Cleveland Potash use rotary washers in their manufacturing process and these in turn use lots of water. Potash is highly corrosive so these rotary washers are specifically designed to withstand the highly corrosive nature of the process. For us this just means applying our specialist rotating equipment knowledge as normal, but using equipment made of different materials such as Corten in this case. Another area we work in is that of rotary driers.

These often have more complex internals that move the feed stock around, but again our years of experience gives our customers the peace of mind that when we finish our job they are left with reliable efficient equipment. Celanese Acetate Celanese Acetate manufacture cigarette filters which are made from acetate flake and this involves using both rotary washers and rotary driers in the manufacturing process. However, as this process also involves the use of a lot of acid they are always in need of repair. The equipment is generally hard to work on as they are usually in hard to reach places, inside a building making access extremely difficult. We recommend that regular surveys are carried out on these items of equipment to highlight any work that needs doing to prevent breakdown of equipment and subsequently loss of production time and loss of income.
