MINING & EARTHMOVING APPLICATIONS

Engineered hardfacing solutions for the most challenging wear environments.

The processes at most mines involve a wide spectrum of impact, abrasion, erosion, adhesion and corrosion that require engineered hardfacing solutions for effective wear protection. The equipment being affected ranges from large earth excavators to crushers to conveyors to pumps and valves. Mining operations extract mineral raw materials on a truly impressive scale in terms of quantities and material stresses. Moreover, they must handle the increasingly problematic overburden, which as waste material has no value but represents a major factor in the wear of plant components.

Plant maintenance personnel are constantly working to resolve issues with equipment that no longer works as efficiently as it should, or has broken down and must be replaced. With the increased economic pressures impacting the mining industry in recent years, mining operations must plan a more sustainable approach to more efficient operations with an eye towards reduced maintenance expenditures whenever possible. Hardcarb offers a suite of powerful engineered hardfacing solutions in all areas of mining and earthmoving activities. Following are a few examples where Hardcarb anti-wear solutions are regularly offered:

  • Heavy-duty opencast mining equipment: buckets, conveyor belts, shovel loaders, discharge chutes, material slides.

  • Mining equipment – surface excavators, earth-moving machines, bucket chain excavators, stackers, front loaders, loader shovels, dragline bucket liners etc.

  • Conveyors – screw feeders, material slides, linings of chain conveyors, sides and scrapers of belt conveyors.

  • Crushing & screening – crusher body liners, hammers, hopper liners, chute liners, screening deck plates, vibro-feeders, cone crushers, breaker plates.

Since Hardcarb is a 360o solution provider with a comprehensive portfolio of wear protection products, we are not limited to just one solution while providing engineered hardfacing solutions for the mining industry. This enables us to carry out an unbiased examination, and to propose designs for your plant components and assemblies which offer the ideal techno-economically optimized solution.
