HPGR (High Pressure Grinding Rolls) cheek plates are essential wear protection components installed on the sides of HPGR rollers. During high-pressure grinding, they are exposed to severe abrasion, material impact, and continuous mechanical stress. High-quality cheek plates help protect the roller edges, reduce material bypass, and maintain stable grinding performance.
Old Craftsman HPGR Cheek Plates are manufactured using wear-resistant materials and precision machining processes to meet the requirements of demanding mining and mineral processing applications. Depending on the equipment design and operating conditions, our cheek plates can be supplied with tungsten carbide wear protection to improve abrasion resistance and extend service life.
Key Advantages of Old Craftsman HPGR Cheek Plates
-
Excellent Wear Resistance: Tungsten carbide protection helps resist severe abrasion from hard ores and mineral particles.
-
Reduced Material Bypass: Properly designed cheek plates help control lateral material leakage and improve grinding consistency.
-
Reliable Impact Resistance: Carefully selected carbide grades and bonding processes help balance hardness and toughness under demanding operating conditions.
-
Custom Manufacturing: Dimensions, profiles, mounting features, and carbide specifications can be customized according to customer drawings or existing samples.
-
Lower Maintenance Costs: Improved wear resistance can reduce replacement frequency, maintenance downtime, and overall wear-part consumption.
Key Product Features
- Extreme Wear Resistance: Manufactured using high-density tungsten carbide inserts embedded in a tough steel substrate.
- Precision Fit: Custom-engineered dimensions to ensure seamless installation with minimal downtime.
- Cost Efficiency: Significantly reduces maintenance frequency, lowering total cost of ownership (TCO).
- Enhanced Edge Protection: Prevents premature wear on roll edges, maintaining consistent grinding efficiency.
