Conical Flyash Hopper
Case Study Outline:
Application: 48” diameter conical steel hoppers
Liner: TIVAR 88-2
Bulk Material: Flyash
Problem: Rat-holing, plugged discharge, and erratic flow conditions.
Background:
Fabrication company supplying conical steel hoppers to end user was asked to provide a solution to eliminate flow and sticking problems.
Problem:
The Flyash mixture would adhere to the steel hopper. This resulted in a plugged discharge which not only halted further production, but also clogged equipment up-stream.
Solution:
TIVAR 88-2 liners were engineered and fabricated to fit into conical hoppers. Material was formed to provide tight fit. Small access covers were also lined to provide an entirely smooth surface.
Result:
After the TIVAR 88-2 liners were installed, all the build-up and sticking problems have been completely eliminated. Fabricator has received multiple additional orders.
IMPORTANT: Design, fabrication and installation of TIVAR 88-2 lining systems are engineered by Plastruct Canada Inc. It is crucial for a successful result that we analyze and provide a professional approach to the problem. Our experience in handling the toughest lining situation has proven itself.
