Belzona Facts
An alternative method would be to weld and grind the shaft, but this is not possible in situ. Removal of the shaft from the equipment would require over 100 hours of downtime as no spare part was available. With Belzona, this customer was back up and running in hours, not days, saving significant amounts of money from lost production and downtime.
