Rapp-it is suitable for use on material handling hoses, industrial hoses, waste pipes and processing lines commonly found in nickel and other mineral processing facilities.
SCOPE
The customer had a damaged material handling hose due to the pressure and contents of the mineral ore running through it. The hose required an urgent repair or unplanned shutdown maintenance was needed, potentially costing thousands of dollars in unnecessary downtime.
SOLUTION
Industrial hoses are great for transferring harsh and abrasive products throughout processing facilities. However, sometimes abrasive materials can impact the integrity of the hose. In this example, the customer was unable to weld or clamp the hose. The customer applied 23 Rapp-it Pipe Repair Bandages (100mm x 4.8m) around the damaged area. The material handling hose was up and running at full capacity just 30 minutes after application.
