Wear protection
for port bulk handling equipment

Impact loads
Erosive wear

Port equipment handles continuous flows of coal,
ore and cement under heavy abrasive load and high
drop impact. Transfer chutes, hoppers and conveyor
systems wear through fast, causing unplanned
stoppages and rising maintenance costs

WFM engineered solutions protect the highest-load zones, extending service life by 3–5×

Every stage
of your process
is losing money
to wear

From vessel unloading to outbound
dispatch, every stage contains high-wear
zones that shorten equipment life and
increase maintenance costs

Describe your wear zone. We’ll select
the right grade and send a tailored
proposal within one business day.

Most wear problems come from using
the wrong grade in the wrong zone.
We fix that by matching material to
actual operating conditions.
