Engineered with premium alumina ceramic tiles and energy-absorbing natural rubber matrices vulcanized to robust structural steel backing plates.
Lima, the economic heart and logistic powerhouse of Peru, acts as the primary engineering support hub for the Andean region's massive copper, gold, and iron mining sectors. Megaprojects across Peru require resilient material handling systems. The abrasive nature of extracted minerals demands advanced tribological lining components capable of withstanding intense impact, shear stress, and persistent friction.
As a key supplier with direct support capabilities in Lima, we manufacture composite wear plates designed for these demanding operational environments. Our steel-backed ceramic wear liners integrate high-purity alumina (Al2O3) or zirconia-toughened alumina (ZTA) tiles vulcanized within a resilient natural rubber buffer. This composite is securely bonded to a structural steel backing plate, offering exceptional wear resistance and impact protection.
Our solutions cater to the unique climatic and altitude conditions of Peru. Whether it is the humid marine environment of coastal Callao or the low-temperature, low-oxygen operations of high-altitude mines located 4,500 meters above sea level, our products are engineered to prevent premature material failure, delamination, and structural wear.
Specially formulated steel paint finishes and vulcanized rubber barriers shield liners against saline marine humidity prevalent in coastal Lima storage facilities and docks.
Our vulcanized natural rubber matrices retain their elasticity and structural integrity in low-temperature Andean regions, preventing cracking and delamination.
Understanding the synergistic relationship between ceramic tiles, vulcanized rubber matrices, and structural steel backing plates in abrasive wear mitigation.
In high-capacity mineral processing operations, transfer chutes, hoppers, and deflectors are subjected to continuous material impact and sliding wear. Monolithic wear plates, such as tempered steel or simple rubber blocks, often fail under combined high-impact and highly abrasive conditions. The three-in-one steel-backed ceramic wear liner addresses these challenges by combining the properties of three distinct materials:
The wear-facing layer consists of engineered industrial ceramics. Alumina (92% or 95% Al2O3) is utilized for applications involving high sliding abrasion, offering exceptional hardness (Vickers hardness ≥ 1100 HV). For applications featuring severe impact, we implement Zirconia Toughened Alumina (ZTA), which increases fracture toughness by utilizing zirconia particles to arrest micro-cracks before they propagate through the ceramic tile structure.
Underlying the ceramic tiles is a natural rubber layer that absorbs kinetic energy. When bulk ore hits the composite plate, the rubber layer deforms elastically to dissipate the impact energy, protecting the hard but brittle ceramic tiles from cracking. Our hot-vulcanized rubber compounds feature a high tensile strength (≥ 15 MPa) and an elongation capability at break of ≥ 400%, maintaining elasticity across temperature variations.
The base is a structural carbon steel plate (typically Q235, A36, or mild steel) that provides structural rigidity. This layer prevents deformation of the liner under load and allows for various mounting methods. Solid steel studs are welded directly to the back of the plate, or countersunk holes are machined through the liner, enabling secure installation into chutes and hoppers.

Answers to common queries regarding design, installation, and application of composite wear liners.
Composite ceramic wear liners offer significantly longer service life compared to standard wear-resistant steel (such as Hardox). The high hardness of the alumina ceramic face reduces abrasive wear, while the intermediate rubber layer dampens impact energy, making them suitable for applications handling high-volume, abrasive mineral materials.
Liners can be customized with welded threaded studs on the steel backing plate for exterior nut fastening, countersunk holes for direct bolt-down installation, or design modifications for drop-in frame structures, depending on the specific equipment requirements.
We utilize vulcanizing agents and natural rubber compounds that retain physical flexibility at temperatures as low as -40°C. This ensures the structural bond between the ceramic tiles and steel plate remains stable under thermal expansion and contraction at high altitudes.
ZTA is recommended for high-impact applications, such as transfer chutes handling large-diameter ore drop heights exceeding 1.5 meters. For sliding abrasion with minimal impact, standard 92% or 95% alumina is typically the most cost-effective solution.
