The mining and quarrying industry exposes machinery and equipment to some of the most destructive forces, including abrasion, corrosion, wear, impact, and chemical attack.
Belzona’s high-performance and innovative solutions are engineered for the repair and protection of assets across multiple industries. These solutions have a proven record of minimizing downtime and reducing maintenance costs.
Rapid-Curing Elastomers for Rubber Repair
Rubber components, such as those on conveyor belts and off-road tires, are vulnerable to tearing, ripping, and splitting due to abrasive materials in mining operations.
While rubber is durable, flexible, and absorbs vibration, sharp materials can still penetrate it, causing tears and splits.
Belzona’s cold-cure polyurethane materials provide a reliable solution for in-situ rubber repair without the need for hot work. The rapid cure times of these elastomers make them ideal for emergency repairs.
Chemical-Resistant Systems for Rebuilding and Coating
Mineral processing involves aggressive chemicals such as flocculants and coagulants, which accelerate corrosion and the deterioration of concrete and steel structures.
Belzona’s 4000 Series epoxy repair composites and chemical-resistant coatings protect mining assets against acids and alkalis, even at elevated temperatures.
High-Performance Coatings for Pump Efficiency
Pumps are subjected to constant wear from slurries and subsoil water in mining operations. Traditional welding can introduce heat stress and galvanic corrosion risks to pump components.
Belzona’s cold-curing coating systems provide a safer, faster alternative. Belzona 1341 (Supermetalglide) uses advanced hydrophobic technology to repel process fluids and reduce turbulence, improving pump efficiency by up to 7% on new equipment and up to 20% on refurbished units.
Resistance to Severe Abrasion and Wear
Mining and quarrying equipment, such as chutes and hoppers, suffer abrasion and wear from excavated materials of varying sizes, resulting in cracks, holes, and wall thickness loss.
Belzona’s ceramic-filled composites, combined with Belzona 9811 Alumina tile sheets, create a hard-wearing lining that significantly increases service life. These cold-applied linings require no specialist tools, making them safe and easy to install, even in confined spaces.
Composite Materials for Metal Part Restoration
Belzona 1000 Series paste-grade materials are designed for rebuilding damaged surfaces on metallic substrates, even in wet or immersed conditions. Belzona coating-grade systems protect assets against corrosive media and environmental attack, extending the operational life of critical equipment.
