Hardox® 500 unearths its wear savings for stationary equipment in quarries and mines
In typical quarry or mining operations, wear plates are essential components in stationary equipment. They serve as liners in hoppers, feeders and chutes, as well as hammers in crushers and screens for sorting. All of these applications endure extensive wear from abrasive rocks and ore, leading to frequent replacements and high maintenance costs.A lot of this equipment relies on thick, standard AR steel with a relatively low hardness of around 400 HBW. At SSAB, we’re challenging that convention with Hardox® wear plate in higher hardness levels as a more cost-effective alternative.
