Alumina
Cost-effective liner material for moderate abrasion.
Material detailsIND 07
Construction
Wear parts for mixing, conveying and handling equipment working in dust and aggregate.
Construction duty is abrasive and unforgiving, and the parts are usually hard to reach. That changes the economics: a part that lasts longer is worth more than a part that is cheap, because the cost is in the shutdown.
We usually start from the changeout problem — how often the part is replaced and how difficult that is — before choosing between lining, clamping or bolting.

Material systems we start from
What we would propose first
A starting point, not a specification. The grade is confirmed against your equipment, the geometry and the duty.
Silicon carbide
Hard aggregate at speed, where liners wear through fastest.
Material detailsZirconia
Transfer points where the load arrives as impact rather than sliding.
Material detailsWhat decides the choice
The four conditions we ask about
- Aggregate type, size and moisture
- Impact load at transfer points
- Dust, weather and the working environment
- How the part is accessed and replaced
