How WA solved the challenge

Dimensional survey and drawing of the housing were performed, as the client did not have them. Shielding was applied using HardPlate 100 (6+4) to the entire housing envelope, and rotor blades were fabricated from HardPlate 100 (6+4). The intake port was also constructed using HardPlate 100 (6+4).

Technical Advantages

A complete solution was achieved by first conducting a dimensional survey of the fan housing and subsequently creating a drawing. Bimetallic plates were then applied to the wear areas, quadrupling the lifespan of the housing and preventing fire hazards caused by the inclusion of wood in worn areas and subsequent ignition.
