Bennox Plates
Bennox plates are wear-resistant steel liners used to protect high-wear areas of screening and material handling equipment. Known for their excellent hardness and toughness, Bennox plates are ideal for applications exposed to heavy impact, abrasion, and continuous material flow.
What Are Bennox Plates?
Bennox is a trade name for a quenched and tempered steel plate, typically with a Brinell hardness of around 400–450 HB, depending on grade. It strikes a balance between wear resistance and impact absorption, making it perfect for high-throughput, high-impact conditions.
Integration with Aury Africa Screens
Bennox plates can be used in combination with Aury’s screening systems to:
-
-
Line scalping decks beneath wire or PU panels
-
Protect high-wear areas such as feed boxes and discharge points
-
Absorb impact before material reaches finer screen surfaces
-
Serve as customizable bolt-on liners in modular screen systems
-
Typical Applications
Bennox plates are used across industries including:
-
Mining and quarrying – chutes, hoppers, bins, and scalping decks
-
Coal preparation – deflector plates, transfer points
-
Screening equipment – top deck liners or bolted-in impact zones
-
Crushing operations – underflow liners, discharge chutes
-
Aggregate plants – truck beds, transfer skips, and bucket liners
Technical Properties
-
Hardness: Typically ~400–450 HB
-
Thickness range: Commonly from 6 mm to 50 mm
-
Weldability: Good, but should be preheated for thicker sections
-
Formability: Can be rolled or bent with proper tools and allowances
-
Finish: Smooth surface, can be painted or coated if required
Maintenance Advantages
-
Quick bolt-on replacement reduces downtime
-
Less frequent replacement cycles versus mild steel
-
Supports long-term structural integrity of screening and transfer equipment
