Asphalt Production Plastic Liners

Exceptional Durability and Wear Resistance: Designed to withstand the abrasive and demanding conditions inherent in asphalt production, UHMW and TIVAR deliver superior resistance to impact, wear, and corrosion. This translates directly to a longer equipment life, reducing the need for frequent replacements and minimizing costly downtime, especially in high-stress areas like cold feed hoppers, RAP (Recycled Asphalt Pavement) bins, and hot mix asphalt storage silos.

Reduced Friction and Material Buildup: UHMW Liners are self-lubricating, significantly reducing friction helping flowability. This not only minimizes wear on moving parts but also prevents material buildup, ensuring smoother flow of aggregates and cement.

Lighter Weight and Improved Efficiency: UHMW ccomponents are considerably lighter than their metal counterparts. This can lessen the structural load on your machinery and potentially improve energy efficiency for conveyors and other moving elements.

Corrosion and Chemical Resistance: Unlike metals, UHMW is impervious to corrosion from moisture, various additives, and the inherent properties of asphalt binder, guaranteeing reliable performance even in the most challenging environments.

Enhanced Safety: The non-sparking properties of certain UHMW contribute to a safer operational environment, particularly around flammable materials or in areas where sparks could pose a hazard.

Cold Feed Bins and RAP Hoppers: Polymer liners and inserts prevent material bridging and hang-ups, optimizing flow and safeguarding bin structures from abrasive wear. This ensures more precise and efficient material handling, especially for damp or sticky aggregates and RAP.

Aggregate Conveyors and Chutes: Components like chute liners, transfer point guards, and conveyor belt scrapers made from high-performance polymers offer superior wear resistance, reduce operational noise, and prolong the life of the conveyor system by minimizing friction and preventing material carry-back.

Hot Mix Asphalt Storage Silos: UHMW TIVAR within hot mix asphalt silos, particularly in the discharge cones, are instrumental in preventing bridging and guaranteeing a consistent discharge of the finished mix. This significantly reduces operational interruptions and maintenance due to material sticking.

Asphalt Hauling Trucks: Wear pads and bed liners for asphalt hauling trucks greatly benefit from the impact and abrasion resistance of UHMW and TIVAR. They dramatically improve the release of hot, sticky asphalt from truck beds, making dumping quicker, more thorough, and drastically cutting down on clean-out time and effort.
