Square & Hexagonal Alumina Mosaic Plate — Industrial Wear Liner Tiles

Alumina Mosaic Plate Applications

• Mining Industry: Mining & Mineral Handling — Chutes and Hoppers

  ✅Key Advantages

  1. Longer wear window: 92/95% Al₂O₃ grid resists fines abrasion to stabilize throughput.
  2. Impact moderation: rubber-backed panels absorb shocks from lump ore, reducing tile cracking.
  3. Predictable change-outs: modular panels enable sectional replacement during short stops.

  ✅ Problem Solved

  At a transfer chute handling 2,500 tons/day of pelletized ore, switching to hexagonal alumina ceramic tile panels reduced patching frequency from once per week to once per month. A three-panel hotspot measuring 0.9 m² was replaced in under 6 hours, thanks to pre-drilled bolt patterns. After renewal, carry-back at the tail pulley dropped by 40%, lowering cleanup time by approximately 12 man-hours per week and extending belt scraper service life by 30%.

• Construction Materials Industry : Cement & Steel — Clinker and Sinter Lines

  ✅Key Advantages

  1. Thermal robustness: ceramic surface maintains hardness in warm zones compared with polymer liners.
  2. Flow stability: smoother liner reduces hang-ups at angle changes and splitter boxes.
  3. Cleaner housekeeping: less spillage and dust due to reduced sticking at worn patches.

  ✅ Problem Solved

  On a clinker splitter box processing 1,200 tons/day, worn steel liners caused frequent hang-ups and required inspection every 2–3 days. After switching to square alumina mosaic plate panels, hang-ups at the elbow disappeared and inspection intervals stretched to once every 2 weeks. The replacement involved 8 panels (2.5 m²) installed within one shift, reducing downtime by 18 hours per month. Downstream belt weigher readings became stable, improving clinker feed consistency and reducing production variability by 15%.

• Logistics & Port Industry: Ports & Bulk Terminals — Transfer Points & Pulley Lagging

  ✅Key Advantages

  1. Anti-slip traction: ceramic lagging tiles increase drive friction under damp fines.
  2. Modular retrofit: pre-cut arcs match pulley diameters to reduce machining.
  3. Lower carry-back: refreshed contact surface minimizes fines return.

  ✅ Problem Solved

  At a shiploader conveyor operating 4,000 hours annually, wet fines reduced traction on the tail pulley and caused belt slippage during humid mornings. Installing hexagonal alumina ceramic pulley lagging improved drive friction by 35%, eliminating unplanned stoppages linked to slippage. Weekly belt adjustments dropped from 3 times to 1 time, saving 10 maintenance hours per month. Carry-back at the scraper zone was reduced by 45%, cutting wash-down water use and lowering housekeeping costs by an estimated 20%.

Alumina Mosaic Plate Usage Instructions

• Installation

  1. Dry-fit panels along reference lines; confirm bolt pattern / adhesive coverage and check alignment with surrounding liners.
  2. Surface preparation: degrease, remove rust/scale, shot-blast or grind bonding surfaces, then wipe dry. Moisture or dust will reduce adhesive strength.
  3. Adhesive application: Use a notched trowel for even spread; press panels from centre outward to avoid trapped air; maintain joint gap of 1–2 mm.
  4. Bolt-on steel-back plates: tighten in a cross pattern to the recommended torque; mark bolts for visual check; re-check after 24 h of operation.
  5. Curing time: allow at least 12–24 h at 20 °C before starting operation. Extend curing at lower temperatures or use heaters if the ambient temperature is <10 °C.

• Storage

  1. Keep tiles, adhesives, and rubber-backed panels in a dry, shaded area between 5–30 °C.
  2. Store panels flat on pallets to avoid warping or bending.
  3. Do not stack more than 1.2 m high without intermediate spacers.
  4. Shelf life of adhesives is typically 6–12 months; check the lot code before use.

• Cleaning / Maintenance

  1. Inspect liners every 3 months in high-throughput areas, and every 6 months in moderate zones.
  2. Replace only damaged or worn panels instead of the entire chute or hopper lining.
  3. Keep the liner surface clean; use compressed air or a water jet to remove fine buildup.
  4. Avoid impact from hammers or sharp tools during cleaning; this may chip the ceramic tiles.

• Common Missteps & Fixes

  1. Issue: Adhesive cure delay in cold weather
  Fix: Pre-heat panels/adhesive; extend cure time per TDS; use temporary heaters if necessary.

  2. Issue: Edge chipping during handling
  Fix: Use corner guards; lift panels from the backing plate rather than the ceramic edges.

  3. Issue: Bolt loosening on steel-back
  Fix: Re-torque after the first 24 h; apply locking washers or thread-locking compound for vibration zones.

  4. Issue: Uneven bonding or hollow sound under tiles
  Fix: Re-check adhesive coverage; use a notched trowel for full wetting; remove and reset if voids exceed 10%.

  5. Issue: Panel mismatch at edges
  Fix: Align with datum lines during dry-fit; trim or shim as required to keepa  continuous liner surface.

Alumina Mosaic Plate FAQ

1. Q: What information should I offer to get alumina mosaic plate quotation?
   A: To prepare a precise quotation, please provide the following details: panel dimensions, tile type (square or hexagonal), thickness, backing option (flat, rubber, or steel), required quantity, and any special hole or pattern requirements. With this information, we can provide a detailed line-item quote that includes lead time.
2. Q: Are you an alumina mosaic plate factory or a trading company?
   A: We are a China-based manufacturer with drawing support and OEM paneling; direct factory control helps with tolerance and kit matching.
3. Q: What purity should I choose, 92% or 95%?
   A: 92% balances toughness for impact; 95% favours wear life in sliding abrasion. Select by ore size, drop height, and fines percentage.
4. Q: Can I purchase alumina mosaic plates in wholesale quantities, and is there a price discount?
   A: Yes, we supply wholesale alumina mosaic plates for bulk orders. Pricing is based on order volume, tile type, and backing option. Larger quantities usually receive tiered discounts, and repeat orders can be supported with stable contract pricing to help reduce long-term maintenance costs.
5. Q: Can alumina mosaic plates be curved to match pipe liners?
   A: Yes. Alumina mosaic plates can be fabricated with radius cuts or segmented panels to match pipe diameters and curved chutes. Hexagonal and small square tiles are especially suitable for lining cylindrical or conical surfaces, as they nest tightly with minimal gaps. Custom curvature, backing type, and adhesive recommendations can be provided according to your pipe liner drawings.
