Wear Resistant Systems for Recycling
Maintain plant efficiency and integrity with Kingfisher Industrial
Plant degradation – we understand the pain
The face of the recycling industry appears to change daily as new recycling streams become a potential commercial opportunity for plant owners. At present, the process is evolving from small locally managed enterprises to a regional automated process where significant amounts of investments are made on plant and equipment. This transition opens up possible revenue streams but likewise depends on efficient continual operation in order to maximise earning potentials. As a combination of both machine and manual operations takes place at existing operations, new technologies are being introduced for handling, separation and collection of different streams, hence the need to preserve the investment made on the equipment is key.
Enhance the service life and operational availability of your equipment
Kingfisher have for many years worked upstream of the recycling industry and have a comprehensive understanding of the problems associated with handling glass, wood, plastics and metals. Relating to these problems, we can offer many solutions in managing the recycling process to cater for the characteristics of these varying products.
The Solution Providers
Utilising our range of ceramic, metallic and polymer lining systems we have had success from point of receipt all the way through to despatch. In understanding the various characteristics of both the process and the media being recycled, we can support our offer with a piece of mind warranty against service life.
Our understanding of your processes and our ability to supply the industry with design, manufacture, protection and installation services compliments engineers and managers objectives in risk management. In working together the benefits of the relationship can be shared by all.
Protection over replacement
See below an example how Kingfisher Industrial can help with Wear Protection within the Recycling industry
Problem
In the realm of waste management, efficiency and reliability are paramount. An ERF Plant, faced the challenge of handling large quantities of household waste coupled with various contaminants resulting in the degradation of its waste hall tipping chute surfaces due to the very high levels of corrosion. This deterioration not only impeded continuous material flow but also led to waste buildup inside and on top of the chutes, necessitating manual intervention from engineers and causing frequent production stoppages.
Solution
After careful analysis and consultation with Kingfisher technical engineers a proposal was made and accepted for the fabrication and installation of a new waste chute manufactured from K-FLOW metallic wear-resistant materials. This innovative solution promised to combat the effects of sliding and friction-induced abrasion, ensuring the seamless flow of bulk materials through the chute.
Benefit
In conclusion, the adoption of Kingfisher’s K-FLOW metallic wear-resistant system proved instrumental in addressing the corrosion-induced challenges faced by the ERF plant. By prioritising durability, efficiency, and ease of installation, the facility successfully transformed its waste management infrastructure, ensuring uninterrupted operations and reducing maintenance overheads. This case study underscores the value of innovative solutions in optimising industrial processes and proves the importance of proactive maintenance strategies in the waste management sector.
