Wear-resistant hoppers
BMI designs, manufactures and improves the reliability of your hoppers with wear-resistant materials selected according to the type of wear.
OUR WEAR PROTECTION EXPERTISE
NEW HOPPERS OR WEAR LINERS
BMI manufactures complete hoppers, protected from the design stage, or supplies wear liners for your existing hoppers.
In both cases, each area receives the material suited to its load: impact, sliding or discharge.
MODULAR WEAR LINERS
BMI wear liners are designed as modular plates, defined by a layout plan.
Each plate can be replaced on its own, without dismantling the whole protection.
AN INTEGRATED INDUSTRIAL FACILITY
Cutting, bending, boilermaking, hardfacing and assembly: BMI carries out the main production steps in-house.
An industrial facility designed to manufacture custom hoppers and wear liners with short lead times.
EXPERTISE FROM THE FIELD TO ENGINEERING
On-site surveys, wear area analysis and reverse engineering: BMI wear liners fit the original hopper.
The goal: extend the service life of the hopper and reduce intervention times.
To address the different wear mechanisms: abrasion, impact or clogging, BMI implements different technical solutions:
– Raex® abrasion-resistant steels, for areas combining abrasion and impact
– ABRA-FACE, overlay plates for areas exposed to severe sliding abrasion
– ABRA-GLIDE, smooth-surface overlay plates against clogging
– CERAFLEX, sprayed elastomer coating for applications prone to clogging
MODULAR WEAR LINERS
& LAYOUT PLAN
BMI can design a layout plan for each hopper: cutting into plates, choice of material for each area and marking of each element.
– Modular plates, replaceable one by one
– Materials combined according to the areas
– Marked plates for simple, fast replacement
– Fastening adapted to the installation: bolted or welded
