Application Situation
Trunion end bearing for a 40-ton lime kiln.

The application was carried out in accordance with Belzona Know-How System Leaflet MPT-7. Side shields, C-clamps and infrared lights were used to speed up the cure time.
Belzona Facts
The cost of a new cast iron trunion is approximately $20,000. Replacement of a new trunion was considered, but weeks of procurement time eliminated that possibility because the lime kiln was shut down. The pro-file was restored by using Belzona® 1111 (Super Metal).
