Wear & tear in various forms is part of almost all industrial manufacturing processes – day by day. This cannot be avoided – however with the right tools the situation can be significantly improved.
First step is avoiding simple spare-part exchange. Why - because the same part will suffer the same way! The use of spares is fighting the results only – but not avoiding the real source of the failure, which is the missing resistance! One could say that – regardless of the part – the problem remains the same using spares!
Second step is a principle reinforcement of the part using a synthetic surface treatment to give a superior abrasion resistance – this creating a better long-term performance. Fortunately, this improvement can be realized on new as well as on worn parts!
Erosion / wear protection - to achieve more instead of less Objectives MetaLine surface protection techniques start right here. With the help of intelligent material characteristics and basically different functional methods (e.g. energy absorption), we do not only want to overhaul surfaces, we want to provide components with individual characteristics so that extended life-times can be expected in comparison to conventional spare parts. Dependent on the type of wear impact, two different MetaLine processes (elastomeric/ ceramic) are available. Technical solutions in detail MetaLine Series 700 - self-processable, elastic polyurethane coatings sprayed or poured on solvent-free by means of a novel cartridge processing system. Thanks to its rubber-like characteristics the material becomes enormously resistant against aggressive dynamic effects caused by erosion, cavitation, blows, impact or vibration. Technical solutions in detail MetaLine Series XL - self-processable ceramic repair materials applied manually with the help of a brush or trowel. Due to its metal-like characteristics use on sliding areas and guideways exposed to wear or friction is recommended.
This is where the MetaLine coating techniques kick in. With the help of smart material characteristics and fundamentally different functional methods: Energy absorption instead of energy deflection! Duplicating rubber impact resistances onto any metallic surface shape. Not only restoring worn surfaces, but on top implementing a fully different surface performance. Thus, extending lifetime compared to conventional spares. Dependent on the type of physical impact, two different MetaLine processes (elastomeric/ceramic) are available. MetaLine Series 700 – Self-processable, elastomeic coatings sprayed or casted on via a novel cartridge processing system. Thanks to its rubber-like characteristics, the material becomes enormously resistant against aggressive dynamic effects caused by erosion, cavitation, impact or vibration. MetaLine Series XL – Self-processable epoxy-ceramic repair materials applied manually by brush or trowel. Due to their metal-like characteristics, this technology is more recommendable for frictional or static load caused by linear forces.
