Wear protection and tool life extension
for all sectors of industry
Wear protection is one of the best ways to improve the productivity and return on investment of industrial plants. After all, better protection against wear extends tool life. A production stop for maintenance costs expensive man-hours and materials, but most importantly, loss of sales. It is therefore important to keep production stops to a minimum. Wear limitation helps with this.
Strengthening the weakest links
Of course, periodic production stops are inevitable. But it’s annoying when you have to stop because you have to replace some highly wearing parts in between. And that while 90% of the installation easily makes it to the next scheduled production stop. This is exactly where Wivé Techniek can make a valuable contribution. We help your engineers and maintenance managers protect the fastest wearing parts from wear and tear in such a way that they are no longer the weakest link in your process. With our advice, wear-reducing materials and techniques, your entire installation will reach the next scheduled maintenance stop.
Wear protection – applications
You can’t think of it that crazy or wear will occur in any industrial process. Yet there are specific processes that are severely affected by abrasive conditions. For example, we supply wear protection solutions for mixers in the asphalt and concrete industry, for sorting machines in recycling, for conveyor belts in glass factories, for dust extraction in the steel industry and for ash sorting drums at power plants. More information on wear protection in different processes can be found via the main menu on the pages for “Applications”.
Wear protection – products
For decades, Wivé has been the specialist in service life improvement through the application of wear-resistant materials. Think of covering walls with wear-resistant welded-on plates, replacing parts with wear-resistant alternatives, applying wear-resistant ceramics in a chute, covering a drying tower with ceramic tiles, or lubricating a pump tube with a wear-resistant paste. You can read all about it in the pages about our products, found through the main menu.
Mounting wear protection
More and more customers are eager to work with wear protection measures. But they already have a problem filling in preventive and curative technical maintenance, let alone having people available for specialized work such as the assembly of wear protection materials. Wivé Techniek is happy to provide the necessary expertise. We take care of the complete process, from measuring and production supervision to assembly.
Case study from the sugar beet campaign
Once a year, the sugar beet industry runs at full speed. For years, each beet season was exciting: will the plant make it through the final weeks of harvest? At the beginning of the process, where the beets are brought in and washed, the wear of the steel chutes as a result of the adhering clay and sand turned out to be so strong that each time…
