Optimize your maintenance operations with our advanced Wear Protection Solutions

Mining equipment faces some of the toughest conditions on earth – abrasive ore, heavy impact forces, and corrosive environments. These factors lead to rapid wear and frequent breakdowns, causing costly unplanned downtime and operational headaches. Skilled labor shortage adds further challenges as the welding operation is in general quite time-consuming, labor intensive operation and skilled labor is essential for smooth operations.

Harsh operating environments demand components with superior wear protection. Otherwise, companies will struggle with unexpected downtime and soaring repair costs.

We support our customers with:

  • Hardfacing and surfacing welding consumables engineered for extreme wear. Our long history and knowledge in material science provide you with ideal wear protection meeting your material requirements
  • Advanced welding techniques and automation solutions for efficient repairs
  • Training and technical support to empower your team

Tunneling Construction Site

We support you in extending the lifetime of your mining equipment and keep your operation running.

In mining, critical components like crushers, mill heads, shovel dippers, bucket teeth, drill bits, dragline excavators, rope drums, and wheel loaders are exposed to severe abrasion, impact, and corrosion. Wear reduces efficiency, shortens service life, and drives up maintenance costs.

Applying wear-resistant weld overlays is the most effective way to extend equipment life and reduce downtime.
