Benefits to our process include:

 

  • Prevent abrasion and repair chutes in crusher house
  • Prevent abrasion to pipes, walls and pulverizer cones
  • Repair worn fan shafts
  • Repair and prevent cavitation in cooling water pumps
  • Lining crusher plates and crusher plant conveyor belt repair
  • Protect pump and heat exchanges from erosion and corrosion
  • Protect and repair ash handling equipment

General Equipment & Infrastructure


General Equipment

With extremely hard reinforcement fillers, Loctite® Polymer Composite products have excellent wear resistance and superior adhesion. They are designed for specific service conditions to protect and extend the service life of a wide range of plant and equipment. The advantage of using these products is they act as a sacrificial and renewable working surface, protecting the structural integrity of the original substrate. AVI offers a complete suite of Polymer Composite made by Loctite® that will treat and protect your assets against the harshest industrial environments.

 

Infastructure

Cracked floors, damaged loading docks, redundant repairs on HVAC systems and pneumatics. All of these contribute to downtime and increased operating costs. The bottom line and cost reductions are very important to Facility and Contract Maintenance professionals.  Through the use of Loctite® Solutions, our technicians can stop costly leaks, prevent equipment failure and permanently repair equipment.




Waste Water Treatment

AVI offers a wide range of high-quality Henkel Loctite applications formulated to help wastewater industry plants repair and extend the life of equipment and protect mechanical and civil assets.






  • Repair and prevent corrosion of grit chamber paddles
  • Prevent pump wear and increase pump efficiency
  • Seal and repair clarifier expansion joints -Extend life and prevent corrosion of chemical containment areas
  • Protect and rebuild pumps and valves
  • Protect and rebuild concrete structures and foundations from severe corrosion  Seal and Repair Expansion joints

 



Petrochemical

Minimize the occurrence of corrosion and unnecessary maintenance due to the harsh environments that equipment must withstand.

 

The tough environment in chemical production and handling contributes to a variety of maintenance issues.  A loose fastener, worn pump or leaky gasket can lead to downtime and costly cleanup.  Utilize AVI's surface engineering experience in harsh environments to:

 

  •     Protect and coat chemical containment areas
  •     Protect and rebuild valuable pumps and parts
  •     Prevent damage from corrosion and costly fluid and air leaks
  •     Protect tanks and vessels from Corrosion / Erosion
  •     Protect and rebuild pumps , valves and Heat Exchanger
  •     Protect Pipes and Structures from Erosion / Corrosion
