Description
The M16 x 45 Hex Head Bolt is a heavy-duty fastening component precision-engineered for Virtus Equipment and ZERMA America granulators and shredders. The six-sided hexagonal head provides excellent wrench engagement, allowing for high torque application with a standard wrench or socket, making it well-suited for accessible, high-load fastening points throughout your equipment. The larger M16 thread diameter combined with the 45mm length makes this bolt particularly effective for securing substantial structural components and critical assemblies that demand maximum clamping force and long-term holding strength. Manufactured from high-strength alloy steel with an industrial-grade protective finish, this fastener is built to withstand the continuous stress and vibration encountered in heavy-duty industrial material processing environments.

Installation Guidelines:
Use a properly sized wrench or socket to ensure full engagement with all six sides of the head and prevent rounding
Thoroughly clean threads and all mating surfaces prior to installation
Apply thread-locking compound where specified by the equipment service manual
Torque to manufacturer’s specifications using a calibrated torque wrench
Confirm proper seating and component alignment after installation
Maintenance & Inspection:
Inspect regularly during scheduled maintenance for signs of corrosion, thread damage, or wear
Replace immediately if the hex head shows any signs of rounding or stripping
Verify torque values at each scheduled equipment service interval
Keep an adequate supply of replacement fasteners on hand to support efficient emergency repairs
