The Weir Minerals Modular Wear System is created using panels made from Linathane® polyurethane or Linard® HD60 and a variety of materials ideal for each individual application, including Ultrachrome® white iron and ceramics.
Linard® HD60 is a natural/synthetic rubber blend specifically designed to exhibit exceptional toughness without compromising natural elasticity. This rubber is ideally suited for the aqueous applications involving aggregates, in which sliding abrasion is the major concern. Panels made from Linard® HD60 can be embedded with Weir Minerals’ Ultrachrome® white iron, developed to manage high lump abrasion for superior impact protection.
Linathane® polyurethane panels are designed for high abrasion and impact where ore hang-ups to highly sticky clay are common. Linathane® panels are non-friction and are manufactured with a wear indicator, signaling when the panels are 75% worn.
Our modular wear system is engineered for superior wear life and ease of maintenance. Panels are secured with a universal plug system, allowing each panel to be removed individually. This reduces confined-space events on site for increased safety and lowers total ownership cost by decreasing maintenance downtime, increasing wear life and eliminating the need for total lining change-out for individual wear areas.
