Anwendungssituation
Magnetic Cylinder, called a Stirring Jacket, used to mix molten Titanium.
Anwendungsverfahren
Application was carried out in accordance with Belzona Know-How System Leaflet GSS-1. Approximately one mile of #6 wire which supplied the current was removed. After surface preparation, one coat of Belzona® 2221 was applied, the coil was then re-wrapped, and a further coat of Belzona® 2221 was applied over the coil.
Belzona-Fakten
The metals plant was not able to isolate the electrical short. It was more cost effective to insulate the jacket rather than to replace the coil. This job was done two years ago and remains in service. The plant was extremely happy to begin production again in such a timely manner.
