Mining and Quarrying

Belzona’s polymeric metal and rubber repair composites, along with durable protective coatings and linings, have been trusted in the mining industry for decades. These materials deliver exceptional protection against erosion, corrosion, abrasion, and chemical attack, even in the harshest environments. By offering cost-effective, long-lasting solutions, Belzona helps reduce downtime, labour, and costly equipment replacement.

Mining equipment such as screw conveyors, conveyor belts, and drive rollers face constant wear and tear from heavy materials. Belzona provides repair and protection solutions including:

Metal repair composites: Belzona 1811 (Ceramic Carbide) rebuilds worn screw conveyors and provides long-lasting abrasion resistance.

Rubber repair materials: Products like Belzona 2111 (D&A Hi-Build Elastomer) and Belzona 2311 (SR Elastomer) repair conveyor belts and heavy-duty tyres without the need for hot vulcanisation or disassembly.

Slip reduction systems: Belzona 1821 (Fluid Metal) helps eliminate belt slippage and protects drive rollers from abrasion and corrosion.

Abrasion-resistant linings: Belzona 1812 (Ceramic Carbide FP) offers a sacrificial lining to protect pipe elbows, chutes, and hoppers, saving time and costs.

Impact protection: Tough, flexible materials from the 2000 Series provide fast-curing, sacrificial linings to guard against impact damage, enabling quicker repairs compared to replacements.

Mining pumps and mechanical components require reliable repair and protection solutions:

Pump restoration: Cold-curing composites like Belzona 1212 repair cracks and holes on liquid vacuum and centrifugal pumps in situ.

Erosion and corrosion protection: Coatings such as Belzona 1321 (Ceramic S-Metal) provide long-term resistance, while Belzona 1341 (Supermetalglide) improves pump efficiency by up to 20% on refurbished equipment.

Mechanical repairs: Belzona 1131 (Bearing Metal) reduces friction in shafts and bearings by retaining lubrication; fast-curing materials like Belzona 1212 enable emergency repairs to bearing housings.

Chemical resistance: Epoxy coatings such as Belzona 4311 (Magma CR1) protect chemical storage tanks and leach tanks from harsh substances; Belzona 5811 (Immersion Grade) is ideal for equipment under continuous immersion.

Chocking and shimming: To prevent misalignment caused by vibration and impact, Belzona 1111 (Super Metal) secures loose parts, while pourable Belzona 7111 evenly supports irregular surfaces once cured, enhancing stability and equipment lifespan.
