Coal-Fired Plants

 

Conforma Clad has delivered cost-effective wear solutions to coal-fired power plants since 1991. Our brazed tungsten carbide cladding is proven to diminish the effects of abrasion, corrosion, and erosion caused by fly ash and other particulate matter. We significantly extend the useful life of fan blades, ash conveyance systems, and components for coal burners and pulverizers.

  • Avoid Unscheduled Downtime - Our uniform cladding promises dependable wear rates and predictable life, which are critical in scheduling maintenance intervals and avoiding costly and inconvenient equipment failures.
  • Extend Planned Outage Cycles - Prolonged component life results in fewer equipment shutdowns and component changes, increasing run times between scheduled maintenance cycles.
  • Reduce Maintenance Costs - Predictable and longer-lasting equipment performance reduces unexpected maintenance expenses.
  • Increase Productivity - Extended run times allows you to maintain maximum performance levels with increased system availability, power generation and profitability.
  • Eliminate / Reduce Blowouts - Our cladding can be applied to the weak links in your conveyance system, eliminating blowouts and product loss.
  • Conveyance Prevent Lost Product - Undetected blowouts can lead to excessive product loss and require large clean-up efforts. Lost product can be contaminated, resulting in a total loss.
  • Reduce Maintenance Costs & Downtime - Eliminating blowouts reduces maintenance expenses and unscheduled downtime.
  • Avoid Cross-Contamination - Other wear-protection methods use a cavity, which can retain product and lead to contamination between runs.
