Five ColWear 62-1 Plates have been successfully welded onto Feed Chutes at a Waste to Energy Plant, replacing AR400 Plates.
Chutes in Waste to Energy Plants face significant wear challenges. In this case, AR400 Plates required replacement every 5 years due to the abrasive properties of the waste material, driving up maintenance costs and impacting efficiency. To address this, the customer sought to extend the service life of this critical area of the plant and increase their output.
They opted for ColWear 62-1 Plates due to its superior hardness (55-64 HRC), abrasion and impact resistance and, proven capability of extending lifetime well beyond the industry standard. The five ColWear 62-1 Plates were welded into the chutes with a 2mm coating on a 4mm plate - 1200mm x 800mm with the coated area being 1150mm x 750mm.
Five ColWear 62-1 Plates Installed as Feed Chute Liners in Waste to Energy Plant
Coated with wear and corrosion resistant Colmonoy® NiCrBSi alloy, ColWear 62-1 Plates have a dense, tough surface that can combat the repeatedly challenging wear conditions in the Waste to Energy sector. ColWear 62-1 liners continue to be installed in other Waste to Energy applications including undergrate hoppers, vibratory tables, industrial fans, impeller liners and impact and chute liners, exhibiting lifetime service improvements versus conventional wear plates.
Our ColWear team, located in Pontardawe, Wales, bring together decades of experience in finding solutions to challenging wear issues.
