In the aggregates industry, high-value assets like crushers and screens often receive the most attention. However, some frequently overlooked components, such as chutes and the materials used to protect them, can bring an entire plant to a halt if neglected. Enter Trellex® wear resistant rubber sheeting, the unseen hero that not only improves efficiency but also reduces costs, minimizes downtime and improves the working environment.
Renowned quality proven worldwide
For over six decades, Metso has gained considerable, worldwide experience not only in the use of wear resistant rubber but also in how to consistently produce the highest quality sheeting offerings, without ever being tempted to reduce the cost of compounds by introducing less than top-grade ingredients. Let’s explore how Trellex rubber sheeting can positively impact key aspects of aggregate operations.
Hassle-free setup – optimized efficiency
Compared to steel, rubber is much lighter, making it easier to handle. Not really rocket science, right? But the benefits of Trellex sheeting go beyond its lighter weight. Trellex sheeting excels in fastening options, as it can be clamped, bolted, or nailed into position. Additionally, there are options with tear-off fabric and contact layers that allow it to be easily glued in place. This ease of installation simplifies the job for site personnel and contributes to a more efficient workflow. By reducing the physical strain and time required for installation, workers can focus on other critical tasks, enhancing overall productivity.
Improved working environment
Let us talk a bit more about the daily lives of the workers and the challenges they face, such as noise pollution for example. This is a common issue in industrial environments, affecting safety, stress and productivity in the long run. Rubber sheeting helps mitigate this problem by significantly reducing noise levels. For instance, at the feed end of a primary chute, Trellex rubber sheeting can reduce sound levels by up to 20 decibels compared to steel linings.* This noise reduction protects workers’ hearing and enhances communication and overall workplace safety.
Fewer stops
In many installations, Trellex rubber sheeting has demonstrated a significantly longer lifespan than other wear materials, such as steel. As a result, the lining does not need to be replaced as often, nor do the components it protects. The benefits quickly become noticeable – fewer stops and reduced production losses, leading to significant cost savings.
Reduced costs
Wear costs money, often lots of money. It is unavoidable in any industrial activity. A safe way of increasing profits is to lower the costs associated with component, liner or sheeting replacement. Wear and tear are inevitable in any industrial setting, often leading to significant expenses. Trellex sheeting offers a cost-effective solution. Its shock-absorbing characteristics allow it to withstand high crushing loads and resist corrosion, extending the life of wear components and making it a reliable choice for various applications.
In summary, Metso’s Trellex wear resistant sheeting offers a proven solution to increase operational efficiency, reduce costs, and improve the working environment. Its durability, ease of installation, and superior performance make it a reliable choice for industries worldwide.
