Our graphite electrode plant in Gauteng relies on Eirich R24 mixers for carbon paste preparation. The material is extremely abrasive, and we were burning through mixing tools faster than we could stock them. This supplier's tungsten carbide armored blades have been a game-changer. They fit the machine perfectly — we didn't have to modify anything. After four months of heavy use, the wear is minimal. We're now sourcing all our wear parts from them.
