For large contracts eg. bridges where hundreds of tonnes of Void Filler are used and there are often severe operational constraints, it is normal for Winn & Coales (Denso) Ltd to liaise closely with the Engineers at the design stage to establish equipment specifications and then tender for the design and manufacture of the equipment to do the job. Typically this would involve heated storage tanks and specialised pumping equipment. For example, for one contract we supplied a number of 8 tonne portable tanks which were used to transport the product hot in liquid form. Each tank is insulated and has its own internal heating coil which is coupled to a separate heat exchanger unit which maintained the product temperature to 120°C.
The tanks are fitted with a mixer to maintain uniform temperature. We have also supplied self contained pump assemblies with pressure, temperature and flow measuring facility, capable of pumping 40m3 per hour to pressures of up to 12 bar. |
