Case Study Outline:

Application: Production peat moss/ soil machine

Liner: Sani-Armour White

Bulk Material: Peat Moss and Soil Mixtures

Problem: High PH levels in soil mixture rusts out steel hopper. Moisture causes soil to stick to side walls.

Background:

Greenhouse facility uses soil machine daily to handle acidic peat moss and other soil mixtures.

Problem:

The high ph levels in the mixture eat through the steel hopper. Sticking of soil to side walls requires continual labour to clean off..

Solution:

Sani-Armour liners were engineered and fabricated to fit into existing steel hopper. All corners were seal-welded. Also additional UHMW liners were added underneath the chain conveyors

Result:

After the Soil machines were re-fitted with Sani-Armour liners all the build-up and sticking problems were eliminated. Chain conveyors worked smoothly reducing strain on drives. A noticeable additional benefit was the significant noise reduction. After 5 years of operation, the liners have shown no visible wear.
