METHOD FOR RECONDITIONING A COMPACTOR WHEEL

[Category : - OTHER]
[Viewed 47 times]

A method for reconditioning a compactor wheel of a compaction machine is provided. The method includes mounting a compactor wheel on a positioning system configured to provide one or more of angular adjustment, vertical and horizontal translation, and rotation of the compactor wheel, so as to position the compactor wheel in a desired position. The method also includes providing a welding system configured to perform a submerged arc strip welding or weld cladding operation on the compactor wheel. The submerged arc strip welding or weld cladding operation is performed on at least one surface or edge of the compactor wheel to add weldable material thereto, so as to recondition the at least one surface or edge of the compactor wheel.
This method allows for new cleat replacement without having to replace worn or damage outer drums. The weld surface also provides an outer surface that wears 2.5 times longer than standard A36 steel common material type used for rebuilding landfill and soil compactor wheels. Soil compactor wheels can be resurfaced in between the soil pads without having to mount, weld abrasion resistant steel bands. Again, surface wear life is much longer than material used to repair worn cleaner bar areas.
Cost savings on average compared to removal of old worn drums, cutting plate, rolling plates to form outer drums, labor and time consumed, then rewelding new outer drums to wheel bodies is 1/3 typical and standard wheel rebuilding cost practices common within the wheel rebuilding industry. Resale profit margins are much greater on all rebuild exchange wheel types.
