- In the drill rigs
- In the quarry crushers
- In the secondary crushers
- In the coal mill
- In the clinker mills
- In the separators
- In the fans
- In the ball mills
These are all big machines, with big fasteners, and, when a threaded hole goes bad, that’s a really big problem.
Make Repairs on the Spot with C-Sert
You can’t exactly take a ball mill into the plant shop for repairs! C-Serts let you make those repairs on the spot, and make them fast because C-Serts are self-tapping and self-aligning, made of tool steel so they never wear out. And C-Serts come in large sizes – up to 42mm and 1 ¾” for cement-plant size bolts.
