Overview
Due to severe erosion of parts (see Fig 1), we undertook a refurbishment of an ex-service Nickel drying coil.
The project was broken down into the following process:
- Replacement of coils 1-12 due to excessive wear
- Replacement of all coil wear plates and scrapers due to excessive wear
- Replacement of both the drive and the drive shafts due to corrosion and wear
- Lifting the and manipulating the entire 9500kg unit to allow an efficient and ergonomic work area
- 100% 3rd Pty Penetrant testing to all welds
- NATA approved Nitrogen pressure testing
- All welding and testing in full compliance to AS-1210-1 standards
A challenging and successful project – great work team.
