TRICON CUSTOM ENGINEERED SOLUTION AND PRODUCT KNOWLEDGE WINS!
MARKET SEGMENT: Lime Plants/Cement Plants
CUSTOMER: N/A
APPLICATION: Screw in Lime Plant and Cement Plants
ENVIRONMENT: High Sliding Abrasion and Erosion
COMPETITIVE SOLUTION: Single material system of weld overlay such as chrome
carbide
ISSUES:
- If during the operation screws stop moving the lime mud hardens and causes
extremely high wear on standard flights, and puts tension on the barrels
TRICON SOLUTION:
- Use two layers of tungsten carbide overlay in special matrix on flights where wear is
maximum - Tungsten carbide surface roughness allows the flights to “cut through” the lime
mud preventing screw shut down. Cutting also reduces overall wear, resulting in
doubling of screw life
