New Mono Coating Provides an Effective Answer to Rotor Abrasion
06 March 2003
Mono Pumps has underlined its position as a leading manufacturer of pumps and pumping solutions with the launch of Duracoat 3000 – a new surface coating that offers significantly increased wear resistance for rotors used in highly abrasive environments.
The pumping of substances such as stone slurry, wastewater from mines and cement slurry grout, places significant demands on the ability of the pump rotor to withstand the abrasive and aggressive nature of this type of material. Duracoat 3000’s impressive performance specifications now bring such benefits as reduced maintenance costs, less downtime and increased reliability to such applications.
Mono undertook an intensive programme of research, testing and development to create Duracoat 3000. Based on a highly resilient modified tungsten carbide coating Duracoat 3000 creates a tough, rugged outer barrier on the rotor surfaces that resists the damaging abrasion caused by the substances being pumped. Well suited to installations where pumps must operate round the clock, Duracoat 3000 is ideal for use in the pulp and paper, mining and mineral extraction industries, along with a wide variety of other wastewater applications.
Duracoat 3000 draws on the extensive experience of all types of pumping requirement which Mono has built up over the past 65 years. It also builds on the success of Duracoat 1000 (which provides highly cost-effective abrasion protection for general industrial uses) and on Duracoat 2000, which provides excellent resistance against the type of fine particle corrosive slurries found in pulp, paper and ceramic manufacturing operations.
Mono and Monoflo are wholly owned by National Oilwell.
