Wear-resistant solutions for concrete plants & aggregates
BMI develops, manufactures and improves the reliability of parts and solutions that protect equipment subject to wear in concrete batching plants, precast plants and aggregate installations.
OUR WEAR PROTECTION EXPERTISE
A WIDE RANGE OF WEAR-RESISTANT MATERIALS
BMI selects and combines different solutions according to the wear mechanisms encountered: Raex® abrasion-resistant steels, ABRA-FACE / ABRA-GLIDE overlay plates, ABRA-STEEL NX stainless steel, CERAFLEX coating and hardfacing materials.
Hardness, alloy and design are adapted to the areas actually exposed to wear.
AN INTEGRATED INDUSTRIAL FACILITY
Cutting, boilermaking, machining, hardfacing and parts manufacturing: BMI carries out the main production steps in-house.
An industrial facility designed to ensure short lead times, responsiveness and the manufacture of custom wear parts for concrete plants.
EXPERTISE IN HARDFACING MATERIALS
BMI develops and masters its own hardfacing solutions: HiChrome cored wires, FlexCarb cords and wear protection processes.
Hardfacing makes it possible to repair and regenerate parts, as a cost-effective alternative to solid tungsten carbide parts and cast iron parts.
EXPERTISE FROM THE FIELD TO ENGINEERING
Field sales engineers, materials and machine specialists are involved from wear analysis through to parts manufacturing. On-site measurements, materials advice, optimisation of critical areas.
The goal: extend the service life of parts and improve plant availability.
To address the different wear mechanisms: abrasion, impact, erosion, corrosion or clogging, BMI implements different technical solutions:
– Raex® abrasion-resistant steels
– ABRA-FACE, overlay plates for areas exposed to severe abrasion
– ABRA-GLIDE, smooth-surface overlay plates against clogging
– ABRA-STEEL NX, for environments combining abrasion and corrosion
– CERAFLEX, sprayable elastomer protection
– Hardfacing cored wires: a range adapted to each type of wear (abrasion, impact, erosion, clogging…)
– FlexCarb flexible cords based on tungsten carbides, for areas exposed to very severe abrasion
WEAR PARTS
FOR CONCRETE PLANTS
BMI manufactures, regenerates and improves the reliability of wear parts for equipment used in concrete batching plants and aggregate installations.
Mixer blades and paddles, floor liners, side scrapers, hoppers, concrete recycling screws and other components can be manufactured to drawing, reverse-engineered on site or improved according to the constraints encountered on site.
MIXER BLADES
BMI manufactures, protects and regenerates your mixer blades with wear-resistant hardfacing solutions adapted to your operating conditions.
Depending on the wear conditions and the blade geometry, BMI adapts the process, the filler material and the distribution of the hardfacing:
– Resistance to shocks and impacts
– No risk of detachment
– Blade that can be regenerated and repaired by hardfacing
– Cost-effective alternative to solid tungsten carbide and cast iron
