Wear in cones

dear Rex, I think the most convenient solution is the use of replaceable lining parts. Depending on the abrasive components found in the rejects, the material can be ceramic, epoxy, casting nihard, etc. Hope this is useful, Abel , Chefdechocolate

How about "hardfacing"?

Frequently asked questions about hardfacing

When you come from France, you get used to this. "Meeps!!!"

What's this France touch? New Zealand is a helluva long way from France.

Spray! More than likely your digester's are already sprayed for corrosion protection. They have other materials used to minimize wear. www.arcmelt.com This application has performed very well on the extraction screens.

We had a hammer mill that had to grind fiberglass down to a powder and the glass would wear down the hammers and liners really quickly. We found a company in Quebec that had a process / material that lasted 10 times longer than anything else we tried. Having a couple of worn out cones resurfaced with this will work but the final outcome in longevity would only be known if you try it.

Good Luck!

Hi Rex:

I worked with a chemical company some time ago that was pumping volatile coal-tar pitch (very abrasive) at 220 degrees Celsius.

We tried several different things before having a complete volute body, impellor and cover cast out of satellite.

This material is extremely hard and will likely extend your cone life by multiple factors depending on the material you are using now.

I believe that satellite is a trade name but I am sure if you Google it you will find what you are looking for.

I can help but need little nore info on the equipment type (manufacture, model etc.)

thanks,
