Industries served by SSAB Steel Service Center Santiago
SSAB Steel Service Center Santiago has extensive experience designing and retrofitting abrasive wear solutions for numerous industries. Here are a few examples.
Mining
Mineral mining is a major part of our business. We make abrasion- and impact-resistant solutions for both the extraction and processing of minerals – from dozer blades and excavator buckets to crusher plates and trommel screen liners.
Concrete
We can extend the service life of abrasion-prone equipment used cement/concrete plants by fabricating longer-lasting, wear-resistant crusher teeth and hammers, as well as liners for crushers, elevators, mixers, and extractor fans. Extremely abrasive applications – such as concrete drum mixer paddles – can be further protected by Duroxite® overlay.
Earthmoving
Earthmoving attachments – buckets, blades, ripper shanks, etc. – can all be made stronger, lighter, and more abrasion resistant by retrofitting/redesigning the original equipment with the appropriate Hardox® wear plate.
Transportation
We are experts in lightweighting suspended loads, using Strenx® performance steel to reduce weights/increase capacities for a variety of industrial vehicles – from tension bars for massive crawler cranes to lighter weight subframes for heavy-duty transports, such as concrete mixers.
Forestry
We fabricate Hardox® wear plate into strong, impact-resistant designs for the cutting and processing trees, wood, bark, and wood chips, while using Strenx® structural steel to make your tree/timber handling equipment both lighter and stronger.
Recycling
Fragmenting products that weren’t meant to be fragmented (e.g., cement, glass, rubber) places tremendous demands on recycling equipment. From shredder teeth and cutting knives to crushers screens and slag chutes, you can extend the service life of your recycling plant’s components through our expert application of Hardox® wear plate and Duroxite® overlay.
Fabricating and processing of wear-resistant equipment
SSAB Steel Service center Santiago has a spacious indoor fabrication and processing shop sitting on over 12.000 square meters of land, giving us ample room for both our steel inventories and your projects-in-progress. Our company is certified to ISO 9001-2015. Most important, however, is that all of our shop employees are trained in fabricating techniques specific to our SSAB steel offerings: Hardox® wear plate, Strenx® structural steel, and Duroxite® overlay products.
