Rod Mill <strong>Repair</strong><br />

Fast Cure Rubber <strong>Repair</strong> Putty<br />

Tampa Electric Co. / Polk Power Station<br />

Problem:<br />

Wear plates inside the coal grinding rod mill become worn <strong>and</strong> sloppy. These open joints cause coal to<br />

“hang up” in these areas <strong>and</strong> loosen the wear plates. This will use efficiency problems in the grinding of<br />

the coal<br />

Solution:<br />

First all the wear plates joints were blasted to a SSPC-SP5 finish. Then the joints were cleaned with a<br />

water base degreaser <strong>and</strong> allowed to dry. Next our Flexane FC Putty was applied using he 400 ml<br />

cartridge delivery system using the pneumatic gun. The material was injected into the joints between<br />

the wear plates <strong>and</strong> a mechanic than “smoothed out” the material to bridge the plates. Material was<br />

allowed to dry for 24 hours <strong>and</strong> then put back into service!
