UK: Kingfisher Industrial has started manufacturing its own K-CLAD 800 series wear resistant overlay range. As the range of K-CLAD 800 overlay plate is being manufactured in-house within the UK, the process of material quality (plate and powders), deposition process, overall flatness and thickness can be controlled by means of the company’s ISO 9001 quality control certification along with its factory production control (FPC) procedures underpinning its ISO 1090 execution class three certification.
The manufacturing process uses a bulk deposit method and fluxes are mechanically deposited onto a mild steel base plate via a submerged arc fusion bonded process. Kingfisher uses a new overlay system which incorporates electronic technology to enable production of an overlay with total carbide saturation (TCS) affording increased wear resistance.
The K-CLAD 800 range can be used by industries that handle materials including ores, cement, clinker, aggregates, coal and glass. It can be supplied in sheet form or in pre-designed tailored shapes to suit its application. Typical application for the series includes the protection of transfer chutes, vibratory feeders and screens, dump trucks, hoppers and fan blades.
The UK-based wear protection specialist will be promoting the new product at the Hillhead quarrying, construction and recycling exhibition taking place in late June 2016 in the UK.
US: Martin Engineering has launched its new Pin Latch Secondary Belt Cleaner, a tungsten carbide-tipped secondary cleaner that slides in and out for service without requiring any tools. The design features a square, tabbed mainframe with segmented blades connected by a pin mechanism, allowing access and blade replacement by semi-skilled personnel.
The pin latch design provides adjustable tension for varying conditions, such as belt speed, material being conveyed and belt cleaner position relative to the head pulley. It can handle belt speeds up to 5.1m/s and the versatile unit accommodates belt rollback. The carbide tip is acid- and abrasion-resistant, and the assembly is suited for use on belts with mechanical splices, smoothly adapting to and riding over the splices without damaging the splice, belt or blade. The new belt cleaner is considered as a preferred upgrade for Martin SQC2 and SC16 Secondary Cleaners.
“The maintenance-friendly design of the new Pin Latch Belt Cleaner is engineered for a wide range of global applications,” said Martin Engineering South Africa Sales Manager Pieter Opperman. “It can drastically reduce downtime for service or replacement, since no alignment or setting of the blade is required. Inventory is reduced to a one-part blade and buffer, without bolts, nuts or other fasteners.”
Martin Engineering builds products for bulk materials handling. The company has it headquarters in Neponset, Illinois. It has offices in Brazil, China, France, Germany, Indonesia, Mexico, Peru, Russia, South Africa, Turkey, India and the UK.
