What wear is costing
your operation

Every unplanned shutdown means
lost production. Without adequate
protection, rapid wear leads to part
replacements every 3–4 months and
up to six maintenance stops per year.

in open-pit rock extraction
Cement
Abrasive dust and elevated
temperatures in continuous production
Underground mining
Where every maintenance stop is harder
and more costly than on the surface
Metallurgy
Abrasion, impact and high
temperatures simultaneously
Recycling
Mixed materials and
unpredictable impact loads
Construction materials
Continuous operation with abrasive
and coarse-fraction material
Port logistics
Wear from material drop height
and constant abrasive flow

Technical consultation
We analyse your operating conditions and select the right grade.
The solution is confirmed before production begins.
Commercial proposal
A tailored quote with fixed lead times, scope and technical parameters.
Сonfirmed in writing.
Production
and delivery
Manufactured at our own plant in Slovakia. Quality control at every stage.
You receive exactly what was agreed.

Start with a trial batch
— no commitment
required

Switching suppliers is a decision that
requires confidence. That is why we
propose starting with a pilot.

Identify the wear zones
We determine the highest-stress
areas on your equipment and request drawings or measurements.
Produce the trial batch
Plates are manufactured to
your specifications at our own
facility in Slovakia.
Test under real conditions
The plates run on your equipment.
You assess wear rate and service
life against your current solution.
Make your decision
Based on real field data
— you decide whether to
move to full-scale supply.
