Fasteners for the farming sector: silos and agricultural machinery

The agricultural sector has a special role to play in the national economy, environmental protection and technology innovation. Agricultural machinery and metal silos play a fundamental role in the sector: agricultural machines are a vital operational tool and silos are essential for storing the harvest.

At CHAVESBAO, we offer a range of standardised fasteners for use in the maintenance of farming machinery and construction of silos

Fasteners for agricultural machinery and silos

Using standardised fasteners is the best way to guarantee a safe and secure assembly when maintaining agricultural machinery or building grain silos. In our catalogue, we offer a range of products designed for these types of applications.

• Silo bolt (similar to DIN 6921): this type of bolt has a hexagonal flanged head with a serrated washer surface to provide greater load-bearing support and increased grip. This type of serrated washer is used in applications where safety and stability are critical, such as on heavy machinery or equipment that is subject to high levels of vibration. Silo bolts have a recess that allows the top of the head to remain flush with the surface of the part that it is attached to. This provides a smoother, more aesthetically pleasing finish.
• Hexagon nuts: hexagon nuts are manufactured according to DIN and ISO international standards, thereby ensuring compatibility and high-performance in projects all over the world. In addition, their robust design makes them suitable for applications that involve high loads or vibrations as the contact between the flat faces of the nut and the tool provides a secure grip.
• Self-locking nuts: this type of nut is designed not to come loose when subjected to movement or vibrations. This is done by way of a nylon or metal collar which prevents the nut from rotating freely once tightened. In our catalogue, we offer a wide range of DIN nuts for use in the manufacture of agricultural machinery and silos.
• Flat washers: flat washers are the perfect component to help uniformly distribute the load on the bolt head. They also protect the surface area of the material by preventing direct contact between the nut and bolt head.
