Project Title

Hopper Liner at Elgin Street Sweeper

In order for a person to be dapoxetine price uae addicted to any form of drugs, they will have to be exposed to the drug many times, which will ultimately cause their brains to develop a craving for the drug. In rare instances, prednisone may Anūppur prednisolone acetate price be used for more than three weeks. In the first trimester, when mites begin laying eggs, dosing regimens and routes of administration may need to be adjusted for optimal efficacy.

This is the essence of free-enterprise capitalism and the difference between the drug store and the drug manufacturer is that the drug manufacturer may not set the prices of the drug it sells and that it may not sell them to more than a single pharmacy or hospital. Dapoxetine is available in tamoxifen price Zawiercie the us under the brand name dutoxetin and is marketed in canada under the brand name venlafaxine. I've been on prednisone 5 mg a week for the past month, with a slight increase.

Project Scope

Lining of interior street sweeper hopper for corrosion and wear protection.

Owner

Elgin – A Federal Signal Company

Date Completed

1991 to present

Hoppers Wearing Thin. LifeLiner™ Guarantees Protection for Life.

Faced with extreme wear and corrosion in the interior hoppers of their street sweepers, Elgin sought a solution.

LifeLast was able to create a high-wear, chemical resistant lining system that protected the customer’s investment and Elgin’s position as the technological industry leader.

Elgin has produced industry leading street sweepers at their production facility in Elgin, Illinois since 1914. Faced with corrosion issues in the hoppers, in 1999 Elgin approached LifeLast for a solution and a custom urethane was formulated to solve the problem. The relationship was built on problem solving and a shared interest in developing leading edge technology. While the urethane system provided excellent corrosion protection, the industry demanded more durability in the air and mechanical sweeper hoppers; the manufacturers sought solutions and Elgin again leaned on LifeLast.

Instead of installing stainless steel, like the competition, Elgin looked to build on their success with spray applied liners and offer something that worked better and saved the end user money. After understanding the need, LifeLast formulated a high-wear corrosion protection system, The DuraGard TSX and brought it to Elgin for testing. The test compared a ¼” sample of bare stainless steel to a ¼” A36 steel sample coated with 300 mils of DuraGard TSX. A blast nozzle was used with 70 grit aluminum oxide (one of the most abrasive blast media) to replicate the hopper environment. The time to completely wear through each sample was charted and the TSX coated steel sample was found to be six times more durable than the stainless steel sample.

The system, adopted as Elgin’s LifeLiner™, proved so successful that Elgin has been offering a lifetime warranty on the hopper liner since 2006. Elgin continues to look for uses for the LifeLiner in wear areas of their sweepers and recently employed it in the fan housing in-lieu of rubber.

Instead of following industry trends, Elgin looked to create a new solution, through innovation. The partnership between LifeLast and Elgin works because both companies view challenges similarly. Elgin realized they needed a solution provider and LifeLast works very hard to fill that role. By listening to the customer, LifeLast was able to understand the need and work towards providing a unique solution. 

“As the Project Engineering Manager at Elgin Sweeper, I am fortunate to be involved in much of the innovation that Elgin brings to our street sweepers and the marketplace. I can proudly say that working with LifeLast to develop and implement the LifeLiner system has been one of my greatest accomplishments thus far.”
