70,000 tonnes of highly corrosive potash salts per year: fine, prone to clumping and hardening, and highly adhesive. For a chemical company operating across Europe, these material properties presented a significant challenge in day-to-day material handling.<\/p>\n
Corrosion and abrasion cause high levels of wear in conventional grab technology. Material build-up makes complete discharge more difficult, increases cleaning requirements and can lead to operational disruptions.<\/p>\n
The challenge for METZEN: to develop a grab solution capable of withstanding these extreme conditions over the long term.<\/strong><\/p>\n The experts at KR\u00d6GER Greifertechnik, a METZEN product brand, analysed the material properties and operating conditions in detail. Working closely with a coating partner, they developed a specially formulated material composition for handling highly corrosive potash salts.<\/p>\n The specialist coating allows even highly adhesive material to slide off reliably. Additional polymer caps protect particularly exposed edges and further increase durability.<\/p>\n The result: the grab operates at full capacity \u2013 with no visible signs of wear.<\/strong><\/p>\n Clean, reliable material handling reduces cleaning requirements and lowers operating and maintenance costs.<\/p>\n The project demonstrates what demanding material applications require: precise analysis, in-depth material expertise and engineering consistently tailored to real operating conditions.<\/p>\n Are you facing similar challenges with corrosive, abrasive or highly adhesive bulk materials?<\/strong><\/p>\n Download our case study to learn more about the customised grab solution.<\/strong><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" 70,000 tonnes of highly corrosive potash salts per year: fine, prone to clumping and hardening, and highly adhesive.
