Case Study: Rubber Lining That Lasts

A gold and silver mine in North Queensland was experiencing wear issues with their existing rubber lining across key equipment, including chutes, spools and a cyclone overflow hopper.

The existing lining delivered a service life of approximately 18 months before requiring replacement, creating ongoing maintenance demands and downtime considerations for the site.

The challenge

The customer required a more durable lining solution that could:

  • Transport coarse slurry with minimal wear
  • Extend wear life in high-abrasion areas
  • Reduce maintenance frequency
  • Maintain reliable availability with minimal lead time

The solution

A trial was conducted using REMALine MP 35 in 6mm thickness as a replacement lining material.

Why REMALine 35

  • Safe protection against wear and material build-up with built-in wear indication layer
  • Very wear resistant, particularly for wet use
  • Highly elastic
  • High self-cleaning effect
  • Noise damping; reduces dust formation
  • CN layer improves bond strength significantly

The results

The results of the trial were outstanding:

  • Extended wear life: The previous lining lasted approximately 18 months. REMALine MP 35 has now exceeded 20 months of service and remains in good condition, with usable life still remaining.
  • Improved reliability: Reduced frequency of relining has contributed to lower maintenance intervention and improved operational continuity.
  • Increased adoption: As a result of the successful trial, an additional 64 spools have been lined using REMALine MP 35.
  • Lead time advantage: Availability of stock enabled a fast turnaround, supporting maintenance planning and reducing downtime risk.
