Solids Handling Machinery

• Sliding-abrasion wear on screw flights, conveyor troughs, and chute liners.
• Slurry erosion on pump volutes, impellers, and discharge elbows.
• Impact-and-abrasion combined wear at hopper outlets and feed points.
• Cyclone-cone thinning from solids spiraling against the wall.
• Cutter and breaker bar wear on size-reduction equipment.
• Bearing-housing and casing corrosion from washdown and process condensate.

Wear-lining selection is a service-class call

The right wear material is the one that matches the actual wear mechanism. Sliding fines call for ceramic-filled epoxy. Wet slurry with impact calls for elastomeric polyurethane. Pure impact calls for rubber-lining. Belzona's portfolio covers each class so the same applicator can handle a mixed plant scope.

Belzona product families used on solids-handling assets

Ceramic-filled wear linings

Belzona 1811 (Ceramic Carbide), Belzona 1812 (Ceramic Carbide FP), and Belzona 1813 (Ceramic Z) are silicon-carbide and aluminum-oxide-filled epoxy linings designed for high-abrasion sliding-flow service. Trowel- or spray-applied at specified dry film thickness over manually prepared carbon steel.

Elastomeric and rubber-lining systems

Belzona 2111 (D&A Hi-Build Elastomer), Belzona 2131 (D&A Fluid Elastomer), and Belzona 2141 (WG Fluid Elastomer) cover the impact-and-abrasion duty cycle on slurry pumps, transfer points, and discharge elbows. They cure cold, bond to manually prepared steel, and accept inspection at the next planned outage.

Metal-loss rebuild

Where the underlying steel has lost meaningful wall thickness, Belzona 1111 / 1311 rebuilds the substrate back to design profile before the wear topcoat. This separates the structural duty from the wear-lining duty and avoids the lining breaking up over a deformed substrate.

Outage-aligned recoat

Industrial Maintenance Solutions sizes the wear-lining film thickness against the actual abrasion rate so the lining reaches its end-of-life on the same calendar as the next planned outage. The result is a predictable wear program rather than reactive lining replacement on a forced outage.
