The high-pressure water lance in the primary crusher was experiencing extreme abrasion in a high-temperature environment. Taurus TX5-HT is a two-component epoxy resin resistant to abrasion, impact, and temperature. With its quick curing time of 1 hour, the repair was completed swiftly, and it lost only 10% of its mass after 45 days in operation. This allows continuous operation of the equipment, where previously maintenance would have been necessary.
OPERATING CONDITIONS
High temperature and extreme abrasion.
OBJECTIVE
Need for a technology capable of withstanding the abrasion and heat caused by the primary crusher.
