#TIVAR #gypsum #rotaryplow
In a storage dome, gypsum is stored and then conveyed via a central conveyor that moves throughout the dome and pulls the material into the center and deposits it on a belt conveyor that is underneath the dome. The rotary plow moves the complete 160′ dome diameter. Routine flow restrictions routinely occurred while trying to feed the discharge conveyor. To address the flowability issues inside the dome, three items were done to address the flow restrictions:
- TIVAR 88-2 was used to line the canopy protecting the interior mechanism of the rotary plow to prevent build-up on the canopy.
- TIVAR 88-2 was used on the floor of the dome to encourage flow from the dome into the discharge chute that feeds the discharge belt conveyor.
- A TIVAR 88-2 lining of the discharge chute that fed the belt conveyor.
After completion of the linings, the facility noticed that the TIVAR 88-2 prevented the build-up and sticking of the material on its surface and the low coefficient of friction allowed the material to be more easily conveyed throughout the system, which eliminated the flow restrictions in the gypsum dome!
