Case Studies

Plant manager replaces OEM scrapers with STARCLEAN® belt cleaners, cutting carryback, reducing maintenance and offering superb service life

S. Morris experienced cement leaks and blockages at the inlet to the mixer. After switching to BFM® fitting, leaks and blockages have been eliminated.

The batcher commented: “The mixer is a hundred times cleaner now, it’s the best thing we’ve ever had installed on site.”

CEMEX Widnes readymix plant installed ConeFlex chute liner 10 years ago and it's still operational and performing well.

Within the first 6 months of operation alone, STARCLEAN® has reduced cleaning time dramatically and eliminated product waste. Subsequently reducing manual handling risks, has greatly improved staff welfare.

Often, the task of cleaning the mixer remains manual and relies on the efforts of site operatives. Since installing Walter, staff haven’t had to enter the mixer for cleaning and welfare has improved.

A leading national producer has had the ConeFlex liners in operation for 15 months, during which time the site has produced over 100,000m3 of highly abrasive concrete.

Twinshaft mixer used on HS2 project switched from traditional cast steel mixing blades to Hawiflex® to reduce mixer cleaning time.

Teka TPZ replaces rotating pan mixer, saving 68,000kWh of power per year.
