Don’t Let Abrasion Wear You Down

Posted by Sioux Rubber & Urethane Team on Aug 17, 2020 2:13:55 PM

Tiny objects can cause extensive damage. Sand, grain, gravel, and other small items are maneuvered regularly in a wide variety of industries. In a short period of time, these particles will rub, grind, and slowly eat through metal equipment. Replacing pipes, augurs, screws, or housings on a regular basis can drain your profits and leave you frustrated. The good news? It’s an avoidable problem. Endurawear Rubber is a relatively inexpensive solution for covering and protecting the exposed parts of your machinery, strengthening your equipment, and keeping your business running smoothly.

Rubber Sheets

Our rubber sheets product, Abrasiplate, is designed to stop abrasion and reduce steel-on-steel friction. These rubber sheets are readily in stock and can be installed easily in a variety of applications. Abrasiplate is chemically bonded to the material it protects, creating an unbreakable bond that is stronger than the traditional cold-bonded rubber our competitors offer. Studies have shown that a rubber-faced plate provides abrasion wear time up to 10x longer than unprotected metals. 

Rubber Linings

Rubber lining can protect tanks, fan housings, pump housings, impellers, containers, and ducts from corrosion and abrasion issues. The options are endless and the benefits are vast: rubber lining not only protects your equipment, but it also protects the contents from contamination. 

Rubber Rollers

Extend the life of your rollers and save on costly repairs or down-time. We can apply our patented Endurawear Rubber coating to virtually any size pulley or roller. Whether you need a completely new roller or are recovering an existing core, we can accommodate almost any size and up to 60” diameter and 20” length. Crown and/or grooved finishes are also available.

Rubber Clamp Pads and Forklift Covers

Worn clamp pads causing lost productivity? If so, let Sioux Rubber & Urethane solve your problem by replacing the old rubber covering. This procedure is a cost-effective option compared to the cost of a new set of clamp pads. Having your current clamp pads recovered takes the guesswork and labor out of purchasing new ones. The original mounting holes can be used making pre-drilling unnecessary. Protect the life of your forklift today, and get up and running faster than ever.

Fighting abrasion is at the core of our business, and the options are endless for how Sioux Rubber & Urethane products can streamline your business and lengthen the life of your machinery. Whether a standard rubber sheet or a custom-fit solution for a unique problem you’re facing, we’ve got the rubber to stop the abrasion from slowing you down. Give us a call today!
