Our customer’s material feed hopper was pretty battered after a few years. Instead of a new hopper, which would have meant considerable costs and downtime, we suggested lining the hopper with PUCEST panels with a perforated plate insert.
Our current patient was a ring trough mixer with a cracked rotor and completely embedded clamping and spring elements. The customer was unable to obtain a new rotor quickly. Installing a new mixer was out of the question for reasons of time and cost.
The seals were worn and material could seep through the side guides. The side guides were made of steel and were quite damaged in places. Our assembly team used PUCEST plates and the PUCEST material guide to repair the Wiegand. A lot of drilling and screwing was now required.
Our customer’s hopper was not lined. Due to the structure of the metal sheets, material residues were accumulating and solid caking was formed. We received the order to completely line the hopper to prevent major wear. We took on the task with our PUCEST panels with perforated metal inlay.
Our customer operates a loading chute in the metal processing sector. A very large number of screws run over the chute. Due to high temperatures, the PU used in the outlet area has dissolved in places. In order to be able to continue operating the chute, the wear protection used would have to be replaced.
At our customer’s plant, there were repeated problems during transportation on the conveyor belt. The material (mainly sand) ran under the side guide and the entire conveyor belt had to be completely cleaned at relatively short intervals. The PUCEST material guidance protects the belt and ensures an even material flow.
The cleaning of conveyor belts is always a topical issue. Residues cause high costs due to material loss and cleaning effort. The belts, rollers and system components wear out prematurely. Efficient belt cleaning is therefore urgently required for adhering goods.
Our customer’s ring trough mixer was badly damaged, the gearbox was worn out and the mixing arms were corroded. It was no longer possible to adjust the mixing arms. We completely dismantled the mixer, removed the gearbox and repaired it.
The success story continues. The next easycleaner is at our customer’s premises.
The easycleaner really makes work easier for the employees, the short cleaning program for in-between only takes about 1 minute, a complete cleaning only 4 minutes. A considerable time saving compared to the time-consuming cleaning previously required.
The rubber lining of the material feed hopper was damaged and there was heavy caking in several places. We removed the old lining and sanded down the hopper. The hopper was measured, templates were made and the PUCEST AHA sheets were cut to size accordingly. The PUCEST AHA (anti-adhesion plate) is particularly suitable for this application.
Our customer operates an insertion chute in the metal processing sector. A very large number of screws run over the chute. Due to high temperatures, the PU used in the outlet area has dissolved in places.
