Devcon®: Maximising Plant and Equipment Availability

Plant and equipment breakdown and shutdown periods are a significant productivity issue for stakeholders on mine sites across Australia. Unscheduled downtime in the mining, oil and gas industries can be costly, with single incidents risking hundreds of thousands of dollars per hour in non-production.

When a breakdown occurs, production halts, potentially kicking off a chain reaction of delays, increased labour costs, missed deadlines and project blowouts. Yet maintenance and repairs to conveyors and mineral processing equipment are an inevitable part of life on sites nation-wide.

Tough problems, tougher solutions

The Devcon^® range of protective and emergency repair solutions has been refined over 60 years. Now, these products are an essential staple in Australia’s most demanding and remote mining locations, developed to protect, maintain, repair and rebuild the vital plant and machinery so integral to major mining operations.

Devcon’s dedicated protective coating solutions are designed for fixed plant maintenance environments, where machinery routinely experiences high levels of impact, abrasion and corrosion. The range includes:

• Epoxy products (for emergency precision repair)
• Epoxy protection systems (for wear/abrasion prevention)
• Urethanes (for casting and rubber repair solutions)
• Epoxy coatings (for anti-abrasion/corrosion protection)
• Epoxy adhesives (for specialist applications)

Fixes are quick with Devcon^®. Achieve an emergency repair in as little as 1.5 hours and trust it will last.
