Industrial Wear Strips

Chutes, hoppers, bins and machine slideways handling bulk material, product or stock take constant abrasive wear. Steel liners rust and eventually wear through; timber splits and swells. Plastic wear strips solve both problems, giving a hard-wearing, low-friction surface that keeps material flowing and protects the structure underneath.

We cut UHMWPE, HDPE and acetal wear strips and liners to size, either as flat sheet ready to bolt or bond in place, or profiled to fit a specific chute angle or slideway.

Wear strips show up across mining and quarrying (chute liners, screen decks, hopper walls), manufacturing (slideways, feed tracks, guide rails), packaging (product chutes, infeed guides) and general fabrication where anything slides, drops or is dragged across a surface repeatedly.

Correctly specced wear liners typically outlast steel liners several times over in abrasive service while eliminating the corrosion and buildup issues that come with rusting steel.

We cut wear strips to length and width on the panel saw, profile bolt holes and rebates on the CNC router, and can supply pre-drilled kits matched to an existing liner pattern so replacement is a straight swap.

Wear strip specs often say Polystone or Tivar rather than UHMWPE. Our engineering plastic trade names guide cross-references the brands to the materials we cut.

Send us a sample of the worn liner or a drawing with key dimensions and we'll match material, thickness and fixing pattern for a like-for-like replacement.
