Abrasion wear and corrosion can become a major setback when it comes to the efficiency of your equipment. Traditional methods of repair, such as part replacement and custom manufacturing, are high cost solutions compared when using LOCTITE® Repairing, Rebuilding, and Restoring products. You can find a quick remedy and return parts to service with little interruption and downtime to your process. Looking to restore your wastewater treatment facility equipment to new or even better condition? Here are a few ways to help tackle the issue:
- Apply a brushable ceramic coating to grit pumps. Rebuilding and wear prevention products for grit pumps damaged by abrasion from water containing sand and stone, is a fast and reliable method for a long-lasting fix. To help protect its interior surfaces, LOCTITE® PC 7227™ Brushable Ceramic can provide an easy solution to reducing damage from corrosion, abrasion, and cavitation while increase efficiency.
- Apply a wearing compound to the inside of screw conveyors. Continuous smooth movement of sludge, grit, and biosolids through a screw conveyor is critically important. If the walls are not slippery enough, the media being carried can start to build up, thus decreasing efficiency. Applying LOCTITE® PC 7226™ Nordbak® Pneu-Wear to the conveyor interior will reduce premature wear, increase equipment life, and reduce overall operating cost of a facility.
- Apply a wear resistant putty to restore original pump dimensions. Severe corrosion and abrasive wear are common problems in process pumps. Using a repair and wear prevention product such as LOCTITE® PC 7222™ Nordbak® Wear Resistant Putty will help fill deep voids in the pump casing and impeller while applying it in a smooth layer with careful measurements to ensure correct pump dimensions. This repair process can be completed in less than five days versus waiting several months for a new pump delivery.
