Shaft Repair

Shafts become worn and damaged due to vibration, rubbing, abrasive contaminants and corrosion. Where it is impractical to strip a shaft, Belzona metallic polymers can repair in-situ without the risks that result from welding procedures. Worn and damaged shafts can be repaired in situ, limiting the downtime and lost production costs which can be incurred.
