Keep the hot end running

Sinter plants, blast furnace stock houses, pellet handling and rolling mills punish liners with abrasion, impact and heat at the same time. We specify clad plate and weld overlay by wear mechanism, not by hardness alone.

Stronger protection. Zero interruptions.

Wear solutions across the steel plant

Raw Material Handling system Raw Material Handling system Wear protection for abrasive raw material handling operations. RMHS systems face heavy abrasion from iron ore, coal, and fluxes. Arcoplate liners deliver excellent sliding wear resistance and high impact tolerance across hoppers, feeders, and conveyors. View solutions Sinter Plant Sinter Plant Engineered wear solutions for heat and abrasive fines. Sinter plants face extreme abrasion, fines, and high temperatures. Arcoplate plates provide superior resistance to thermal shock, impact, and abrasive flow in critical areas such as ignition hoods, windboxes, pallet cars, and discharge zones. View solutions Pellet Plant Pellet Plant Wear solutions for pellet cars, slide rails and fines handling. Pellet plants combine abrasive iron ore fines, hot pellets and continuous travelling-grate duty. Arcoplate slide rails and liners protect pellet cars, chutes and hoppers through long campaigns. View solutions Coke Oven Coke Oven Heat- and abrasion-resistant liners for coke handling. Coke ovens deal with sharp-edged, hot coke causing rapid liner wear. Arcoplate ensures long-lasting protection in screening sections, conveyors, and transfer chutes. View solutions Blast Furnace Blast Furnace Wear solutions for slag, heat, and hot metal handling. Blast furnaces face intense thermal stress and slag abrasion. Arcoplate plates provide long-lasting protection in cast house runners, charging areas, and slag management zones. View solutions SMS (Steel Melt Shop) SMS (Steel Melt Shop) Durable protection for scrap and slag handling. Steel melt shops experience molten slag, scrap impact, and abrasive scale. Arcoplate withstands extreme conditions and extends life of scrap charging systems, slag buckets, and material chutes. View solutions Ladle / Tundish Ladle / Tundish Thermal shock–resistant liners for molten metal handling. Ladle and tundish areas face high heat and slag corrosion. Arcoplate enhances resistance to metal erosion and thermal shock, improving operational stability. View solutions CCM (Continuous Casting Machine) CCM (Continuous Casting Machine) Scale- and impact-resistant liners for casting systems. Continuous casting machines experience scale abrasion and billet impact. Arcoplate protects chutes, guides, and runout tables for reliable casting performance. View solutions Hot Strip Mill Hot Strip Mill High-strength liners for scale and hot material handling. Hot strip mills handle abrasive hot scale and heavy loads. Arcoplate ensures durable protection in scale pits, transfer chutes, and runout tables. View solutions Cold Rolling Mill Cold Rolling Mill Abrasion-resistant liners for scrap and fine material handling. Cold rolling mill operations involve scrap, trim fines, and sharp edges. Arcoplate liners provide long-lasting sliding abrasion resistance and smoother handling. View solutions
