ISSUES:
- When feed stops, lime sets up into a concrete type material, which
is extremely hard and abrasive. The screw OD constantly rides on
the set material accumulated in the feed barrel.
TRICON SOLUTION:
- Use two layer Super C chromium carbide on the flight faces for
general wear conditions - Two layer of tungsten carbide overlay is special matrix on flights
where wear is maximum - Screw life extended from 8 month to over 2 years
