Industrial Conveyor Rollers: Mining Facility, Poland

20th May 2025

Industry: Mining
Location: Poland
Application: Industrial Conveyor Rollers
Products: 202 Ceramic Repair Fluid

The Challenge

At a mining facility, industrial conveyor rollers had developed a smooth, worn surface over time. This led to belt slippage, inconsistent movement, and reduced handling efficiency, a critical issue in an industry where equipment performance directly impacts productivity. The client required a robust, anti-slip solution that could be applied quickly during scheduled maintenance to avoid extended downtime.

The Solution

The industrial conveyor rollers first received mechanical surface preparation using a needle gun to create a coarse, textured profile. This ensured strong adhesion for the protective layer. A brush applied coating of 202 Ceramic Repair Fluid was then applied to achieve a wet film thickness of 500 microns.

While the coating was still wet, aluminium oxide aggregate was broadcast liberally across the surface to create a highly textured anti-slip finish. To ensure full and even coverage, the roller was rotated throughout the application process. After full cure, it was rotated again and the excess aggregate was removed, leaving a rough, high traction surface ready for service.

Results & Benefits

Anti-slip surface restored reliable grip under continuous load
Abrasion resistant finish suited to high wear mining conditions
Inspected after 12 months of use with no recoating required
Quick cure allowed return to service within planned maintenance window
Improved conveyor safety by reducing belt slippage incidents
Provided a repeatable, low disruption repair method for future maintenance
By carrying out the repair on-site the client avoided costly component swaps and unplanned production stoppages
