Industry

Site
Hunter Valley, NSW

Application
Cyclone Patch Repair

Problem Description
Engineered ceramic tiles fracture and dis-bond with the high impact from the reject coal. Replacement tiles or cyclones are not readily available meaning extensive downtime and production losses occur

Imatech Solution
Damaged and even holed out cyclone bodies can be readily repaired by abrasive blasting and trowel applying the ARC composites. ARC890 & ARC897 are a fast and effective way to get the plant on line and can be force cured for even faster turnaround.

The Results
In this case the Coal Preparation plant was back on line in 24hrs compared to several weeks for new replacements. Repaired cyclones are now part of inventory, just in case a failure occurs.

Huge downtime savings and recycling of old cyclones saves valuable time and money.
