Wear Plates

These high-hardness wear plates protect inlets, curves, discharge sections, and other areas of equipment from premature wear due to high-impact contact with abrasive materials traveling at high velocities. They are suitable for processes that handle glass-filled plastic resins, ceramic particles, mineral aggregates, abrasive grains, and other powdered, granular, or viscous materials. Plates made of stainless steel, Stellite alloys, or polytetrafluoroethylene (Teflon) are available to help extend the service life of the fabricated metal equipment while accommodating a wide range of abrasive materials. They are available on the firm’s entire line of vibrating fluid-bed dryers and coolers, screeners, plastic-pellet classifiers, vibratory conveyors, and other process equipment, and although they are custom-designed for each machine, they may also be designed for retrofit on existing machinery. The plates can be removed and replaced without significant process downtime.
