Problem: Abrasion, Erosion, Weight and Ergonomic Risk
Four-foot steel extension chutes widely used on ready mix concrete trucks weigh approximately 50 lbs. Drivers risk injury on the job from lifting the heavy steel chutes, resulting in a risk of profit loss and additional insurance costs for truck owners.
Aluminum extension chutes weighing approximately 30 lbs are an alternative that can reduce driver injury risks. However, aluminum chutes wear faster than heavier steel chutes and require frequent replacement.
Solution: NanoSteel Thermal Spray Coating
A mixer truck in Ohio was equipped with aluminum chutes to evaluate wear from abrasion and erosion caused by sliding concrete during service. A NanoSteel SHS 7170 TWAS thermal spray coating was applied to a thickness of 0.335 - 0.394 (8.5 - 10 mm) on one chute, which added approximately 2 lbs to the total weight. |

Result: NanoSteel Thermal Spray Coating Extends Component Life
Since the aluminum chute will still be at its original thickness when the NanoSteel SHS 7170 TWAS coating wears off, it can be recoated and placed back in service without any loss to its original thickness. An aluminum extension chute can last almost indefinitely with repeated NanoSteel thermal spray coatings. |
