Crusher Wear parts & Mill Liners for Mining Operations

Growth’s high manganese steel wear liners allow crushers in mines to prevail in extremely tough conditions. A subsidiary of Growth Steel Group, the company is keen to apply its knowhow to projects in the African Mining sector. With Growth Steel Africa and Growth Steel Ghana, the regions for East- and West Africa is covered by our technical sales team.

An unfortunate experience a mining company can encounter is production being halted at its peak, incurring hundreds of thousands of dollars – if not millions – in potential loss of revenue due to crusher and mill liner failure. Fortunately, with proper planning, timely intervention through wear protection, incidents of costly downtime mines can be averted.

Growth Steel Africa, a subsidiary of Growth Steel Group, is urging mining companies to ensure that they use proven wear parts for their critical mineral processing equipment, especially crushers and mill liners.  Growth Steel Africa is eager to provide its knowhow in wear protection solutions that enable mining companies to increase performance, availability and lower maintenance costs of mills and crushers to mining companies in Africa. Being part of Growth Steel Group, an established world leader in service excellence for the design and manufacture of mineral processing equipment wear solutions, the company is well-furnished to provide comprehensive technical service to customers.

The edge over competitors

Growth’s high manganese steel wear liners allow crushers in mines to prevail in extremely tough conditions. Growth South Africa’s Technical Sales Specialist, Chris Muller, cites the following as strengths which give the company the edge over competitors: Commitment to Quality Standards; High Supply Capacity; Customised Approach; In-depth Technical Support; and cutting-edge technologies.

• Commitment to high quality standards

Growth has an unflagging commitment to high quality standards, with practices and procedures carried out in accordance with up-to-date ISO standards. Furthermore, the liners undergo rapid and intense testing to ensure long-lasting quality. This speaks volumes why the company’s high manganese-, CrMo and Rubber wear liners have prevailed in extremely challenging conditions in which ordinary products faulter.

• High Supply Capacity

Growth has capacity to produce up to 65,000 tons of mill liners made from international standard alloy steel a year for mining companies and other industries, both regionally and globally. Hence, it guarantees that it is able to meet huge volumes of orders.

• Custom design

Growth’s mill liners are customised designed with the specific needs and operational requirements of industries in mind using the state-of-the-art technologies available inhouse. Furthermore, the type of milling applications determine which material grades are appropriate for a particular task. Muller explicates: “Whether your milling application requires impact toughness, abrasion resistance or a balance, we carefully select the chemistry and microstructure properties to be produced within our quality liners.”

• In-depth technical support

It is unfortunate that, some wear protection solutions providers are faulted for leaving their clients to their own devices after installation, failing to offer very basic assistance when needed the most. However, going beyond the scope of basic services, Growth ’s experienced technical sales team provide in-depth technical support – assess operational requirements, provide installation support and work closely with the client to optimise production throughput.

Muller emphasises on the importance of having the presence of support team on site: “We understand that demands are everchanging in the mineral processing industry. As such, our experienced site support team is always on hand to provide ongoing consultations, to achieve a liner wear solution that suits the client’s changing operational needs.”

• Cutting edge engineering technologies

Growth’stechnical specialists utilise cutting edge engineering technologies to assess and optimise casting design and maximise product quality. The range of technologies, with the scope of expanding, includes: 3D laser scanning, 3D liner profiling, 3D Dem simulation, Computer Aided Design (CAD) and CNC pattern manufacturing.

Consistently, the support team carries out assessment, measurement and monitoring of wear liners on equipment. The array of the team’s interventions includes: Wear Monitoring and Assessment via Laser Scanning and Ultrasonic Thickness Inspection; Progressive Wear Overlay; Liner Profiling and Sectional Thickness; and Wear Prediction and Mapping.

Equipped with the technologies, the technical support team can perform timely interventions, which minimises equipment downtime and ensures availability.  Employing advanced software and 3D laser scan technology they are able to carry out continuous condition monitoring of installed liners in mills and accurately forecasts reline timing based on wear trend analysis. In this way, reline change out time is minimised.

Ready to serve industry   

“Ultimately, engaging Growth Steel guarantees increased performance, availability and lower maintenance costs for crushers and mills used in mines,” Muller informs potential clientele in African mining, highlighting the company’s readiness. The company views Africa as its next growth frontier with an already significant customer base in most African countries

Headquartered in Indonesia, Growth Steel Africa is also a manufacturer/supplier of rubber mill liners, fasteners, grinding media and a vast array of other products.
