LINERS AND WEAR RESISTANCE
Victaulic ’ s Refuse-to-Fuse pipe-joining system is suitable for plain end and grooved HDPE pipelines , and can be used above ground , below ground and in buried systems . Installation is weather independent and made easy with two or four bolts . In addition the Refuse-to-Fuse system streamlines maintenance , as couplings can be readily disassembled and removed from the pipe , and then easily reassembled upon completion of the work
industry ' s first knife gate valve designed to be maintained in-line without having to remove the entire valve from the pipeline , resulting in up to 95 % savings in downtime and more than 60 % savings in annual maintenance costs . It is also the first Installation-Ready™ valve , made with an integrated coupling design allowing the valve to be directly installed on the pipe . This innovative design not only reduces labour hours but also
protects against potential safety hazards .” Maintenance is an essential factor when considering the selection of a knife gate valve . Due to the highly abrasive environment that these types of valves are subject to , they tend to wear very quickly requiring frequent change-out . With the Victaulic Knife gate valve , the only parts subject to wear are contained in a single cartridge kit that can be swapped out in mere minutes ; reducing labour hours spent on maintenance , increasing life span and creating a safer and cleaner working area .
Victaulic will also display the latest in highdensity polyethylene ( HDPE ) pipe-joining solutions , including couplings , fittings , and spigot outlet adapters that eliminate the need for fusing . The Refuse-to-Fuse system is simpler than traditional fusing methods installing up to ten times faster , reducing labour costs and schedule times while also eliminating the need for expensive equipment rentals and certified technicians .
Metal overlays
SSAB ’ s new product Duroxite will be introduced at MINExpo . Duroxite is described as a complement to Hardox for many applications , “ but works especially well in sliding wear environments where smaller and hard materials are processed , for example coal with high quartz content . Duroxite also plays an important role in high temperature environments . However it ’ s
important to understand that in most cases , equipment will be relined with parts made from both Hardox and Duroxite ensuring optimum service life .”
Duroxite is being sold through Hardox Wearparts . “ Contributing to its long wear life is its optimal carbide composition which ensures an excellent combination of wear resistance and homogenous bonding between the base metal and overlay .” Duroxite comes with a guaranteed overlay thickness so if a company orders ¼ in on ¼ in overlay , they are guaranteed +/ -10% to get this thickness throughout the overlay layer . This is consistent within the plate and from plate to plate . In addition , the wear properties are guaranteed to be consistent throughout the thickness of the plate down to 75 % of the overlay . The remaining 25 % of overlay is the transition layer necessary to maintain good bonding to the base plate .
Other benefits of Duroxite include excellent formability due to its staggered cracking pattern on the overlay surface . This allows for smooth bending of the wear parts and ensures a smooth flow of the processed materials . It is also simple to install parts made of Duroxite , whether bolted or welded . “ Duroxite is perfect for many applications in the mining industry such as dragline and shovel bucket liners , dozer blades , underground and front loaders , wheel and bull dozers , grader blades and more .” IM
