Light Weight Composites for Mining
DOTMAR Plastic Solutions is one of the largest importers, distributors and machinists of thermoplastic stock shapes, polyurethane and conveyor components in Australia and New Zealand.
Dotmar draws on years of in-field experience to provide products and services to a range of projects, including large on-shore and off-shore resources projects.
Dotmar assists clients at the design, tendering and installation phases to help bring the project to commercial reality.
Converted to finished parts, advanced engineering plastics are emerging as improved replacement materials for traditional metal components.
Examples include bearings and bushes, filtration, chemical tanks, safety guards, rope sheaves, pulleys, and MATROX® – the industry standard for flow promotion liners.
Dotmar and its business partners distribute and install MATROX® lining systems, a specially formulated Ultra High Molecular Weight Polyethylene (UHMW-PE) extremely low co-efficient friction liner.
MATROX® is specifically designed for lining storage and transfer equipment, hoppers, chutes, bins, dump truck bodies and loader buckets – all of which require remedies to sliding abrasion and release of sticky bulk materials.
Dotmars’ international partner, Rochling, has introduced formulation enhancements and strict metrics to create an extremely high quality MATROX® product for use in many demanding bulk solids handling areas.
Mining, minerals and concentrate handling, processing, chemical, filtration, and wharf loading all benefit from its impressive physical properties.
MATROX® liners reduce boundary friction, provides substrate protection, and achieve full design capacity and consistent discharge rates.
These results are achieved through the extremely low friction surface, outstanding wear resistance, high impact strength and excellent chemical resistance.
High performance materials specified by mine design consultants must meet the demands of the end users, and MATROX® responds by delivering best-case production flow rates at optimum wall angles.
Quality material, coupled with liners installed to the manufacturers’ recommendations, are important in achieving successful flow promotion and maximum longevity while improving site safety, health and environmental targets.
