Innovative lining of an elevator rotary distributor

Initial situation: Massive wear leads to production downtime. The customer was faced with a severely worn rotary distributor that already had holes. In addition, the elevator discharge was unprotected, resulting in significant material leakage and a massive increase in cleaning efforts. Urgent action was needed to ensure continuous operation. The PUCEST protect installation team analyzed the situation on-site and developed a customized solution. First, the old, worn steel lining was carefully removed. The real innovation lay in the subsequent relining, which combined two different PUCEST materials: Surface wear protection: The main surfaces of the rotary distributor were lined with 10 mm thick PUCEST plates with a Shore hardness of 85. This material offers high elasticity and excellent abrasion resistance to minimize frictional wear. Protection of impact zones: PUCEST SZ plates were also used at the particularly exposed impact points where the material strikes at high speed. These plates are specially designed for areas with high mechanical stress and offer superior protection against impact and wear. The result: perfect material flow and a sustainable increase in efficiency. Thanks to professional installation and the use of combined PUCEST materials, the problems with the rotary distributor have now been completely resolved. Material no longer falls uncontrollably from the distributor, and the conveyor belt remains clean. The new lining not only ensures uninterrupted material flow but also significantly extends the service life of the rotary distributor.
