Chronos Richardson provides cost-effective upgrade and refurbishment solutions, which can be implemented with minimum impact on current operations. The recent refurbishment of a Richard Simon Weigh-Belt feeder illustrates what can be achieved. This Weigh-Belt feeder was previously surplus to requirements and when originally removed from its fertiliser blending operation it had not been cleaned down. Congealed product had jammed most of the belt drive mechanisms and had started to rot away some of the electrical control boxes. Despite being in a poor condition a survey revealed that the structural framework and major components were in a good condition and, it was suitable and economically viable for refurbishment. The unit was carefully stripped down and those structural items to be reused were shot blasted and re-sprayed. Once this work had been completed the feeder was reassembled. Where appropriate new parts were incorporated into the rebuild, this included: belt, scrapers, bearings, springs, loadcell, terminal boxes and wiring. Once the feeder had been reassembled it was retested and recalibrated prior to dispatch back to the customer.
