The Challenge
Few environments destroy equipment faster than mining and quarrying, and unplanned failures in remote operations mean costly, extended downtime. Abrasive slurries and bulk solids grind through pump internals, chutes, and hoppers, while impact and corrosion attack everything in the process stream. Wear is relentless and spares are expensive.
Slurry and process pumps, transfer chutes, hoppers, screens, cyclones, mill liners, and heavy structural equipment all face severe sliding abrasion, high-energy impact, and erosion-corrosion. The cost of wear is not just the parts — it is the lost production every time equipment goes down.
Belzona ceramic-reinforced composites and resilient elastomer linings provide sacrificial, easily maintained wear surfaces that dramatically outlast bare steel, while metal repair composites rebuild worn components in place. Rumford Industrial Group applies these systems on-site to keep operations running.
Belzona Solutions for Mining & Quarrying
Fluid and Gas Handling Equipment Repair and Protection
Liquid vacuum and centrifugal pumps suffer cracks, holes, erosion, and corrosion from continuous fluid handling, requiring cold-curing repair materials and chemical-resistant coatings that restore original profiles and improve efficiency by up to 20% on refurbished equipment.
Solids Handling Equipment & Abrasion Protection
Screw conveyors, conveyor belts, drive rollers, pipe elbows, chutes, and hoppers suffer heavy abrasion and impact damage from processed materials, requiring ceramic-reinforced repair composites and sacrificial linings that eliminate the need for hot vulcanization or disassembly.
Protection from Chemical Attack (Storage Tank & Containment)
Chemical storage tanks, leach tanks, and secondary containment areas suffer chemical attack from contaminated substances and continuous immersion, requiring epoxy repair composites and coatings built for long-term chemical resistance.
Chocking and Shimming Solutions
Frequent impact and vibration cause misalignment of machinery, loose bearing pins, and worn bush housings, requiring pourable chocking compounds and precision-fit repair materials that restore support and alignment.
Mechanical Equipment Repair
Shafts, engines, and bearings suffer vibration, wear, and lubrication loss from continuous operation, requiring cold-applied materials that reduce start-up friction and fast-curing solutions for emergency bearing housing repairs.
Building & Structural Maintenance
Site buildings and structures face weather damage, concrete deterioration, and slip hazards, requiring liquid-applied roof membranes, concrete repair systems, environmental barrier coatings, and safety surfacing polymers.
