Application Situation
A scheduled outage for major plant repairs included the remediation of damaged mixer blades with Belzona elastomers.
Application Method
The Belzona trained contractor mechanically prepared each blade prior to rebuilding to the original contour with Belzona 2111. Then, the blade circumferences were further protected with multiple coats of Belzona 2131.
Belzona Facts
By choosing to repair the blades in-situ instead of replacement, tremendous financial savings were realized. This allowed the maintenance planners to have an additional budget to repair even more blades in an additive tank during the same scheduled outage.
