Our knowledge, materials, consumables, processes, and equipment allow restoration of the geometry of air flow rings and dam rings, returning them back to their original dimensions. The results are measurable through improved efficiency of the mill and extended wear life of the components.

Our industry-leading solutions combat harsh wear, caused by abrasion on critical parts of machinery, during the brick manufacturing process.

Welding Alloys makes the impossible possible with a proven method that doesn’t require gouging the ceramic rolls before rebuilding.

Classifiers and cones fabricated from Welding Alloys wear plates, provide advanced wear protection to resist the effects of abrasion and erosion caused by the materials they process. Our linings, produced from chromium and complex carbide materials, are highly effective in increasing the service life of equipment and to combat the effects of abrasion and erosion.

Our Welding Alloys wear plates are proven to offer wear resistance of 300% or more when compared to standard abrasion resistant steel plates, typically used for cyclone separators.

At Welding Alloys, we can successfully protect and improve the wear resistance of fan impellers and casings across various industries. We offer standard and customised solutions for fans, fan blades, fan casings, and related equipment to protect against wear caused by factors such as corrosion, abrasion and erosion.

We refurbish used parts and also fabricate brand new parts, using our composite wear plates. Our range of solutions include anti-clogging products for the protection of components against harsh environments within which they operate.

A lower wear rate is directly proportional to longer component life. There are very few areas where this is more evident than with crushers and mills. More than 30 years’ experience in the crushing and milling industries, provided Welding Alloys with the knowledge, equipment, and products that deliver optimised solutions. Customers benefit from increased component service lifetime and protection against various mechanisms of wear that keep their crusher crushing for longer.

This complete turnkey solution is available through our network of worldwide Integra™ Service Centres. RPMaxLife not only extends the life of your roller press, but also reduces downtime and total cost of ownership typically associated with intermittent repairs, break-outs, and base material fatigue.

The maintenance of rotary kilns through regular inspections can prevent plant shutdowns and long-term issues. Through decades of experience, we are able to apply our knowledge and the use of advanced welding consumables, for the efficient repair of rotary kilns.

The outer housing and rotas that make up the rotary valves, are exposed to wear from the movement of materials through the chamber. Our solution extends the lifetime of production equipment by up to 300% when compared to replacement of the body shell or the rotator.

We supply hot sinter screen lines manufactured using our wear plates, in a wide range of designs and grades according to your specific working conditions.

We provide a vast range of pipe and tube solutions that include the design and manufacture of parts using the widest range of wear resistant materials on the market.

At Welding Alloys, we developed our Vertical Roller Mill (VRM) know-how over decades, supported by our range of advanced consumables, and the successful delivery of numerous vertical roller mill projects worldwide. Our services reach some of the remotest parts of earth, from scorching deserts to sub-zero environments, providing us with vast and unique knowledge of these mills. Our solutions ensure optimised VRM performance of the mills, from their grinding components, to dealing with their unique repair requirements. Our data shows that our solutions are effective in delivering lower maintenance costs, decreased total mill energy consumption, and lower total cost of ownership (TCO).

Our wear plates are produced using specially developed Welding Alloys cored wires, which offer exceptional resistance to abrasive wear and impact, as well as high quality consistency and homogeneity of the deposit. This is achieved through our quality control processes, specifically designed equipment, advanced consumables, and processes driven by a passion to develop solutions that outperform the global standard.
