Shaft Sleeves Extends sleeve life 3 to 5 times longer resulting in fewer equipment shutdowns and component changes Extremely resistant to abrasive, corrosive and erosive wear Decreased wear means less leakage flow on shaft seal sleeves and less frequent packing adjustments Conforma Clad offers a wide range of OD clad shaft sleeves to fit an assortment of pump sizes and configurations. Conforma Clad will work with you to develop a sleeve wear solution. In addition, our tungsten carbide wear protection can be applied to a variety of industrial components that are affected by abrasion, corrosion and thermal shock.
	Pump Components Extends pump component life up to 5 times longer Ability to clad components up to 64” in diameter and up to 6000 lbs. Casings, suction liners, impellers Capable of cladding a variety of substrates: carbon steels, stainless steels, white iron... As clad surface finish of 125-250 RMS
Fan Liners Extends fan life 3 to 6 times longer Reduced weight Resists chipping and spalling Direct clad or liners
	Reactor Tubing Extends tube life 4 to 5 times longer Fully protects pendants, u-bends and complex shapes High coefficient of heat transfer and ability to withstand severe thermal shock Linear wear offers predictable life extrapolation Random 22 ft. lengths available Proven Results One major chemical company’s reactor tubes were facing extreme abrasion and providing only a 12-18 month lifespan. They decided to install Conforma Clad® prototypes and at the end of a six month trial phase, the reactor tubes had only a 10% reduction in cladding thickness, indicating that the new tubing would last a minimum of 5 years.
Piping & Components Eliminate/ reduce blowouts Prevent lost product Reduce maintenance costs and downtime Avoid cross-contamination Lengthen runtime between scheduled outages 10 to 15 times longer than unprotected components Reduce component weight Replaceable wear plates for point of impact in cyclones
Kennametal Ceramic Solutions
Rotary Airlocks Retrofit & Refurbishment Services Rotary airlocks protected with our ceramic solutions last 5 to 10 times longer than standard airlocks Retrofit or rebuild any size airlock Machining and grinding capabilities allow modification of existing parts to accept any specified coating or lining, which can then be ground to meet exact tolerances.
	Screw Conveyors   Extends the life of your screw conveyor up to 6X longer Refurbishment of screws up to 35+ ft Reduce downtime and maintenance costs Proven Results One company’s screw conveyor is 35ft long with a shaft diameter of 18 inches and was originally fabricated from AR plating and hard-faced with a weld overlay on the flights, shaft and digger teeth. This hard-facing as lasting only about six to nine months before reapplication was required. The reapplication of the hard-facing weld overlay was an expensive process in itself, but the real concern for the plant was the downtime associated with maintenance on the conveyor. With the new AeroTech bonded ceramic and tungsten carbide lined screw the plant anticipates it will not require maintenance on the screw conveyor for at least another three to five years.
