In order to analyze the original causes for wear, FLSmidth Rotor weighfeeder Pfister® DRW in
a tribosystem perspective
Pfister engineers scrutinized the root causes of wear by
taking a tribosystem perspective:
Drivers of wear:
• Intensity of usage
Input
Due to the physical and mechanical properties of your • Pneumatic conditions
• Friction factor
pulverized fuels like the tiny grain size mini portions of fuel
residues in and on moving parts of your machine act as wear System boundary Tribosystem of rotor weighfeeder

agents. Additionally, due to the pneumatic extraction of the
Wear part A
pulverized fuel out of the rotor chambers, abrasive effects

can be observed. Overall this leads to two major wear medium

fuels shows three phases:

running-in
1. Running-in phase
2. Stationary wear phase
3. Severe wear phase
wear
During the running-in phase and also after each renewal
of wear parts wear strongly increases. In the stationary
wear phase wear linearly increases on a slower inclination
while during the severe wear phase wear strongly increases.
This may lead to a significant decrease in accuracy or even
a system failure.
