HPGR Discharge Chute Liners
Wear protection for cake discharge, sliding and downstream transfer · Identify by zone and plate number
Discharge liners protect the area beneath the roll gap, the cake landing point and downstream transfer chutes. ANRANST checks plate numbers, orientation, profiles, hole patterns, materials, wear records and drawing numbers separately for impact, sliding, flow-turning and buildup zones.
Receive the cake and protect discharge and transfer structures
HPGR discharge may include relatively intact cakes, loose particles and recirculated material. Impact dominates at the landing point, while sliding abrasion dominates on inclined surfaces. Flow changes and narrow passages can also cause concentrated erosion, buildup and uneven flow.
Select materials by location. Plate orientation, joints, fastener protection and support beneath the plate also directly affect service life and the scope of replacement work during shutdowns.
Cake impact, sliding and flow-turning zones require different properties
Define zones from actual material flow and wear patterns before selecting materials.
Landing zone beneath the roll gap
Receives falling cake or particles directly. Check drop height, particle size, impact angle, support beneath the plate and toughness.
Inclined sliding zone
Subject to continuous sliding abrasion. Check flow angle, velocity, surface wear resistance and erosion at joints.
Flow-turning erosion zone
Changes in flow direction concentrate local velocity and wear. Use wear patterns to adjust the profile, material and module boundaries.
Sidewall and uneven-flow zones
Differences in wear between sides may indicate uneven feed or discharge. Record both sides and inspect upstream operation.
Buildup and blockage zones
Wet or sticky material can cause buildup, rebound and abnormal loads. Check surfaces, clearances and cleaning methods.
Fastening and modular replacement
Recess protection, bolts, joints and liner layout affect loosening risk and maintainability.
Select wear-resistant and cushioning systems for each zone's failure modes
Confirm material grade, thickness, hardness and service-life targets against drawings, used parts and operating evidence.
Selection sequence: cake condition and drop height → impact, sliding, flow changes and buildup → failures by location → materials and modules → drawings and inspection → layout and fastening → service-life records.
Establish the material flow from wear patterns before changing materials and structure
Different service lives at different plate positions in the same chute provide useful engineering information.
| Observed condition | Priority checks | Improvement Options |
|---|---|---|
| Cratering, plastic deformation or fracture at the landing point | Cake size, drop height, impact angle, support beneath the plate, material toughness and thickness | Improve impact-zone support, profile and material selection |
| Rapid thinning on inclined surfaces or at flow changes | Flow velocity, abrasiveness, angle, surface material and joint orientation | Adjust materials and module boundaries by wear zone |
| Composite block or ceramic detachment | Matrix, bonding, rubber layer, impact level, edge protection and installation | Reassess impact limits and composite construction |
| Cracking around holes or fastener failure | Hole recesses, edge distances, preload, support, impact, corrosion and material toughness | Improve hole-area design and fastener protection |
| Buildup, blockages or abnormal rebound | Moisture, cake condition, chute angle, surface friction, cross-section and cleaning access | Restore stable discharge before evaluating material service life |
