Mineral processing plants operate under continuous exposure to impact, abrasion, and chemical corrosion. From primary crushing to final filtration, wear components directly influence equipment lifespan, plant uptime, and operating costs. Traditional metal parts often require frequent replacement, resulting in high downtime losses.

Polyurethane (PU) and rubber materials offer an advanced alternative. PU combines exceptional abrasion resistance, high tensile strength, and chemical stability, while rubber provides superior elasticity and impact absorption. Together, they form a complementary system capable of addressing complex wear conditions throughout the entire mineral processing chain.

I. Crushing Stage – Impact Protection

Rubber liners and chute liners protect equipment structures from high-energy ore impact and sliding abrasion. Their cushioning properties reduce structural fatigue and maintenance frequency.

II. Screening Stage – Efficient and Anti-Blinding

PU screen panels withstand high-frequency vibration while resisting clogging and deformation. Rubber panels reduce noise and equipment load. Self-cleaning mesh integrates elastic materials with metal frameworks to prevent aperture blockage and maintain continuous screening performance.

III. Grinding Stage – Stability and Energy Efficiency

Rubber mill liners protect mill shells and reduce vibration and noise. PU lifters enhance grinding media movement and maintain consistent pulp lifting, improving overall grinding efficiency.

IV. Classification Stage – Precision Separation

PU hydrocyclones and critical components such as vortex finders and apex spigots ensure accurate pulp discharge control. Their wear resistance significantly extends service life compared with conventional metal parts.

V. Flotation Stage – Chemical Resistance

Composite PU/rubber impellers and stators withstand chemical reagents and abrasive slurry conditions. Their balanced elasticity and hardness improve pulp agitation while reducing vibration.

VI. Dewatering & Filtration Stage – Quality Assurance

PU dewatering panels resist hydrolysis and abrasion while promoting rapid water removal. Filter cloth and wedge wire systems ensure stable filtration accuracy and extended operational lifespan.

Compatibility and Customization

All wear components are designed for compatibility with major global brands including FLSmidth, and Weir. Precise dimensions allow direct replacement without major structural modification.

Conclusion

By integrating polyurethane and rubber wear solutions across the entire mineral processing workflow, mining plants can reduce downtime, extend equipment life, and improve overall production efficiency while lowering cost per ton.
