Rubber Wear Panel (rubber wear liners)

Superior Impact Protection & Noise Reduction, Our premium rubber wear plates are engineered to shield critical equipment—chutes, hoppers, rock boxes, transfer points, and conveyors—from destructive impact and abrasion. Unlike rigid steel, our high-resilience rubber matrix absorbs kinetic energy, significantly reducing plant noise levels and eliminating corrosion.

Industrial rubber wear liner designed for high impact and abrasion resistance. Available in bolt-on, bondable, or magnetic fastening options to protect chutes, hoppers, and conveyors against wear and noise.

Key Advantages of Rubber Wear Panels

  • Impact Energy Absorption: The elastomeric matrix acts as a cushion, dampening impact to decrease peak stress and protect the underlying structural substrate from damage.
  • Chemical & Oil Resistance: Offers moderate resistance to oils and fuels (specialized compounds available for aggressive chemical environments).
  • Corrosion Immunity: Unlike steel, rubber does not rust. On the flow side, it creates a waterproof seal that protects the carrier plate, effectively stopping the corrosion-erosion cycle.
  • Noise & Vibration Damping: Significantly lowers decibel levels, creating a safer, more comfortable work environment (HSE Compliant).
  • Lightweight & Easy Handling: Much lighter than steel liners, simplifying installation—especially in confined spaces or when working at heights without heavy lifting gear.
  • Rapid Maintenance: Designed for speed. Modular panels allow for localized replacement, while Magnetic versions enable express "snap-on/snap-off" interventions.

Custom Anchoring & Fastening Configurations

Optimize equipment longevity with reliable fastening solutions tailored to your specific industrial application.

  • Bolt-On Systems Allows for precise "panel-by-panel" replacement with controlled torque specifications. This is a durable solution ideal for high-stress areas, surrounding openings, and wear sleeves where targeted maintenance is required.
  • Bondable (Glue-On) Creates a smooth, continuous interior surface to minimize material build-up (hang-up) and maximize flow efficiency. Requires no drilling or shell penetration. We select specific adhesives based on your operating temperature, chemical environment, and process conditions.
  • Magnetic-Backed (Quick-Change) The ultimate solution for speed. Allows for ultra-fast installation, removal, and repositioning. Ideal for short shutdowns, zones requiring frequent structural inspections, and hard-to-access areas where welding is prohibited.
  • Other Fastening Options We engineer the attachment to fit your geometry and mechanical constraints: Stud-Weld: (Nelson Studs) for a smooth face. Spot / Plug-Weld: For direct structural attachment. Clamp-In Systems: For skirtboards. Molded T-Bolts: (Standard for Canoe Liners). Pre-Kitted Sets: Numbered and mapped for easy installation.

Elastomont Bolt-In Wear Plates: The Ultimate Impact Barrier

Our heavy-duty rubber wear plates are engineered to shield critical equipment—chutes, hoppers, rock boxes, transfer points, and conveyors—against destructive impact and abrasion. Beyond physical protection, they significantly reduce noise levels and eliminate corrosion. We specialize in custom manufacturing with versatile mounting options—including Bolt-on, Bondable, and Magnetic—to ensure simplified installation and maintenance.

Elastomer Compounds & Performance Grades

Material Selection Strategy We engineer our material selection to ensure superior chemical resistance, abrasion protection, and maximum service life in the most demanding industrial environments.

  • Standard Base: Premium NR/SBR Blend (Natural Rubber / Styrene-Butadiene) for general abrasion and impact. Custom Formulations: Specialized compounds available upon request (e.g., NBR, EPDM, Neoprene). Selection Criteria: We tailor the formulation based on your specific operating conditions: pH levels, presence of oils/solvents, temperature range, abrasion type, and moisture content.

Technical Finishes & Custom Configuration

Total Adaptability for Your Installation We offer complete customization of thicknesses, formats, and surface finishes to meet the exact requirements of your specific application.

  • Wear Surface Options: Available in Smooth (standard flow), Textured (fabric finish), or Low-Friction (to promote material flow).
  • Thickness Range: From 1/2″ to 5″ (approx. 12mm to 127mm). Thickness is selected based on impact energy, material velocity, and required structural rigidity.
  • Standard Sizes: Stock sizes include 12″×12″, 16″×18″, 24″×24″, and 24″×48″.
  • Unlimited Customization: Custom Shapes: Available on request. No limits on geometry or complexity.Custom Fabrication: We manufacture complex shapes including angles, radii, diameters, and specific cut-outs.

FAQ — Rubber Wear Liners

The choice depends on your maintenance strategy and the nature of the wear. Bolt-in : is the "Maintenance-First" standard, offering robust mechanical security and easy removal for replacement.
Stud-weld (Blind Bolt) : features threaded studs welded to the back, providing a 100% smooth wear face with no visible bolt heads—perfect for sliding abrasion to prevent premature wear at fastening points.
Bondable (Glue-on) : is ideal for surfaces where drilling is impossible or to ensure a seamless flow without obstruction.
Elastomont is a local manufacturer based on the North Shore of Montreal, strategically positioned to serve heavy industries in Sorel-Tracy, the South Shore, and the Greater Montreal area. Unlike distributors who rely on imports, we mold our products in-house, ensuring superior quality control and rapid response times for our local clients.
Yes. We manufacture custom-molded Canoe Liners and conveyor skirting systems designed to seal transfer points. We can integrate mounting rails for T-Bolts or engineer specific attachment profiles compatible with standard mining conveyor setups used in Val-d'Or and the North Shore regions.
Black Rubber (Elasto-60) is formulated to withstand severe impact and gouging from sharp rocks or primary crushed ore; it is the robust choice for heavy-duty zones. Red Rubber (Elasto-40) is a premium high-resilience natural rubber, ideal for resisting fine particle abrasion (sand, slurry) and for sealing applications, similar to "Linatex" style rubber.
Absolutely. We have extensive logistics experience supplying the mining hubs of Val-d'Or, Rouyn-Noranda, and Sept-Îles/Fermont. We understand the critical nature of mining shutdowns and offer "Rush" manufacturing and shipping options to ensure your parts arrive before the scheduled outage.
Unlike steel, which is rigid and prone to cracking under heavy shock, rubber acts as a cushion that absorbs kinetic energy. Additionally, rubber is immune to rust (eliminating the corrosion-erosion cycle) and drastically reduces impact noise, creating a safer work environment.
To receive an accurate quote quickly, please provide the Dimensions (Length × Width or a sketch), the Application (type of material handled, e.g., 4-inch crushed stone, sand, ore), the desired Fastening Method (Bolt-in, Studs, or Bondable), and the Current Issue you are trying to solve (impact damage, excessive noise, or rapid wear).
For highly wet or submerged environments, we primarily recommend mechanical fastening (Bolt-in or Stud-weld) for maximum security. However, for damp slurry applications, we can supply specific cold-bonding adhesives and primers designed to resist moisture, provided the surface preparation is performed correctly.
Thanks to our local manufacturing facility in Quebec, our standard lead time for custom orders is typically 2 to 3 weeks, which is significantly faster than waiting for imports. We also maintain a stock of standard rubber sheets for immediate pickup or delivery in the Montreal area.
Installing Elastomont rubber liners typically results in a noise reduction of 50% to 75% compared to steel-on-steel impact. This significant drop in decibel levels often helps our clients meet strict Health & Safety (HSE) compliance standards regarding worker noise exposure.
