Case Study Outline:

Application: Various heavy duty chain incline conveyors.

Liner: TIVAR SuperPlus

Bulk Material: Wood chips and wood pulp

Problem: Excessive chain wear and drag on steel pan. Existing plastic liner didn’t last very long.

Background:

Large pulp and paper facility was concerned about wear on the hogfuel chain and efficient conveying of wood product.

Problem:

The existing plastic liner supplied by a local company failed after a short time. Going back to no liner would cause premature replacement of the costly conveyor chain.

Solution:

TIVAR SuperPlus liners were supplied to fit into existing conveyor pan and were installed by plant maintenance staff.

Result:

After the TIVAR SuperPlus liners were installed, hogfuel chain worked smoothly eliminating noise, drag on drive motors and sticking of wood pulp to conveyor pan. After 2 years of operation, the liners have shown minimal visible wear.
