Situation
Hopper bottom trailers are used primarily to transport fertilizer and grain. The hoppers are exposed to:
- Rust damage from the salt used in Northern climates.
- Highly corrosive fertilizer dust.
- Road rash from travel on gravel roads.
Procedure
During LINE-X® prep and application, all moving mechanisms are carefully protected so they don’t interfere with the control system. After masking, a thorough cleaning is performed. On new equipment, LINE-X agricultural coating is applied right over the paint. For used equipment, the cleaning process includes sand blasting and removal of any pre-existing corrosion, loose paint, etc. Cleaned substrates are then primed. LINE-X XS-100 is applied using high pressure impingement Application equipment, followed by topcoat. Unit is then unmasked and is ready to go. Full cure is complete in 24
hours.
Extremely quick set-up time (2-3 seconds) allows LINE-X protective coating to be sprayed at any angle without any resulting drips, runs or sags. Colour can be matched to any colour.
Solution
LINE-X can be applied to interior and exterior hopper surfaces providing a durable long-term solution to issues of corrosion and abrasion.
Results
Whether protecting a new hopper trailer or upgrading what you have—with LINE-X you can expect a durable, maintenance free, good looking finish.
