Combating mass produced, often plastic, parts being added into key components
Combating mass produced, often plastic, parts being added into key components A significant issue that has been challenging within the rail industry is the introduction of mass-produced, often plastic, parts being added into key components. Although this can save the manufacturer on costs, it can cause the lifetime of the products to decrease. This is…
THE HIDDEN DANGER OF LIGHT WEIGHT JOISTS IN FLOOR AND CEILING CONSTRUCTIONS, AND HOW TO PROTECT AGAINST IT.
History Over the past 20 years the use of light weight joists has grown dramatically in the construction industry, they are now used in many timber supported floor ceiling constructions. Whilst the use of light weight joists can offer huge advantages over solid timber joists; low weight, longer spans and access for services, they can…
Using Ferobide within the Mining and Construction industry can increase the life of wear parts and reduce maintenance
Tenmat are leading the way by developing a more long lasting and easy to use wear part, Ferobide. Ferobide is a weldable tungsten carbide composite, which is one of the most wear resistant materials in the world, it is already trusted globally as a reliable solution for minimising equipment downtime, reducing costs by preventing wearpart…
Case Study: The weldable abrasive wear solution for Sugar Cane Mills
For years, severe abrasive wear present in sugar mills have resulted in costly repairs and lengthy maintenance standstills. Two areas where this is particularly apparent are; Shredder grates (the metal casing used around the rotating hammers which crush the cane) and on the Elevator Rake Pads, which are highlighted later on in this article. A…
Case Study: Anchored Sea Based Wind Power Turbines
Material FEROFORM T814 Overview Tenmats distribution partner in Spain – Sintemar – conducted materials tests with various end users to determine which materials were best suited for this application. Tests revealed that Tenmat’s Ferform T814 performed the best. Real Life Testing A first prototype version of the system will be built in general dimensions scaled…
Learn more about Tenmat’s Hot Gas Filter range, which can work in temperatures up 10 1000°C
Here at Tenmat we manufacture a wide range of hot gas filter elements, which are designed to remove particulates, heavy metals, furans, nitrogen oxides, acids and dioxins from gasses at temperatures and efficiencies higher than those achievable with a conventional system. We can achieve this due to our unique non-ceramic refractory materials and inorganic bonds,…
Sowing the seeds of disaster
Fitting the correctly tested and proven “loft covers” to downlights makes simple sense in both energy efficiency and safety terms, the common ad hoc use of “upside down plant pots” has been shown to be highly dangerous, Rupert Coggon of Tenmat Ltd discusses the dilemma. Recessed halogen downlights create large amounts of heat energy which…
Tenmat is pleased to announce the extension of their range of ultra-strong composite materials for vanes, the Feroform F44, designed for high vacuum oil sealed pumps
Feroform F44 is a specialist formulation which uses an abrasion-resistant glass fibre to reinforce a temperature resistant phenolic resin, this provides a better vacuum generation from the pump and a more stable vacuum level. Feroform F44 vanes are suitable for use in high-speed, oil-flooded, vacuum pumps, and is considered to be future proofed for the…
