Webinar: Monitoring chute liner wear in real time

Variability in ore type and changes in liner materials can impact the wear rates of the liners used to protect the inner walls of transfer and feed chutes. As a result, it can be difficult to accurately predict changeout times.

Variability in ore type and changes in liner materials can impact the wear rates of the liners used to protect the inner walls of transfer and feed chutes. As a result, it can be difficult to accurately predict changeout times.

This can lead to excessive maintenance costs if liners are replaced while still in good condition, or damage to equipment if they are not replaced when completely worn.

Regular inspection of the liner condition can improve maintenance planning but often requires the plant to be stopped, which reduces productivity and poses a safety risk for the maintenance personnel who need to enter the chute.
