Impact and sliding wear are constant challenges when handling abrasive and corrosive materials, but Thejo Engineering’s RHINOCER-HD liners are changing the game.
Moulded with rubber or polyurethane, RHINOCER-HD impact- and wear-resistant ceramic liners offer heightened performance, extended lifespan, enhanced safety, and numerous environmental, social and governance (ESG) benefits.
Usage and application
Impact- and wear-resistant ceramic liners find wide applications across various industries, including mining, mineral processing, cement production, power generation and steel manufacturing.
They are used to line chutes, hoppers, conveyor systems, transfer points and other high-wear zones where bulk materials flow or encounter impact. These liners provide a high level of protection against abrasive and high-impact forces, helping to ensure extended equipment life and reduced maintenance downtime.
Mining is no doubt a demanding industry, but the wear resistance of RHINOCER-HD liners allows them to withstand even the most rugged operating conditions, ensuring prolonged service life and reduced replacement costs.
Combining ceramic tiles with rubber or polyurethane provides heightened impact resistance, absorbing and dissipating impact energy, preventing material degradation, and minimising the risk of equipment damage.
RHINOCER-HD liners are designed to last, with the ceramic block ensuring that five surfaces of ceramic elements are well bonded with the polymer, further ensuring a good chemical bond that allows the wear panel to stay intact through the entire lifespan.
The liners are also significantly lighter when compared to traditional steel liners, reducing equipment strain and enabling safe and easy installation and maintenance.
Holding the entire wear matrix in position, the steel back plate on the RHINOCER-HD liners ensures mining operations aren’t plagued by unnecessary replacements from cracking or breaking.
