ULTRATUNGSTEN TWINSHAFT MIXER BLADE: CONFINED SPACE WORKING CUT BY 50%

4 months
CAST STEEL BLADE WEAR LIFE
18 months
ULTRATUNGSTEN BLADE WEAR LIFE

“The UltraTungsten mixing blades have performed remarkably well considering our throughput and how abrasive our various mix designs are. They last far longer than cast so I don’t have to get into the mixer to adjust or replace so often.” Concrete Plant Foreman

The Challenge:

A major construction project required large volumes of high spec concrete. Cast steel mixing blades in the twinshaft mixers were struggling to cope and causing too much downtime. Replacing heavy blades in the inaccessible mixers posing safety risks.

Our Solution:

UltraTungsten carbide protected mixing blade

The Improvement:

Downtime and maintenance cost dramatically reduced

Wear life comparison:
Cast steel – 4 months
UltraTungsten – 18 months

PROJECT DETAILS

Key features:
