# Gravity lining

Gravity is the most vulnerable part of the equipment of elevators and transmission systems of bulk agricultural products. Under the action of the grain passing under pressure at high speed, the bottoms of such pipelines wear out quickly. The result of stopped work, the enterprise suffers losses. Plant Timol offers a reliable and economical solution to the problem - the lining of gravity.

## What is the lining

The term refers to the coating of metal pipes with a protective layer on the inside. This helps extend the life of equipment to facilitate the process of grain processing.

To carry out the lining of their course in several ways:

- by installing a polyurethane insert in pipe and fittings;
- using the sheet material;
- resorting to the combination of sheets and liquid raw materials.
- If necessary, our specialists can make repairs to the damaged equipment on the spot.

Performed emergency orders can produce non-standard samples according to customer's drawings.

**Why polyurethane**

This composite material has become popular due to its unique properties: long life without loss of quality of products (compared to steel is 5 times higher), resistant to abrasion, withstands super high and extremely low temperatures.

The lining will protect the polyurethane against moisture, prevent formation of dust deposits on the walls will improve sound insulation, will help preserve the integrity of the grain (passing through metal pipes, it is crushed and spoiled).

Synthetic material does not contain any harmful constituents, therefore, absolutely safe, which is very important when it comes to products used for human food. Internal processing runs will significantly increase their period of work without breakdowns.

A definite plus is the low cost of this elastomer. Want to run without losses and downtime, to avoid serious damages and financial losses - choose the lining of the gravity of the polyurethane. You are guaranteed:

- rhythmic work of technical equipment;
- the lack of pipes congestion and vaults;
- protection from corrosion.
- To understand which treatment methods will help a summary of the processes.

### The use of sheet material

Because gravity pipes basically wears out the lower part with the inside, easy to fix position using a sheet of polyurethane.

The method is very simple and will have to spend lots of money on correcting the issue: sheet with polyurethane glue (working with two-component) is securely attached to the surface.

This technology of strengthening of pipes ensures high reliability of adhesion. The sheet does not come unstuck, do not "wiggle" in the process of feed grain, does not warp from exposure to different temperature regimes.

Works well method in combination with liquid polyurethane. Suitable for use on new equipment and has already visited the scrapes. In addition to the bottoms will "patch" fittings, pipes, elbows, valves or flaps.

Combined technology lining polyurethane is used for "patching holes" in bins, boxes, conveyors, etc.

### How is the lining panels

Repair of gravity pipes can be replaced with inserts. The technique is simple. The essence of the installation inside the course of steel finished tubes of polyurethane. Additional pipe strengthens the equipment the entire circumference. In addition to the pipes used inserts for turning systems, pipes, connecting elements.

The shape can be round or rectangular depending on the needs of the customer.

The lining on this method is very fast introduced into the pipe insertion flange side of the kernels, the output remains cut with a knife. Just a few minutes, and production ready. Slide, fortified with polyurethane, will serve much longer than a new steel and will significantly increase the impact and improve the safety, freeing employees from Intrusive noise, eliminating the risk of explosion.

**Hot adhesion**

The technology is suitable for elevators located directly in ports and similar locations of large volumes of agricultural products.

The essence of the technology lies in the fact that the above-mentioned inserts are mounted inside of the slide with hot adhesion. Obtained was an ultra-reliable connection capable of withstanding a long service cycle.

## To work with "Thymol" is profitable!

For relining the gravity in Ukraine use high quality polyurethane brands manufacturers in the world. Our suppliers are companies from Germany, great Britain, Australia, France, Italy. The plant in the river you can buy ready-made items or order his drawings. As work directly with the manufacturer - the prices will not frighten you.
