Matrox low-friction liners installed by Dotmar EPP to prevent materials handling problems in three 80-tonne capacity conical feed bins at a mineral sands project.

MATROX flow promotion linings from the Rochling group help avoid problems such as material hangup or ratholing, which could disrupt smooth production.

The Matrox polymer liner is specifically designed for lining hoppers, chutes, bins, dump truck bodies, dozer blades and many other applications requiring solutions to sliding abrasion and ensuring release of sticky, hard-to-move materials.

Dotmar EPP designed the bin liners with 15mm-thick MATROX to reduce the internal boundary friction to overcome any flow issues that were otherwise forecast to occur.

An interstate task force was formed for the project, using Dotmar Melbourne staff prefabricating the panels in the precise shapes so Dotmar Sydney staff on-site could line the three bins swiftly and concurrently. Working closely with local contractors, Dotmar EPP’s team delivered to a demanding commissioning schedule.
