Cement Manufacturing<br />

Problem:<br />

Conveyor belts would receive extreme impact abrasive wear from processing aggregate. Past repair<br />

process was to vulcanize. Vulcanizing was an expensive repair process usually causing long downtime<br />

periods.<br />

Solution:<br />

Complete repair area was roughened using a grinder <strong>and</strong> wire wheel attachment. Following roughening,<br />

surface area was chemically cleaned using Cleaner Blend 300. FL20 Primer was applied <strong>and</strong> allowed to<br />

cure or dry for 15 minutes. Flexane 80 Putty, was mixed <strong>and</strong> let set up for 30 minutes. Flexane 80 was<br />

smoothed <strong>and</strong> contoured by covering <strong>and</strong> compressing with a pliable polypropylene sheet. Following<br />

functional cure of Flexane 80 Putty, 12 hours, the polypropylene sheet was easily removed.
