OIL SANDS

In 1990, S.P.R.S. initiated the first large scale application for tungsten carbide hardsurfaced parts, in cooperation with site engineers. The project addressed at the time was to develop abrasion resistant discs for belt cleaners. S.P.R.S. suggested applying TECHNOSPHERE® as tungsten carbide overlay and also suggested a specific pattern. The results were so outstanding that it lead to the full deployment of pulley cleaners over the entire industry.

Many other applications within the oil sands industry have been successfully developed since, in close cooperation with site engineers and operators.

One of the key factors of success has been the judicious choice of TECHNODUR® and TECHNOSPHERE® as tungsten carbide hardsurfacing products, and the analysis of the specific wear pattern of the application considered.
