A major gold leach wet process plant running continuously 24/7 for three years since commissioning recently faced a critical challenge.
Repeated failures of cold-bonded rubber lining had led to serious wear issues, including breakthroughs in the hopper steel skin. With the plant unable to stop, temporary welded steel patches were used to keep operations running.
With the first planned shutdown since installation approaching, the maintenance team had a narrow window to complete a full reline. A traditional cold-bonded rubber strip and reline simply could not be completed in time.
The Magnefast™ ceramic liners were installed with a full day to spare, ensuring the plant returned to operation on schedule. Both the mine’s maintenance team and the installation crew reported excellent results and praised the ease and speed of installation.
This case study shows how Magnefast™ enables operators to maximise uptime, reduce maintenance risk and achieve superior long-term performance especially in high-wear, time-critical environments.
