Crushers & Screens Protective Coating Solutions

High-Performance Protective Coatings for Mining Crushers & Screening Plants

Crushers and screening plants are among the hardest-working assets in any mining operation. From primary crushing through to final material sizing, this equipment operates continuously under extreme conditions where abrasion, impact, dust, moisture and corrosive environments accelerate wear and structural deterioration. Protecting these critical assets with high-performance coating systems helps maximise equipment life, reduce maintenance costs and improve plant reliability.

At Alka Coatings, we manufacture and supply advanced protective coating systems specifically engineered for crushers, screening equipment and mineral processing plants. Our coating technologies provide long-term corrosion protection while helping mining operators minimise downtime and extend the service life of valuable infrastructure.

Whether you’re developing a new processing plant, upgrading an existing crushing circuit or carrying out planned maintenance, Alka Coatings delivers coating solutions built for Australia’s demanding mining industry.

Protecting Critical Crushing & Screening Infrastructure

Our protective coating systems are suitable for a wide range of crushing and screening equipment, including:

• Primary crushers

• Secondary crushers

• Tertiary crushers

• Jaw crushers

• Cone crushers

• Impact crushers

• Gyratory crushers

• Vibrating screens

• Scalping screens

• Screening stations

• Feed hoppers

• Transfer chutes

• Surge bins

• Conveyor support structures

• Structural steel

• Walkways

• Maintenance platforms

• Processing buildings

• Equipment foundations

Every coating specification is selected according to the operating environment, substrate type and expected service conditions.

Challenges Facing Crushers & Screens

Crushing and screening equipment operates under constant exposure to aggressive mining conditions.

Common challenges include:

• Severe abrasion from ore and rock

• Heavy impact loading

• Atmospheric corrosion

• Dust accumulation

• Moisture exposure

• UV degradation

• Chemical exposure

• Water wash-down operations

• Continuous vibration

• Mechanical wear

Without effective corrosion protection, these conditions can reduce equipment reliability, increase maintenance requirements and shorten asset life.

Advanced Protective Coating Systems

Alka Coatings manufactures industrial coating systems developed specifically for mining and mineral processing operations.

Our solutions include:

• High-build epoxy coatings

• Abrasion-resistant coatings

• Zinc-rich primers

• Epoxy intermediate coatings

• Polyurethane topcoats

• Chemical-resistant epoxy systems

• Concrete waterproofing systems

• Protective maintenance coatings

• Heavy-duty anti-slip flooring systems

Every coating system is engineered to provide outstanding adhesion, corrosion resistance and long-term durability.

Structural Steel Protection

Structural steel supports every crushing and screening operation and requires reliable long-term corrosion protection.

Applications include:

• Crusher support structures

• Screen support frames

• Feed structures

• Conveyor support steel

• Walkways

• Stairways

• Maintenance platforms

• Pipe bridges

• Equipment support frames

• Steel frameworks

Our protective coating systems help preserve structural integrity while reducing maintenance costs over the asset lifecycle.

Hoppers, Chutes & Material Transfer Areas

Material transfer equipment is subjected to constant impact and abrasive wear throughout the production process.

Our coating systems are suitable for:

• Feed hoppers

• Transfer chutes

• Surge bins

• Crusher feed stations

• Discharge points

• Ore handling structures

• Material transfer infrastructure

These systems help protect steel structures from corrosion while improving durability and reducing maintenance.

Concrete Protection Systems

Concrete infrastructure supporting crushing and screening operations requires protection against moisture, chemicals and heavy industrial use.

Suitable applications include:

• Equipment foundations

• Concrete bunds

• Retaining walls

• Process floors

• Wash-down areas

• Maintenance facilities

• Secondary containment systems

Our concrete protection systems improve durability while reducing long-term repair costs.
