Loader Bucket Wear Liners: The Secret to 5X Longer Life
Every mining and aggregate operation has multiple front end loaders moving material non-stop.
From the hardest granite to sand or snow, loaders are transferring hundreds of tons of material daily.
With the destroyed bottom removed, here you can see the structural support ribs. The heel pads are mounted at the back and below the support ribs. The bottom of the external wear plates, called heel pads, carry the entire weight of the bucket and the load. This results in non-stop, high stress grinding and gouging abrasion.
Untrained operators often attempt to also use the bucket as a hammer, attempting to bash larger rock into smaller rocks, resulting in caved in bucket bottoms. This reduces bucket volume and prematurely destroys the bucket structure.
Bucket Bottoms Are Usually Made From ASTM A514 steel, or commodity AR400 steel. Often the OEMs will use the lowest cost steel available.
Just As Work Gloves Protect Your Hands, Liners Protect Your Bucket From Abrasion And Impact Wear
Installing formed CHROMEWELD 600 ™ wear plates inside the bucket, extends your equipment life more than four times over the commodity AR500 steel typically used for liners.
One of North America’s largest iron ore mines found their CHROMEWELD 600 ™ heel plates LASTED FIVE TIMES LONGER THAN AR500 WEAR PLATE OVER THE SAME PERIOD.
