In the phosphate ore processing industry, vacuum belt filters play a crucial role in the separation and filtration process. The rubber belts of these filters are subject to significant wear and tear due to the abrasive nature of phosphate ore and the harsh chemical environment. JCH Rubber Company was approached by a major phosphate ore customer with a request to replace the rubber belts of their vacuum belt filters to improve the efficiency and reliability of their filtration systems.
Challenges
- Abrasive Environment: Phosphate ore contains hard particles that can quickly wear down the rubber belt. The previous belts had shown signs of significant abrasion, leading to reduced filtration efficiency and potential leaks.
- Chemical Resistance: The processing of phosphate ore involves the use of various chemicals that can degrade the rubber. The new belts needed to have excellent chemical resistance to withstand these substances.
- High - Volume Production: The customer's operation has a high production volume, meaning the replacement had to be completed quickly to minimize downtime.
JCH's Solution
- Material Selection: JCH's experts selected a special rubber compound with high abrasion resistance and excellent chemical resistance. This material was specifically designed to withstand the harsh conditions in phosphate ore processing.
- Customized Design: The rubber belts were custom - designed to fit the customer's specific vacuum belt filter models precisely. This ensured a perfect fit and optimal performance.
- Efficient Installation: JCH's experienced technicians carried out the installation. They used advanced tools and techniques to complete the replacement quickly and smoothly. The team also provided on - site training to the customer's staff on how to maintain the new belts for longer life.
