SAG / AG Mills – Shell Liners

Description Benefits Features Operation

SAG / AG Mills – Shell Liners

The shell is the most critical section of the SAG / AG mill, as the liners in this position endure significant impact and wear due to the interaction between the balls, the load, and the liners. The performance of these liners directly affects the mill’s availability and the frequency of maintenance required and relines.

ME Elecmetal offers solutions specifically designed for aggressive operations and challenging ores, providing a range of alloys and profiles tailored to meet each customer’s needs and ensure the fulfillment of key performance indicators (KPIs) in the mining industry.

Benefits

Availability

ME Elecmetal offers alloys that combine toughness and hardness, providing exceptional resistance to impact and abrasion. Alloys like CM2 and CMHC exemplify these characteristics. Additionally, advanced liner designs extend the lifespan of the liners, enhancing the availability of SAG / AG mill equipment.

Maintainability

The SMX and PolyLight liners reduce the number of components, leading to fewer movements inside the mill, which decreases maintenance time and costs.

Safety

External bolting and torchless solutions minimize exposure to hazardous areas, promoting a safer work environment and ensuring compliance with safety standards.

Sustainability

ME Elecmetal’s sustainability strategy emphasizes the circular economy, aiming to optimize steel management and efficiently separate rubber and steel components from liners.

Features

ME Elecmetal provides a wide variety of alloy options and profiles to ensure optimal performance. Key features that enhance maintainability, reliability, and safety include:

  • Cast Liners: CM1, CM2, CMHC
  • ME PolyFIT Liners: Laminate + Rubber
  • Hybrid Liners: The PolyLight design combines cast and ME PolyFIT products to improve cost efficiency, wear rates, differentiation, and recyclability. Available in SMX profile and “Boot” design.

Operation

  • ME Elecmetal’s liners are customized to meet client specifications and adhere to strict manufacturing standards.
  • These liners are installed by specialized companies in SAG / AG mills, ball mills, and rod mills, with periodic monitoring to ensure wear rates align with client projections.
  • ME Elecmetal is committed to promoting the circular economy by recovering scrap and reducing the carbon footprint of its manufacturing processes.
