RUBBER LINING | CHUTES & HOPPERS

Rubber Lining for Chutes & Hoppers.

Rubber Lining for Chutes & Hoppers

Chutes and hoppers are where impact, abrasion and vibration stack up fast. Rubber lining is a proven solution for protecting steelwork, reducing noise, and extending the service life of transfer points and high-wear corners.

Common Wear Problems We Solve

  • Impact zones cracking or denting steelwork
  • Sliding abrasion thinning plate and liner edges
  • Corner failure where liners lift or peel back
  • Noise & vibration around transfer points
  • Build-up & hang-ups causing flow problems
  • Premature repairs caused by poor detailing

A good result comes down to the right rubber selection and correct installation, especially at seams, corners, penetrations and wear edges.

How We Approach Chute & Hopper Lining

Wear Zone Mapping

We identify impact points, flow lines and failure areas to choose the correct lining thickness and layout.

Detailing & Edges

Corners, seams and penetrations are treated like critical points so the lining stays down under load.

Hybrid Solutions

For severe impact/abrasion, we can combine rubber with ceramic wear systems for longer service life.

FAQs

What rubber thickness do chutes usually need?

Thickness depends on impact severity and abrasion rate. We recommend based on wear zone mapping and material profile, not generic rules.

Can rubber lining reduce noise at transfer points?

Yes. Rubber dampens noise and vibration significantly compared to bare steel, especially in high-impact areas.

Do you handle shutdown work?

Yes. Share your shutdown schedule early so we can plan materials, labour and sequencing to minimise downtime.
