Case Study Outline:

Application: Indoor steel hopper in large paving stone manufacturing plant. Liner installed in complete hopper.

Liner: Liner: TIVAR 88-2

Bulk Material: Coloured, moist sand and fine aggregates

Problem: Rat-holing, plugged discharge, and erratic flow conditions, cross batch contamination.

Background:

Large paving stone manufacturer was concerned about contamination between coloured batch changes and production slow downs..

Problem:

The sand mixture would adhere to the steel hopper walls and cause a plugged discharge. When another colour or batch was run old material would shake loose and contaminate new batch with wrong colour and moisture content.

Solution:

TIVAR 88-2 liners were engineered and fabricated to fit into existing steel hopper and discharge chute. Prefabricated, radiused corner profiles were also installed.

Result:

After the TIVAR 88-2 liners were installed, all the build-up and sticking problems have been virtually eliminated. Batch contamination is almost non-existent.
