When a newly installed SCAT Drop Chute at one operation began experiencing severe material build-up, it quickly created a costly maintenance challenge.
Restricted material flow accelerated wear, eventually resulting in a large hole in the BIS400 chute wall.
The site needed a repair solution that could be installed quickly in a restricted access area without drilling into the existing chute or extending the shutdown.
A Faster, Safer Repair Solution
Working in partnership with Carters Engineering, who designed, fabricated and installed the SCAT Drop Chute, Elastotec supplied Magnefast™ magnetic ceramic liners to provide a fast and practical repair.
The magnetic attachment system allowed the liners to be installed safely and efficiently, avoiding the need for drilling into the existing BIS400 chute while minimising shutdown time.
Why Magnefast™?
✔ No hot work required
✔ No drilling into BIS400 steel
✔ Fast installation during shutdowns
✔ Ideal for restricted access areas
✔ Improved wear life and material flow

When wear issues arise, selecting the right attachment method can be just as important as choosing the right liner material.
