Matrox Low Friction Lining

Hero Maque

Build-up eliminated, maintenance hotspot eradicated

The Challenge:

A leading Roof Tile manufacturer was experiencing severe build-up in a number of PE1000 lined holding hoppers. The dry concrete mix was sticking to the hopper walls disrupting production. Operatives regularly agitated the encrusted material using a rod, this action caused damage – allowing product to build-up and set behind the liners. Eventually, the set concrete would then fall into the screw-feed & damage the flight.

Our Solution:

Matrox Premium grade UHMW polyethylene

Key Features:

Lowest surface friction, special additives enhance performance

Improvement:

Competitor PE 1000: constant build-up, cleaned every 15 minutes. Screw flight regularly damaged & replaced

Matrox Premium: no build-up, no cleaning, no damage
