Erosion & Abrasion

Chute, hopper and transfer-point abrasion lining

Sliding bulk material wears through chutes, hoppers, silos, and mill liners faster than any replacement cycle can keep up with.

The problem

What is failing

Bulk material sliding through chutes, hoppers, silos, and over mill liners grinds the steel thinner with every load. The wear outpaces any plate replacement cycle, so crews end up cutting and welding fresh plate again and again. Each changeout means downtime, hot-work permits, and rising maintenance spend.

Our method

How AAS does it

AAS prepares the worn surface and applies a cold-cure ceramic-filled lining sized to the particle and the flow angle, in the field or in our shop. The Belzona 1800 series matches the lining grade to whether the wear is fine sliding abrasion or coarse impact. No hot work, and the lining recoats inside the scheduled maintenance window.

Typically applied with Belzona 1811, Belzona 1321, Belzona 1812, matched to the service conditions.

The result

The chute or hopper goes back into service with a sacrificial wear face that extends plate life and turns a weld-and-replace cycle into a quick recoat.
