Johnston Pump <strong>Repair</strong><br />

Mining<br />

Problem:<br />

This slurry pump casing received extreme abrasive wear from processing large size ore <strong>and</strong> high<br />

percentage solids. A typical slurry application. The pump was fitted with a Nihard liner. Voids between<br />

the casing <strong>and</strong> liner needed to be filled or sealed to eliminate leaking.<br />

Solution:<br />

Complete repair areas were first s<strong>and</strong>blasted to a SSPC-SP5 white metal finish. Surface areas were then<br />

chemically cleaned using Cleaner Blend 300. The brass bushing was coated with <strong>Devcon</strong>’s Release Agent<br />

to allow for easy post cure removal. To maintain proper volute dimension, a wood plug was machined,<br />

coated with a paste release agent, <strong>and</strong> fitted into position. Any parts requiring disassembly must be coated<br />

with <strong>Devcon</strong>’s Release Agent. Ceramic <strong>Repair</strong> Putty was mixed <strong>and</strong> applied filling in all voids. Following<br />

full cure, (24 hours), both the plug <strong>and</strong> brass ring were removed.
