Ball Mill <strong>Repair</strong><br />
<strong>Devcon</strong>® Irathane® 155<br />

South American Copper/Gold mine<br />
Mining<br />
Problem:<br />
The customer had purchased a used milling line. The ball mill in the system was very worn on all<br />
surfaces, including the covers. This was due to defects in the internal coating, which allowed leakage of<br />
the pulp between liner <strong>and</strong> shell. The customer needed to restore worn dimensions to original condition,<br />
<strong>and</strong> prevent future problems. <strong>and</strong> used Wear Guard Fine Load on all worn areas. The whole surface was<br />
then coated with Irathane 155 as protection against possible future liner failure.<br />
Solution:<br />
Complete surface was blasted to white metal (SSPC-SP5). Surface was then cleaned with Cleaner Blend<br />
300. When the surface was dry, eroded areas were repaired with Wear Guard Fine Load. Within 4 hours,<br />
the substrate was primed with SA-200 applied with airless spray equipment. This was allowed to dry for 3<br />
hours, when Irathane 155 was applied, using 42:1 ratio airless equipment. Two coats of 155 were applied,<br />
achieving a total DFT of 2.5 mm. <strong>Repair</strong>s were made <strong>and</strong> future damage prevented, using two <strong>Devcon</strong><br />
systems.
