Belzona Facts

Premature failure of the hopper caused downtime and hopper needed to be repaired by welding. In order to prevent such failures in the future and extend working life of the hopper, customer was looking for a way to protect its critical section before installation. Belzona is already used on this machine (pipe elbow that is connected to the hopper), so customer decided to also use Belzona in this case.
