Proven performance in the field

Operating a phosphate mine in Utah, USA, Simplot Phosphates is a long-standing customer of Weir Minerals. They ran a nine-month trial of the R67 rubber liner, which achieved a 29% improvement in wear life and had 20% service life remaining when it was removed. The trial also delivered an estimated 25% reduction in maintenance and reline costs.
