elastoWear-Urethane Wear Panels

The elastoWear-Urethane panels offer exceptional abrasion resistance, excellent impact absorption, noise reduction, and good resistance to corrosion and chemicals. They are ideal for handling wet or sticky bulk materials thanks to low coefficient of friction formulations that reduce adhesion and material buildup.

What Are the Advantages of Polyurethane Wear Panels?

  • Abrasion and Impact-Resistant Elastomer with reduced weight for easier handling and installation.
  • Reduced Adhesion and Buildup: Low-friction options maintain material flow under dry, wet, or cold conditions.
  • Noise Reduction and Corrosion Protection of the steel substrate.
  • Typical Thickness: 1/2″ to 4″ (depending on application).
  • Special Options: Anti-static, High Temperature.

Products & Applications

  • Bolt-On Fastening: Modular plates or sheets; recommended for hoppers, discharge chutes, feed boxes, and troughs.
  • Weldable (Steel Support / Stud Welding): No shell perforation; continuous protection; common on chutes, trucks/bins, distribution heads, and transfer points.
  • Flexible Weldable: Malleable tiles for hard-to-reach areas; quick snap-on installation.
  • Adhesive-Bonded (with Adhesive): Smooth internal surface (reduced adhesion); joints and perimeters sealed with RTV per procedure.‍
  • PU Sheets/Plates: For spouts, hoppers/silos, chutes/ducts, troughs, elbows, cyclones (<4000 fpm), deflector plates, and truck beds.

FAQ — Polyurethane Wear Panels

Generally 1/2″ to 4″ depending on impact energy, velocity, and target stiffness; we confirm after analyzing your process data.
Bolting is versatile and fully removable. Welding uses a steel backing and stud welds — no shell perforation; common in aggregate applications.
Malleable tiles that conform to geometry; quick snap-on installation for hard-to-reach areas.
Smooth interior surface; follow appropriate surface preparation and select adhesive based on temperature/chemistry. Seal joints/perimeters with RTV.
Yes, especially with low-friction compounds that reduce adhesion and buildup.
