A deadbox is a term commonly used within the bulk material handling community, describing a practice whereby ore is deliberately allowed to build-up in a high-impact area to cover the underlying structure; thereby using the ore as the protective coating. Dead boxes are extensively used in high-impact and abrasion areas, as it is a very economical solution to protect the underlying applications.

Uretech’s polyurethane deadbox liner system was the first of its kind. The compartmentalised structure of the deadbox liners encourages material build-up within the compartments (or shelves), resulting in material onto material flow. The underlying deadbox is therefore in a sense buried underneath ore flowing over it. This makes it ideal for applications exposed to very high material flow volumes.

Deadbox liners are also manufactured with Uretech’s patented fiber-reinforced backing plates, ensuring safe and fast installation times.
