Posted by Daniel Gleeson on 21st July 2021

Polydeck is set to unveil a new line of wear liners at this year’s MINExpo 2021 event in Las Vegas, USA, that, it says, will help extend the life of feed chutes, feed boxes, discharge lips, transfer points or any similar location that needs to be protected without welding or cutting.

The PROTEX line is a natural extension of the Polydeck product offering that can be customised to meet the needs of each operation, according to the company. It will be on show at the event, taking place on September 13-15 at the Las Vegas Convention Center.

“Created as a result of significant research and understanding customer pain points, PROTEX provides high-quality, innovative liners and protectors for your operation,” Polydeck said. “These products are engineered as a simple solution, combating wear and tear of your equipment against future damage for higher cost savings and decreased downtime.”

The PROTEX line includes the following products:

  • PROTEX C (Coating) in two coating options – urethane or rubber lining. PROTEX UC (Urethane Coating) is a fully customisable spray-on product that, Polydeck says, affords advanced protection against abrasive wear and corrosive environments in wet applications. It is designed as a seamless coat of protection to steel and a wide range of objects, including precision area requirements. PROTEX RC (Rubber Coating), meanwhile, is a highly effective rubber bonded to steel, protecting against abrasive and impact wear. “These liners are the easiest, quickest and safest way to help protect feed chutes, feed boxes, discharge lips, transfer points or any similar location that needs to be protected without welding or cutting,” the company says;
  • PROTEX L (Liners) is offered in a variety of material options, including rubber, poly, ceramic, magnetic and canoe liners. Each is built with flexibility and modularity to withstand heavy-duty environments to protect and extend the wear life of your equipment;
  • PROTEX SL (Side Wear Plates) is offered in a variety of material options, including rubber, polyurethane and UHMW, each of which offer benefits to protect and extend the wear life of equipment; and
  • PROTEX P (Protectors) includes PipeTop protectors, angle protectors, cross member protectors and Polyrail Channel Protectors, all of which extend the wear life of equipment.
