Mining 


With over 45 years of bolting experience in mining milling applications, the fastener experts at Valley Forge & Bolt Mfg. Co. have got you covered. A wide array of bolting solutions is making costly and time-consuming downtime in grinding mills a thing of the past. From liner bolt sealing solutions to flange hardware, we continue to lead the industry with a constant feed of new innovations.

As IOT and remote condition monitoring become more mainstream, Valley Forge & Bolt Mfg. Co are bringing wireless bolt monitoring solutions, which include the tension over torque advantage, to the mining industry.

Oil And Gas


Valley Forge and Bolt has revolutionized the Oil and Gas Industry with their SPC4® Load Indicating System.

Because oil refineries constantly have flammable and hazardous fluid coursing through a network of pipes, it’s imperative that all flanges and joints be tightly sealed. Not only are leaks expensive due to loss of product, even more costly is an unplanned outage or work stoppage to perform repairs. Still, in some processes at a refinery, leaking assemblies seemed to be a fact of life. Fixed- and rotating-equipment engineers have long considered it impossible to have a 100% emission-free environment, but now they can turn to a unique and patented product to meet their needs.

Renewables

Offshore Wind Farms can be problematic to maintain. Thanks our patented Maxbolt® Load Indicating Fastener, the maintenance process is accelatorated without sacrificing safety or quality.

“The offshore wind energy market segment is following a trend we see in other energy segments,” said James Brooks, director of engineering at Valley Forge. “They recognize the advantage in using tension-based load indicating fasteners over torque-base bolting, both at installation and for post-installation condition monitoring.”

Petro Chemical/Refining

Progressive plants with innovation-minded maintenance supervisors, engineers, and reliability teams who work together for long-term plant performance improvements are turning to bolts that accurately indicate their own load and easily display the information.There are a number of assemblies found in most power generation facilities—fossil, thermal, hydro, and nuclear—where load indicating fasteners add integrity to the bolted joints.

Here are three applications where the benefits are most obvious for maximizing plant safety and efficiency. In each of these applications, alerting maintenance staff to even the smallest loss of tension in real time allows them to immediately investigate, diagnose, and prevent equipment failure. Load indicating fasteners can prevent an issue before it occurs rather than perpetuate the cycle of fail, fix, repeat.
