Durch die Fertigung der das Füllgut führenden bzw. mit diesem in Berührung stehenden Elemente aus dem Material hoher Güte und der das Füllgut nicht führenden Elemente des Rotors aus dem Material geringerer Güte ergeben sich u.a. erhebliche Einsparungen hinsichtlich der Herstellungskosten. Da sichergestellt ist, dass Elemente aus dem Material geringerer Güte nicht mit dem Füllgut in Berührung kommen, sind u.a. auch Korrosionsprobleme, wie z. B. Lochfraß wirksam verhindert.By the production of the filling material leading or in contact with these elements of the material of high quality and the non-leading elements of the rotor made of the material of lower quality u.a. significant savings in terms of manufacturing costs. Since it is ensured that elements made of the material of lesser quality do not come into contact with the contents, u.a. also corrosion problems, such. B. Pitting effectively prevented.
