Get materials right
October 1st 2007 Centriquip sets up machines
right from the start with
hardened flight tips designed
specifically for the application
concerned. Braised tungsten is
suitable for most food effluents,
tungsten carbide tiles are often
used for high wear applications
such as waste oil sludges, and
Stellite alloy is used for the rotor
blades in modern jet engines.
"It's much cheaper to do the
job right in the first place," says
Neil Lacy, aftersales manager at
Centriquip."Not only is it
expensive to rebuild a machine
with the incorrect materials, a
catastrophic failure can cause
serious damage to the rest of the
machine and might even
endanger the operators." More articles from Centriquip Ltd: |
