Rotable Wet Mix Box
Rotable Wet Mix Box
Rotable Wet Mix Box
Corrosion Engineering designed and manufactured a complete wet mix box package for a severe duty mining application exposed to impact, sliding abrasion, slurry erosion, and corrosion. The solution included engineered equipment design, steel fabrication, and a high performance ceramic lining system. Corrosion Engineering allows the mine to remove a worn wet mix box for rebuilding while a replacement unit is installed. This rotable approach helps maintain circuit availability, simplifies maintenance planning, and ensures a fully lined replacement unit is ready for the next scheduled changeout.

Challenges
The wet mix box operates in a severe duty environment where impact, abrasion, slurry erosion, and corrosion cause significant wear. Rebuilding the unit in place required extended downtime and created maintenance scheduling challenges. The customer needed a solution that would allow a worn unit to be exchanged quickly and rebuilt offline without unnecessarily delaying production.
