* cheaper material than the original rubber-lined,
painted mild steel
* stronger
* lighter material therefore lighter components including
rake arms
* cheaper operation because a smaller motor and gearbox
and less electrical power to operate
* minimised maintenance
CCD Tanks in LDX2101 stainless steel give :
- a better technical result
- a first off cost saving
- a running cost saving

DID You know?
STRESS CORROSION CRACKING is one of several types of corrosion which may occur in stainless steel under certain circumstance - and which, in some cases, can be prevented or minimised
It occurs mainly in austenitic stainless steels and not in ferritic or duplexes.
It needs three simultaneous conditions to occur:
- Stress (from fabrication)
- Chlorides of any concentration
- Temperature 50°C or higher
NDE’s technical team offers advice on grade selection and design criteria to ensure the successful application of stainless steels, preventing corrosion and optimising performance.
