Machinery rims gold mine – Oaxaca, Mexico
A Mexican gold mining company experienced severe problems on their mining machinery rims used in their underground mines, where high levels of moisture caused corrosion, leading to rapid deterioration.
The mine reported that their machinery's wheels would typically become practically useless within just one month due to corrosion.
To address this issue, a system was proposed, which involved applying a ZINGA system to the rims.
The use of the ZINGA system proved to be a durable and effective solution in combating corrosion and extending the lifespan of the machinery rims.
System:
Surface preparation: sand-blasting to SA 2.5
ZINGA 60 µm DFT
ZINGACERAM HS 120 µm DFT
ZINGACERAM PU 60 µm DFT
