A view of a floor and wall scraper for an Eirich mixer, protected using
TCCM20 strips to scrape the wall and TCA/20 strips to scrape the floor. Samples of each strip can be seen adjacent to the scraper.
This photograph was taken after trials at J.I.Case (Doncaster) Ltd in 1989. It shows three F.T.L. agitator blades. The one on the left is a new blade manufactured by us and protected with
WEAR-TECT-ITŪ. The one in the middle is a standard blade which was tested alongside the one on the right.
J.I.Case were having serious wear problems due to the very abrasive nature of their sand mix: they were having to replace blades every three weeks.A rotor was made up for the trials consisting of eight standard blades and ten protected by
WEAR-TECT-ITŪ. The rotor lasted three months, after which it was taken out of service because of the wear on the standard blades.
F.T.L. now manufacture agitator blades protected with WEAR-TECT-ITŪ.
