Silos
The bulk storage silo has
an inner cylinder with a
cone shaped bottom with
an outer steel shell.
The inner cylinder bottom
and cone are lined with
wear plate, chrome carbide
overlay or castings.

AR plate, poly,
rubber coated and
wire screens are
common.

Dryer Mixer Drums DBL Barrel

The dryer is used to dry the aggregate in order to ensure the bond. Wet
stone will not bond to emulsion. Lime is sometimes added to enhance bonding.
Dryer/Mixers are designed to mix the liquid emulsion with the
aggregate in the outer chamber. The inner drum acts as the pug mill shaft.
These are often referred to as double barrels

Concrete Block Plants

Concrete blocks
are conveyed
through block
plants on pallets,
which are nothing
more than a small
pieces of AR500
cut into rectangles.

The "green" blocks are mechanically loaded onto a curing

rack. The pallet is visible under the blocks.

Crushing Mill Wheel & Table

When the raw meal and finished cement are milled, the mill table is subjected to very high
surface pressures
400 BHN is more than twice as hard as carbon steel. This ensures a long service life.

Hammermill

The feed hoppers, feeders, grating, hammers and protective plates, as well as the side
wedges of jaw crushers are subjected to tremendous wear. Whether 400 BHN or 500 BHN is
best suited depends on the mineral hardness and the operating conditions.

Hammer Mill Hammers

Hammer Mill Rotors

Conveyors

The good formability and weldability of 400 Bhn offer wide opportunities in the production and
repair of various types of conveyors. 400 Bhn is used for chain convevors and screw
conveyors.

Elevator
buckets
An elevator bucket
sustains an enormous
amount of wear,
particularly at the front
edge. So the front edge is
best made of 500 Bhn,
while other parts of the
bucket can be made of
400 Bhn.

400 BHN is very well suited for
use in the classifier parts
marked in red.

The good bend ability and

weldability of this grade offers
major benefits in repair work.
