Magog Industries have announced their latest range in coatings and materials, designed to further enhance longer life and greater resistance in demanding processing where increased proportions of recycled material is used.
“We constantly strive to offer solutions from optimal design to reduce wear to offering a wide range of surface technologies, explained John Allsop, director and general manager. “We design everything in-house but also work closely with specialist partners to meet our customers’ specific processing and production requirements”.
Thin Dense Chrome (TDC) is used to enhance wear with low friction and is FDA Approved. Ceramic Seal coatings reduce porosity and increase plating/coating life four to 10 times longer in corrosive environments.
In addition, HVOF (High Velocity Oxygen Fuel) that is thermally sprayed applied provides a crack-free 98% density with hardness of 62 to 72 HRC. This scratch-resistant coating, earlier demonstrated at Interplas has gained much interest among plastics moulders.
Further enhanced specifications for barrels include Hot Isostatic Pressing (HIP) to reduce porosity and increase the density of the barrel surface and can be used as an alternative to Hastelloy or Incoloy when processing, for example using PTFE or Fluoropolymer material.
“We’ve been focussing on looking at measures, particularly surface treatment for abrasion and potential corrosion to increase resilience and longevity specifically in ceramic and chrome seal coatings for demanding applications such as blown film extrusion.” John explained.
