According to data from the company Mining Element, rubber-ceramic wear-resistant plates for transfer points have become a bestseller among construction stone producers over the last three years. If an enterprise works with gabbro-diabase, their service life can be up to 17 times longer than that of standard steel plates. Gabbro-diabase is one of the most common varieties of granite used in the construction of buildings and roads. At the same time, it is an abrasive material that wears down equipment during extraction and transportation. It is precisely for this material that Mining Element, a manufacturer of spare and wear parts for mining and construction equipment, most often recommends replacing standard plates for lining transfer devices with rubber-ceramic ones. Over the last three years, dozens of the company's clients have been convinced that rubber-ceramic lasts up to 17 times longer than standard steel. This allows enterprises to reduce operational equipment maintenance costs, even though the composite material is more expensive than steel. "As a rule, during the transportation of gabbro-diabase, rubber-ceramic linings last for several years. When we learn that a customer works with this type of stone, it's the first thing we offer, and customers are grateful for it, as they can save several thousand dollars per year on relining a single point this way," said Olga Stepuk, manager of the Wear-Resistant Materials department.
