Welcome to Nichiboku Tech's Industrial Blog
Introduction
In large-scale turbine maintenance, precision and reliability are non-negotiable. The Nakai Bolt Heater – Straight & Flexible Type, engineered in Japan and supplied worldwide by Nichiboku Technology, delivers controlled, uniform heating to ensure secure fastening, easy bolt removal, and extended turbine life. Whether in power generation, marine propulsion, or heavy industry, this tool ensures professional results every time.

Why Bolt Heating is Critical in Turbine Maintenance
Turbines operate under extreme thermal, mechanical, and rotational stresses. During assembly and disassembly, precise bolt heating is essential to:
Achieve uniform expansion for secure installation
Avoid thread damage and component wear
Maintain operational safety and reliability
The Nakai Bolt Heater’s advanced heating elements provide consistent, controlled heat, ensuring bolts expand evenly and can be installed or removed without risk to surrounding components.
Straight vs. Flexible Type – Choosing the Right Tool
Straight Type Bolt Heater
High-intensity, direct heating for bolts with unobstructed access
Best for standard turbine maintenance environments
Flexible Type Bolt Heater
Adaptable heating for confined, angled, or hard-to-reach bolt locations
Ensures precise heat delivery in challenging assembly spaces
Key Features of the Nakai Bolt Heater
Precision Japanese Engineering by Nichiboku – High-quality heating elements for consistent results
