The Western Sydney concrete plant was experiencing continued concrete build-up and rust spots on the agitator bowls of their concrete truck fleet. This build-up was not efficiently being removed by the current chemical in use. The plant were sourcing a replacement product that would work against their high build-up of concrete as well as providing a safer alternative to that of the system implemented for their current chemical – onsite chemical mixing. Eliminating this “mixing” of unsafe chemical would also reduce downtime and exposure. The plant required an alternative which would be safe, efficient and reduce personnel risks associated with such product mixing and handling.
Vital Chemical’s Vital Flo-Chem Thick with Rust Guard was recommended for this plant. The Vital Flo-Chem was supplied in a 1000L IBC (Intermediate Bulk Container) with a 3 Point Isolation Hose attached to the bottom of the IBC opening valve. Vital Flo-Chem Thick with Rust Guard provided efficient and cost-effective results. These results include efficient concrete removal and cleaning, reduced rusting of the truck agitator bowl and chassis, reduced manual handling of the product which is applied neat and cost efficiencies achieved with less product required for each cleaning application. Vital Chemical’s Business Development Manager provided product theory and practical training onsite to all personnel.
The feedback from this Western Sydney concrete plant was that Vital Flo-Chem Thick with Rust Guard demonstrated great cost reduction, anti-corrosive protection, reduced safety hazards for their personnel including reduced vapors exposure and other skin exposure. The plant expressed the remarkable difference which Vital Flo-Chem had made on the cleanliness of the agitator truck bowls and the ease of application of the Vital Flo-Chem Thick with Rust Guard. Vital Chemical’s delivery service was expressed as fast and responsive due to the company’s specialised chemical delivery throughout the Sydney region.
