Introduction
In industries where machinery is pushed to its limits every day, wear and tear can lead to expensive downtime and reduced efficiency. From mining sites to cement plants and quarry operations, equipment often faces severe abrasion and impact that shorten its lifespan. This is where Duroxite® 100 Plate comes in. Known for its superior wear resistance and long-lasting performance, this plate has become a go-to solution for industries that cannot afford delays and breakdowns.
In this blog, we’ll explore the top industrial applications of Duroxite® 100 Plate in mining, cement, and quarrying—and why it is trusted globally to extend equipment life.
What is Duroxite® 100 Plate?
Duroxite® 100 Plate is a high-quality overlay plate designed for extreme wear conditions. It is produced using a unique overlay welding process that deposits chromium-rich carbide layers on a tough steel base. This combination provides exceptional hardness on the surface while maintaining toughness underneath.
The result? A wear plate that:
-
Resists abrasion in high-wear environments
-
Extends equipment service life
-
Reduces maintenance downtime
-
Improves overall cost-efficiency
Its ability to perform consistently under demanding conditions makes it an ideal choice for industries like mining, cement, and quarrying.
Applications of Duroxite® 100 Plate in Mining
Mining operations are some of the harshest environments for heavy equipment. Continuous handling of ores, rocks, and minerals exposes machinery to extreme abrasion. Using Duroxite® 100 Plate in mining significantly reduces wear, allowing equipment to run longer without constant repairs.
Common mining applications include:
-
Truck beds and dump liners – protecting against impact and abrasive materials.
-
Chutes and hoppers – ensuring smooth flow of bulk materials while resisting wear.
-
Crusher liners – extending the lifespan of crushing equipment.
-
Screens and feeders – reducing downtime in material handling systems.
By incorporating Duroxite® 100 Plate, mining companies can minimize unplanned shutdowns, cut costs on spare parts, and improve overall productivity.
Applications of Duroxite® 100 Plate in Cement Industry
The cement industry is another sector where equipment faces severe wear due to the continuous grinding, crushing, and handling of abrasive raw materials like limestone and clinker. Here, Duroxite® 100 Plate helps plants operate smoothly and efficiently.
Typical uses in cement plants include:
-
Clinker cooler plates – resisting high heat and abrasion during clinker cooling.
-
Separator blades and housings – protecting critical components in separators.
-
Mill internals and fans – extending the service life of grinding and conveying systems.
-
Chutes and silos – reducing material buildup and wear damage.
With Duroxite® 100 Plate, cement manufacturers can extend maintenance intervals, cut replacement costs, and ensure consistent production output.
Applications of Duroxite® 100 Plate in Quarrying
Quarry operations deal with continuous loading, crushing, and transporting of aggregates, which puts immense strain on equipment. Standard steel plates wear out quickly, but Duroxite® 100 Plate offers long-lasting protection.
Key quarry applications include:
-
Jaw crusher liners – reducing downtime caused by frequent liner changes.
-
Screen plates and decks – increasing screening efficiency with less wear.
-
Conveyor buckets and transfer points – preventing costly breakdowns in bulk handling.
-
Loading and unloading equipment – ensuring durability in everyday operations.
For quarry operators, Duroxite® 100 Plate translates into better efficiency, fewer breakdowns, and lower operational costs.
