Excessive wear from moisture, chemical attack and abrasive media was causing belt to slip. Belt would often not track properly due to uneven lagging pads. | | | Products:Belzona® 1321 (Ceramic S-Metal) | | | Substrate:Carbon Steel | | | Application Method:Application carried out in accordance with Belzona Know-How System Leaflet SHM-12. Belzona® 1321 was blinded to rejection with non-slip aggregate. | | | Belzona Facts:The application was completed in one day for less than half the cost of conventional lagging, which was lasting less than one year! The durable Ceramic S-Metal grip system eliminated belt slippage and protected the pulley from both abrasive and chemical attack. Original rubber lagging system was lasting less than a year. | | | Photographs DescriptionHead pulley with damaged rubber laggingGrit blasted pulleyBelzona non-slip surfaceCompleted and ready for service | |
