We all see street sweepers out on the road but not many of us think about the components required to keep them up and running. The gravel and sand picked up by those sweepers is terribly abrasive and can wreak havoc on blower wheels and housings. Luckily, Sioux Rubber & Urethane manufactures rubber encapsulated expanded metal sheeting that top tier OEMs and maintenance shops use to line and protect internal components from abrasion and wear. Bolt-on linings made with our rubber encapsulated expanded metal help blower fan housings last multiple times longer than unlined housings and when those linings finally wear down, they can easily and efficiently be replaced by simply removing a few bolts. Simple, effective protection that maximizes uptime and simplifies maintenance.
You might not be out there sweeping streets but if your equipment is subject to wear and tear from abrasive elements like sand, gravel, mining slurries, and other debris, chances are that Sioux Rubber has a solution to help minimize maintenance and keep your equipment up and running. From our standard AbrasiPlate™ rubber faced steel plate, to custom installed vulcanized rubber linings, to cast and sprayed urethane, Sioux Rubber & Urethane has the expert knowledge and materials to make your equipment tough enough to withstand whatever you throw at it.
