INNOVATION

SPOKANE INDUSTRIES, the industry leader in high quality, high chrome iron impact crusher wear parts, has developed a line of wear parts for use in material handling applications using Si-Tec®, their patented Ceramic Composite Technology.

Si-Tec® ceramic composites provide twice the wear life of standard parts in most applications which means:

·       Reduced liner costs per ton of rock processed

·       Fewer liner change-outs and interruptions

·       Quicker replacement

·       Safety - Reduced exposure to injuries associated with liner replacements

Spokane Industries has been an integral player in the crushed rock industry with their Spokane Crusher line, their extensive crusher wear parts line and their innovations in ceramic composite technology. With more than a decade of successful ceramic composite integration in impact crusher wear parts, Spokane Industries is leveraging this success with a burgeoning line of material handling wear parts.

ULTRA WEAR-RESISTANCE

One such success story involves their large Si-Tec® chute liners which are utilized in the world’s largest gold mine. These large liners are specifically designed for a snug fit in curved chutes. The dense copper/gold ore flowing across their liners is 8 inch minus and moves at a rate of 80,000 tpd. As this river of rock enters the transfer point, it slams into a rock box and then drops down into the chute which redirects the flow onto the next conveyor. Unlike the previously utilized high chrome iron liners, the Si-Tec® liners are fortified with highly abrasion resistant ceramic to better resist wear. Initial trials yielded relative wear life of 1.9x that of the high chrome iron liners. As high chrome iron liners are replaced, Si-Tec® liners are installed.

Mine maintenance personnel were so impressed with the longevity of Si-Tec® liners that they requested designs to address both high and medium wear areas of the chutes. Although the liners were designed and manufactured halfway around the world, Spokane Industries' Engineering and Development teams replicated the actual chute to verify and ensure a close fit of the liners within the fabricated chute (see image above). This proactive effort is typical of Spokane Industries’ approach to solving problems with cast composite technology.
