Matrox Low Friction Lining

The Challenge:

A readymix concrete plant handling crushed limestone dust was experiencing severe blockage in storage bins. The fine, powdery dust was sticking to bin walls and forming a hard crust, particularly when wet. Layers of build-up developed over time, reducing bin capacity and causing severe rat-holing. Attempts to solve the problem with air hammers compacted the dust making matters worse.
