All around eciency is provided by the use of pre-assembled fastening systems; fewer part types, lessened assembly costs, and mimimized supplier base are just a few of the many reasons the trend is in pre-fabricated components. Depending on the application, manufacturers can use dierent materials and take advantage of detachable or permanent captive fastening systems. Features and benefits : -Assembly costs and times are reduced -Mimimized part diversity -High level of assembly reliability -Decreased efforts in assembly -Eliminate lost parts -High load capacity -Integrated tolerance compensation -Minimized supplier base for effectiveprocurement and decreased logistic costs -Removal of thread-cutting and self-tappingscrew combinations -Omission of incorrect product usageand assembly errors -Effortless disassembly and reassembly Advantages : -RELIABILITY OF ASSEMBLY -INTEGRATED TOLERANCE COMPENSATION -ALLOWANCE OF COMPACT DESIGNS - HIGH LOAD CAPACITY

Universal fastening element. The hammer-headed screw is twisted into the profile slot and so can mounted into an existing systems at a later date. The serrations break through the anodised film and creates a secure, electrical conductive connection.

The surface of the hexagon head bolt is polished and, with regard to design optimised for the use in hygienic environments. The bolt head is convex on the top face and the collar has a conical formed top surface. Instead of troublesome embossing or indentations, the bolt head is smooth with a surface finish of Ra 0.8 µm. Dirt and residue from products or cleaners seldom adheres and easy cleaning is ensured.

The Hygienic DESIGN fastening system was specially developed for use in food processing facilities. Special attention was paid to the cleaning-optimised geometry and a surface finish of Ra ≤ 0.8 µm. The quick and easy installation due to a pre-installed sealing washer rounds off the overall package.
