Case Study
Ferralium 255 – Fluid-Quip Disc Nozzle Centrifuge
Fluid-Quip design and supply capital equipment for the pulp, paper and corn wet milling industries, with a particular focus on mills, strainers and centrifuges. Corn milling is a wet-process, so the presence of water often combined with SO2 from the steeping process stage provides a corrosion risk. However, this is combined with a greater challenge of erosion and abrasion from the movement of the slurry through each stage. Selecting metals that combine good corrosion resistance with exceptional erosion corrosion resistance is critical. Throughout in the hub, bowl and cover where the process conditions are most challenging Ferralium 255 is used & has performed successfully in this application for more than 20 years.
