| Belzona® Repairs Hydraulic Ram In Service For Over Ten Years | | | Industry:Pulp & Paper (PLPR) | | | Application:Mechanical Power Transmission (MPT) | | | Customer Location:Paper Mill in Alabama, USA | | | Application Date:1989 | | | Application Situation:Hydraulic ram for a Layboy Table. | | | Problem:The hydraulic ram was scored due to a packing failure and was unable to build up enough pressure to raise and lower the table and transfer the stack of paper onto the conveyor system. | | | Products:Belzona® 1111 (Super Metal) | | | Substrate:Chromed Steel | | | Application Method:The application was carried out in accordance with Belzona Know-How System Leaflet MPT-3. | | | Belzona Facts:The edges of the scores were squared off and deepened with a side grinder. Belzona® 1111 (Super Metal) was then applied to the prepared surface and dressed down with a file and emery cloth. The application has been in service for over 10 years. As long as the packing and seal area is maintained, the repair should last for a very long time. | | | Photographs Description
