Erosion & Abrasion-Resistant Linings

Sliding bulk material wears through chutes, hoppers, silos, and mill liners faster than any changeout schedule can absorb. We line those surfaces with cold-applied ceramic-filled coatings, drawn from recognized Belzona wear-resistant series, sized to the particle and the flow path. The lining recoats inside your maintenance window. It adds service life to plate that would otherwise be cut out and replaced.

Wear plates and bars tell a second story. They lose thickness to impact and sliding abrasion, then sit loose against a backing that is no longer flat. We rebuild the worn face and bed the plate to full bearing on its backing with cold-cure compounds. The plate carries load evenly across its whole footprint, so it wears down instead of cracking off, and the interval between changeouts stretches out.

Abrasive slurry erodes pump impellers, casings, agitators, and mixer blades. As the vane geometry rounds off, the pump drops off its head curve and the unit burns energy to move less product. We rebuild the eroded vane and casing profile, then overcoat it with an erosion-resistant ceramic layer. The pump returns to its rated profile with no weld distortion pulling the casing out of round.

Fan blades fail on the same logic in a gas stream. Particle-laden air erodes the leading edges, tips, and deflectors. Airflow falls and the rotor goes out of balance over a single campaign. We rebuild the eroded edges with a Belzona metal-repair compound, restore the aerodynamic profile, and overcoat with a ceramic wear layer. The work puts no heat stress on the blade root, so the fix does not introduce the next crack.

Swirling particle-laden gas inside cyclones and separators erodes the cone walls and vortex finders until the plate thins and capture efficiency drops. We line the worn interior with cold-applied erosion-resistant ceramic coatings, and the vessel goes back to service during the outage with no new plate welded in. The cone holds its shape and the separator keeps doing its job.

Cavitation is its own kind of damage. Collapsing vapor bubbles pit turbine runners, propellers, Kort nozzles, and stern tubes, leaving the spongy metal loss that keeps thinning the steel. We line cavitation-prone surfaces with a cold-applied elastomer that absorbs the implosion energy. Where flow-induced metal loss exposes fresh steel that the process chemistry then attacks, on seawater filters, amine systems, impellers, and rudders, we coat the surface with a ceramic-filled product rated for the combined erosion and chemical load. Both failure modes get held back in one cold recoat.

Every one of these repairs finishes in the outage or dry-dock window you already have on the calendar. There is no second shutdown to schedule and no hot work permit to pull. The crew preps the surface, applies the lining cold, and the unit goes back into service on time.

The payoff shows up at the next turnaround. Chutes and hoppers run more campaigns between liners. Pumps and fans hold their rated profile instead of bleeding efficiency. Cyclones, runners, and rudders keep their geometry and keep doing their work. You spend less on replacement steel, less on emergency callouts, and more time with the asset earning. When you do need us off-hours, the 24-hour line is staffed.
