General mining - Loctite PC 9313
The customer faced a constant challenge—wear liners that simply couldn’t keep up. With abrasive particles wearing them down, each liner lasted just 20 days. Frequent replacements weren’t just inconvenient—they were costly and disruptive to operations. The team knew they needed a more durable solution to break the cycle.
To address the premature failure of wear liners, LOCTITE® PC 9313™ was selected for its high-impact resistance and superior wear durability in abrasive environments.
Application Details:
- Product Used: LOCTITE® PC 9313™ with a base coat of LOCTITE® PC 7227™
- Operating Conditions: Vertical roller mill processing mineral sands at ~30°C
- Application Process:
- Surface preparation and application of LOCTITE® PC 7227™ as a primer
- Followed by 10 mm thick layer of LOCTITE® PC 9313™ applied to the wear surface
This system provided a robust protective coating capable of withstanding the severe abrasion and impact conditions within the mill, significantly extending the operational life of the protected components.
- Reduced Downtime: Extended time between re-linings by 130%, from 20 to 46 days.
- Increased Reliability: Reduced unscheduled downtime and extended MTBF.
