Freundt added:“ It’ s important to note that the removal was carried out in order to close the test and perform a full wear assessment. However, it was observed that the liners were still in good condition and still have remaining service life.”
Spin Peru and ROXON estimate that, by the end of the liners’ lifespan, approximately 20 Mt will have been processed.
Following the success of this trial, ROXDUR skirting liners are now being installed in the chute conveyors at the same site.
ROXON products are fully made from recycled iron and carbides, with material efficiency, reduced wear material consumption and the use of renewable energy making ROXDUR the most sustainable solution, the company says, claiming that only 4 kg of CO 2 is produced per tonne of ROXDUR manufactured.
PolyFIT processing proposal
ME Elecmetal has a case study of its own to highlight the wear life benefits of its ME PolyFIT ® composite feed head liners in a 34 ft( 10.4 m) SAG mill at an open-pit coppermolybdenum mine in British Columbia, Canada.
This mine operates two grinding circuits, each with a 34 ft x 14 ft 8 in SAG mill.

In early 2023, a manufacturer’ s inspection revealed structural concerns in the feed end head of SAG # 1, including a circumferential wear pattern and erosion up to 150-mm
deep at the flange / joint. With extended lead times from the manufacturer for replacement components( 68 weeks lead time; 38 weeks expedited) and potential risks to the mill’ s
