Mining & Quarrying Equipment Repair & Protection Solutions

UNIQUE POLYMER SYSTEMS offers specialized metal and rubber repair composites, coatings, and linings designed for the repair and protection of equipment within the mining and quarrying industry. Our extensive range of polymeric metal and rubber repair composites has been utilized for decades, delivering exceptional protection against erosion, corrosion, abrasion, and chemical aggression in highly demanding environments. UPS provides cost-effective solutions that reduce downtime and labour costs, eliminating the need for equipment replacement.

Solids Handling Equipment Restoration and Protection:

Equipment handling solids undergoes substantial wear due to the nature of processed materials. UPS provides a variety of metal and rubber repair materials for the repair and protection of screw conveyors, conveyor belts, and drive rollers. Our ceramic-reinforced epoxy composites, like UPS 200 EG CERAMIC REPAIR PASTE rebuild damaged screw conveyors, offering long-term abrasion resistance. UPS RUBBER REPAIR MASTERIALS, including UPS 365 RR RUBBER REPAIR 60, facilitate flexible repairs for worn conveyor belts and heavy-duty tires without requiring hot vulcanization or disassembly. Additionally, slip reduction systems, such as UPS 368 RF RUBBER FLUID 80 , eliminate belt slippage and protect drive rollers from abrasion and corrosion.

Abrasion Damage Repair and Protection:

UPS’s abrasion-resistant linings effectively repair and safeguard pipe elbows, chutes, and hoppers, significantly reducing abrasion effects. UPS 519 HD HEAVY DUTY CERAMIC serves as a sacrificial lining, providing substantial time and cost savings. For impact protection, materials from the UPS Heavy Duty Ceramic range create a sacrificial lining against impact damage. These tough, flexible, and fast-curing materials offer a swift alternative to replacement.

Fluid and Gas Handling Equipment Repair and Protection

UPS restores severely damaged pumps, including liquid vacuum and centrifugal pumps, protecting them against erosion, corrosion, chemical attack, and deterioration. Cold-curing materials like UPS 105 EG THISTLEBOND METAL REPAIR PASTE pump cracks and holes in situ, while UPS 200 EG CERAMIC REPAIR PASTE provides exceptional chemical resistance. UPS coatings, such as UPS 205 FG FLUID GRADE CERAMIC ensure long-term erosion and corrosion resistance. UPS 210 CR EFFICIECNY FLUID CERAMIC is proven to enhance pump efficiency, particularly on refurbished equipment.

Protection from Chemical Attack

UPS epoxy repair composites and coatings deliver outstanding chemical resistance for equipment like chemical storage tanks and leach tanks. Coatings such as UPS 407 EN EPOXY NOVOLAC are ideal for protecting secondary containment areas from contaminated chemicals, and UPS 405 EPC EPOXY PROTECTIVE COATING excels in safeguarding equipment operating under continuous immersion.

Chocking and Shimming Solutions

Frequent misalignment due to impact and vibration in the mining and quarrying industry can lead to efficiency loss and equipment damage. UPS 105 EG THISTLEBOND METAL REPAIR PASTE is suitable for loose bearing pins, bush housings, and incorrectly fitting components. For even surfaces, UPS 783 PS POURABLE SILICONE POLYMER, a pourable chocking compound, evenly spreads across irregular surfaces, providing maximum support to plant and equipment once cured.

Facilities Maintenance

UPS materials offer a cost-effective solution to maintenance challenges by minimizing downtime, labour, and equipment replacement costs while optimizing efficiency and reliability. Solutions include

Liquid-applied, flexible roof membrane for weatherproofing buildings, structures, and insulation.

Concrete and stonework repair and protection systems.

Environmental barrier polymers to protect against and reduce environmental impact.

Safety surfacing polymers for reducing slip hazards.
