Conveyor maintenance system

Conveyor maintenance system
Developed in Canada by Magna-Skin Technologies, Inc. the Magna-Patch reusable magnetic patch and theMagna-Plate wear plate fastening system are patented magnetic products designed to provide quick, secure patch solutions in high-wear situations or during breakdowns, in conveyor applications. Magna-Patch is pressure-rated up to 60 psi and provides an extremely quick, secure means of repairing holes in steel pipes, flat back elbows, silos, chutes, hoppers and other steel susceptible to abrasion. The reusable patch system is simply positioned over the worn out area and is securely held in place magnetically until the next scheduled shut down. Magna-Patch is designed to reduce downtime, material cost, material loss and clean-up costs associated with highly abrasive conveying systems. Magna-Plate is an innovative wear plate fastening and replacement system that combines an impact/abrasion resistant material imbedded with powerful magnetic elements. The magnetic elements secure the ferrous wear plate or a steel-backed ceramic wear surface to the Magna-Plate impact/ abrasion resistant surface – providing a quickand simple method of steel/ceramic wear plate fastening and replacement.

Horizon Conveyor Equipment Reply Card #8268Buildings made from shipping containersMade from reused shipping containers, SG Blocks are the building blocks of an engineered system used to construct single-family and multi-family homes, as well as commercial developments. Recycled shipping containers are strong, readily available, quick to assemble and provide an environmentally-friendly alternative for construction. Containers are modified into SG Blocks by cutting out windows and doors. Then, by putting them together in different structural designs, they can be fabricated into a house or building. The structures sit on a regular concrete foundation over a crawl space, basement or slab.

Preliminary testing and actual field experience to date indicates that homes made from recycled shipping containers are hurricane and earthquake resistant, acoustically sound, extremely resistant to weather and energy efficient, and can be easily insulated and finished with any type of skin, including brick and siding.
