Belzona Facts

Dismantling the pin housing for replacement would have been very time consuming and costly as the entire backing plate would have had to be detached. The Belzona forming technique not only allowed for the repairs to be completed in-situ after just one day but also significantly extended the life expectancy of the scoop tram bearing pin.
