Mining & Quarrying Industry

Solids-handling equipment takes continuous wear from the material it moves. Belzona 1811 (Ceramic Carbide) rebuilds damaged screw conveyors and gives them long-term abrasion resistance, while flexible rubber grades — Belzona 2111 (D&A Hi-Build Elastomer) and Belzona 2311 (SR Elastomer) — repair worn conveyor belts and heavy-duty tyres in place, without hot vulcanisation or disassembly. Belzona 1821 (Fluid Metal) adds a slip-reduction surface that eliminates belt slippage and protects drive rollers from abrasion and corrosion.

Abrasion-resistant linings repair and protect pipe elbows, chutes, and hoppers by giving up a sacrificial layer instead of the parent metal. Belzona 1812 (Ceramic Carbide FP) is specified into high-wear transfer points for the time and cost it saves against constant plate replacement. Where impact rather than sliding wear dominates, tough, fast-curing materials from the Belzona 2000 Series provide a flexible sacrificial lining that turns a repair around quickly.

Centrifugal and vacuum pumps in mining duty combine erosion, corrosion, and chemical attack. Belzona 1212 makes cold-cure, in-situ repairs to pump cracks and holes; Belzona 1311 (Ceramic R-Metal) rebuilds the casing and impeller with chemical resistance, and Belzona 1321 (Ceramic S-Metal) restores the smooth, erosion-resistant running face. On refurbished pumps, Belzona 1341 (Supermetalglide) is proven to improve efficiency — up to 7% on new equipment and up to 20% on refurbished equipment.

Heavy machinery loses tolerance to bearing wear, vibration, and lubrication loss. Belzona 1131 (Bearing Metal) reduces start-up friction by trapping and holding lubricating oil, and Belzona 1212 makes the fast-cure emergency repairs that get a bearing housing back in service. For misaligned machinery, loose bearing pins, and poorly fitting components, Belzona 1111 (Super Metal) rebuilds to specification and Belzona 7111 pours as a chocking compound that spreads evenly across irregular surfaces to fully support plant and equipment.

Process chemistry attacks chemical storage tanks, leach tanks, and their secondary containment. Belzona 4311 (Magma CR1) protects containment areas against contaminated and acidic media, while Belzona 5811 (Immersion Grade) protects equipment operating under continuous immersion. The same coatings restore pump bases and volutes exposed to sulphuric-acid service.
