Problem:
The steel transition chutes of the centrifuge conveying system would receive extreme abrasive wear. The
wear was caused by compressing 3-6% solid through to 28-35% solids. The wear was so severe that the
wear plates required immediate replacement.
Solution:
The wear plates were sandblasted to a SSPC-SP5 white metal finish. Complete surface area was then
chemically cleaned using Cleaner Blend 300. FL10 and FL20 Primers were applied and each allowed to
cure or dry for 15 minutes. Using both primers will improve adhesion of Flexane 80 Putty from 25 pli. To
50 pli. Flexane 80 Putty was applied to a thickness ranging from 1/2” to 5”. Flexane 80 Putty provided a
long lasting, abrasion resistant, and compression resistant protective lining.
