Abstract
A wear-resistant lining element which is intended for a surface subjected to wear and which has an outwardly directed surface, over which material in the form of pieces or particles, such as crushed ore and crushed rock material, is intended to move. The wear-resistant lining element includes an elastomeric material, and is characterized in that it has a metal profile at least partly embedded along an edge of the wear-resistant lining element by vulcanization or hardening. The disclosure also relates to a wear-resistant lining, a truck haul body and a method for manufacturing a wear-resistant lining element.
Claims18
A wear-resistant lining element which is intended for a surface subjected to wear and which has an outwardly directed surface, over which material in the form of pieces or particles, such as crushed ore and crushed rock material, is intended to move, said metal profile comprising elastomeric material, wherein said wear resistant lining element has a metal profile at least partly embedded along an outer edge of said wear-resistant lining element by vulcanization or hardening,
- wherein an edge of said metal profile is exposed along the entire outer edge of said wear-resistant lining element such that the edge of the metal profile is weldable to said surface subjected to wear;
- wherein said wear-resistant lining element prevents material from traveling in between said outer edge of said wear-resistant lining element and said surface subjected to wear and protects the entire outer edge of said wear-resistant lining element from impact and wear.
A method for manufacturing a wear-resistant lining element, comprising
- arranging a metal profile in a mold,
- at a point of time after arranging the metal profile, supplying elastomeric material to said mold,
- vulcanizing or hardening, said elastomeric material, such that the metal profile is embedded along an outer edge of said wear-resistant lining element, and
- exposing said metal profile along the entire edge of the wear-resistant lining element so that the wear-resistant lining element is weldable to a surface being subjected to wear in order to prevent material from traveling in between said outer edge of said wear-resistant lining element and said surface subjected to wear, and to protect the entire outer edge of said wear-resistant lining element from impact and wear.
A truck haul body of metal material lined with at least one wear-resistant lining element over which material in the form of pieces or particles, such as crushed ore and crushed rock material is intended to move, said wear-resistant lining element comprising:
- elastomeric material and a metal profile, wherein a first portion of said metal profile is both at least partially embedded and attached to said wear-resistant lining element by vulcanization or hardening;
- and
- a second portion of said metal profile is attached to a side wall of said truck haul body in order to prevent material from traveling in between said side wall and said wear-resistant lining element and to protect an entire outer edge of said wear-resistant lining element from impact and wear.
