Efficient wear protection and maintenance solutions for the food industry
Production equipment in the food industry – such as conveyor systems for flour or grain, feed containers or pumps used in liquid processes – is constantly exposed to abrasive and aggressive substances that cause considerable wear. For reliable maintenance and long-term wear protection, WEICON Ceramic BL is ideal – an extremely durable epoxy resin system certified by ISEGA and compliant with LFGB regulations. It can also be used in combination with WEICON GL. The colour contrast between the two materials makes it easier to visually assess the degree of wear.
A practical application example: in a tomato processing plant, strong flow and solid particles in the conveying liquid led to cavitation and material erosion of the pump housings. After the surface pre-treatment, the damaged areas were levelled with WEICON WR2 and then coated with WEICON Ceramic BL. The pump was fully restored, avoiding replacement – resulting in a considerable saving of around €1,800.
