Weir Minerals, a world-renowned mining transportation wear-resistant spare parts company, has recently completed the development of a new modular anti-wear plate, which can reduce the wear caused by high impacts in ore transportation, thanks to the use of wear-resistant materials.
The company's Linard brand rubber conveyor structure introduced composite ceramic (92% alumina) and other inlaid spare parts effectively increased the wear life of contact panels such as chute, hopper, chassis, etc., which is significantly better than the Teflon wear resistance generally used in the industry board. After replacing Teflon in the chute of two quarries operated by Boral in Australia, the wear life increased by about 10 times, reducing the downtime caused by wear by 90%.
Spare parts for composite ceramic wear-resistant modules developed by Weir Minerals
Self-toughened alumina wear-resistant ceramics have grown rapidly in the fields of wear-resistant ceramic tiles and pipeline transportation in recent years. The new wear-resistant conveying products developed by Weir Minerals undoubtedly set off a technological upgrade revolution in the mining conveying industry. It is believed that alumina wear-resistant ceramics will soon become popular in this industry.
