Belzona offers cost-effective solutions which reduce downtime and labour costs whilst eliminating the need for equipment replacement.
Belzona's extensive range of polymeric metal and rubber repair composites, along with durable protective coatings, has been trusted in the mining industry for decades. These materials provide exceptional protection against erosion, corrosion, abrasion, and chemicals in harsh environments, offering cost-effective solutions that reduce downtime and labor costs, while eliminating the need for equipment replacement.
Solids handling equipment restoration and protection
Belzona offers a wide range of metal and rubber repair materials, such as Belzona 1811 for abrasion-resistant screw conveyor repairs and Belzona 2111 and 2311 for flexible repairs of conveyor belts and tires, providing long-term protection against wear without the need for hot vulcanization or disassembly.

Abrasion damage repair and protection
Belzona abrasion-resistant linings, such as Belzona 1812 (Ceramic Carbide FP), provide a cost-effective, sacrificial solution for protecting and repairing pipe elbows, chutes, and hoppers from abrasion. For impact protection, Belzona’s 2000 Series offers tough, flexible, and fast-curing materials that create a sacrificial lining, allowing quick and easy protection against impact damage.
Fluid and gas handling equipment repair and protection
Severely damaged pumps in the mining industry, including liquid vacuum and centrifugal pumps, can be restored and protected against erosion, corrosion, and chemical attack using Belzona materials like Belzona 1212 for in-situ repairs and Belzona 1311 (Ceramic R-Metal) for chemical resistance. Coatings such as Belzona 1321 offer long-term protection, while Belzona 1341 (Supermetalglide) can increase pump efficiency by up to 7% on new and 20% on refurbished equipment.
Mechanical equipment repair
Mechanical equipment experiencing bearing vibration, wear, and lubrication loss, such as shafts and engines, can be repaired with cold-applied materials like Belzona 1131 (Bearing Metal), which reduces friction by trapping lubricating oil. For quick bearing housing repairs, Belzona 1212 provides fast-cure solutions for emergency repairs, minimizing downtime.
Protection from chemical attack
Belzona epoxy repair composites and coatings offer exceptional chemical resistance for equipment like chemical storage and leach tanks. For example, Belzona 4311 (Magma CR1) is ideal for protecting secondary containment areas from chemical contamination, while Belzona 5811 (Immersion Grade) provides excellent protection for equipment under continuous immersion.
Chocking and shimming solutions
The severe impact and vibration in the mining and quarrying industry often lead to machinery misalignment, causing efficiency loss and equipment damage. Belzona 1111 (Super Metal) is ideal for repairing loose bearing pins, bush housings, and misaligned components, while Belzona 7111, a pourable chocking compound, evenly spreads across irregular surfaces to provide maximum support once cured.
Facilities maintenance
Belzona’s materials offer cost-effective solutions to maintenance challenges by reducing downtime, labor, and equipment replacement costs while improving efficiency and reliability. Solutions include:
-Liquid-applied, flexible roof membranes for weatherproofing
-Concrete and stonework repair and protection systems
-Environmental barrier polymers to reduce environmental impact
-Safety surfacing polymers to minimize slip hazards.
