A large Australian gold mine has turned to REMA TIP TOP to significantly increase performance and service life.
The previous surface protection at wear hotspots in the cyclone and elbow pipe no longer met the increased demands regarding the service life of the linings.
REMA TIP TOP installed wear protection lining called REMA PERFORMANCE LINE /CN, which is specialised for high mechanical loads.

PERFORMANCE LINE/CN was used for the new lining of the elbow pipe of a feed circuit, especially for applications in wet environments. In both cases, a 10 mm rubber lining was applied using the Remabond adhesive system from REMA TIP TOP for optimum adhesion under extreme conditions.
“With PERFORMANCE LINE products by REMA TIP TOP, the service life of the new linings was extended by up to 20 per cent, significantly increasing the service life of the plant,” REMA TIP TOP group general manager, Ben Gatzlaff said.
Following the installation, the service life of the lining in the cyclone was extended from two to two and a half years. The service life of the surface protection in the elbow pipe of the feed circuit was also significantly increased from previously three months.
