Industry: Water / Wastewater (WATR)
Application: SHM-Solids Handling Machinery (SHM)
Substrate: Carbon steel
Customer Location: United Kingdom
Application Date: November 2019
Products: Belzona 1814
Problem: Screw conveyor used to skim sludge from the base of a silo at a biomass plant.
Application Situation
High abrasion was leading to unprotected screws only lasting 3-4 months in service. Previous Belzona applications on this type of screw was completed with Belzona 1812, which extended their life to over 2 years.
Application Method
The screw conveyor was grit blasted to SA2 1/2 with a minimum surface profile of 3 mil (75 microns). The area to be coated was then cleaned and degreased using Belzona 9111. Belzona 1814 was applied to the entire area of the conveyor to provide long-term protection against heavy abrasion.
