Food Processing Equipment Multi-Media Abraser Employed to Reduce System Component Wear in Food Processing Equipment Application: A large scale producer of sugar cane wanted to determine which materials in their process were causing erosion of system components due to the abrasive action of the entrained particulate matter. Analysis: The Taber Industries Multi-Media Abraser was selected as a potential solution to help investigate the causes of erosive wear. Testing using the Multi- Media Abraser involves erosion of three brass pins by a suspension or slurry that passes between the pins and a steel wear plate. The resulting abrasive action wears down the pins relative to the abrasiveness of the entrained particulates. Particulate slurries were created for each material using distilled water
