Wear coating and panels

Increase availability and uptime with innovative wear lining solutions

Protect against equipment failure with heavy-duty wear lining solutions. Our WEAR MAX ceramic epoxy wear coating for effectively protects against sliding erosion provides 2x the service life of competitor solutions, while our innovative FerroCer and FerroComb wear panels deliver impressive impact resistance, lasting 6x longer than conventional steel lining.

Longer wear life, fewer shutdowns – wear linings from FLS

Protecting against sliding erosion 

WEAR MAX is proven to reduce abrasion wear problems commonly occurring in bulk handling and processing equipment such as pipes, chutes, silos, tanks, and casings. It adheres effectively to most clean and dry surfaces including metal, ceramic, rubber and concrete. WEAR MAX reaches maximum hardness after curing for just 24 hours, based on an ambient temperature of 23°C (73°F), so you can get back to work with little downtime. 

 

Powerful impact resistance 

FerroCer are our composite wear panels, taking the advantages of malleable steel and combining them with the wear resistance of ceramic liners. FerroCer can save you money in all your high impact applications, such as discharge chutes, crushers and hoppers. From the moment FerroCer wear panels are installed, you can reduce maintenance shut-downs, operational downtime and operating costs. This combined with easy installation and affordable pricing means that FerroCer wear panels deliver the lowest total cost of ownership (TCO) on the market. 

 

Advanced wear solutions for all applications 

From pipes to centrifuges, buckets to silos, every surface that is exposed to wear has a solution within the FLS portfolio. For example, our alumina and silicon carbide ceramic lined piping systems extend the life of pipes, valves, nozzles, and more, while our noise-absorbing LUDOLINER® ceramic, alumina and rubber impact wear panels help protect chutes from the impact of medium-sized rocks. Whatever your wear challenge, talk to us. We can help you find the optimal solution. 

Reduce the environmental impact of your wear liners

When you choose a product that lasts longer, you’re making a positive choice for the planet. The longer wear life of our wear lining solutions translates into less material input, less waste and a reduction in Scope 3 emissions.

Frequently asked questions

FAQs for wear coating and panels

Wear lining solutions can be made from a range of different materials, all chosen for their ability to withstand impact or reduce sliding erosion. For example, our WEAR MAX wear lining solution is an alumina ceramic epoxy, so it goes on like a glue but has the wear resistance of ceramic. It’s perfect for coating equipment that would otherwise be eroded by the movement of abrasive materials, such as the inside of a centrifuge. Our other wear lining solutions are made from different materials, but always with specific knowledge of how a particular application is affected by wear and what we need to do to protect the equipment. 

A wear liner is a coating that protects equipment from impact and/or abrasion. It can be a liquid coating that cures hard – like WEAR MAX – or a wear panel that is bolted to the equipment, like FerroCer wear panels.

Ceramic wear liners are wear lining solutions made with ceramic, usually with a high quantity of alumina. Our FerroCer wear panels feature ceramic inserts for impact and abrasion resistance, but we also produce complete ceramic tiles with 92% alumina for sliding abrasion applications.

Yes, WEAR MAX can be applied to components, such as launders, that will be in contact with liquids like slurry.
