Flexco recently added a new product, the Polyurethane Canoe Liner, to its line of conveyor protection solutions.
Designed for placement in a conveyor skirtboard system, the Polyurethane Canoe Liner immediately provides superior impact protection, absorbing material loads and preventing structural damage while creating a more efficient and cost-effective conveyor operation.
It can be installed fast and is field-ready for the process, and can go inside existing skirtboard systems without major modifications, which can altogether avoid the complications that stem from traditional rubber tiles or basic urethane solutions that may require extensive system alterations during installation.
Instead, it easily mounts inside the skirt box where material impact occurs, is positioned to absorb heavy loads, and creates an effective high-wear barrier to protect the conveyor’s infrastructure. The Canoe Liner’s product design features a steel-reinforced construction, giving Flexco’s partner network a superior solution that can withstand the punishment of overloaded conveyor conditions while enabling quick replacement when worn.
The liner is available in segments up to 48 inches and can be sized to match specific skirtboard dimensions. Additionally, it features a steel-reinforced urethane construction for maximum durability, operates effectively under heavy material loads, and includes complete mounting hardware for immediate installation.
“The Polyurethane Canoe Liner is a much-needed addition to our collection of conveyor protection systems,” said Kevin Fales, Flexco HD BCP product manager. “During site visits, our territory managers often notice conveyor systems that are being overloaded or experiencing off-center material placement that damages skirtboard walls.
“Unfortunately, this can create significant issues for plant managers, as when their skirtboards are damaged, they face costly repairs, extended downtime, and decreased operational efficiency. The structural damage that is created is expensive to repair, often requiring complete skirtboard replacement, and causes other components to become susceptible to excess wear. Worse, the material spillage subjects their onsite workforce to hazardous working conditions and cleanup requirements.”
The Canoe Liner can be used in coal, aggregate, cement, open pit/hard rock mining, underground mining, and bulk material handling operations.
