In demanding mining, aggregate, and industrial environments, wear is one of the biggest costs, not just in replacement parts, but in downtime, maintenance labor, and efficiency loss. At NorX, we understand that optimizing uptime and extending component life is critical. That’s why we’re proud to offer Metso’s Trellex PPU wear-lining system, a high-performance solution engineered for sliding wear applications and tailored for lighter to medium duty use.
What Makes Trellex PPU Stand Out?
Polyurethane + Steel Reinforcement = Strength & Durability
The Trellex PPU wear plates combine a robust polyurethane wear surface with a cast-in steel backing. This hybrid construction prevents small particles from migrating beneath the lining, ensures secure retention under abrasive stress, and helps keep the lining intact.
Designed for Sliding Wear Environments
Unlike linings built for heavy impact, Trellex PPU excels where material flow is accompanied by sliding abrasion, such as in chutes, bins, and channels. Its design minimizes frictional wear, making it ideal for many industrial and mining settings.
Noise & Vibration Reduction
Because Trellex PPU’s polyurethane surface dampens sound and vibration better than steel, its use contributes to a quieter operation and improved working conditions for onsite personnel.
Applications Where NorX Recommends Trellex PPU
• Chutes, spouts & transfer points — where material slides along surfaces
• Bins & hoppers — for protected flow and prolonged service life
• Channels & launders — controlling wear in sliding environments
• Low-impact, abrasive operations — where high-frequency impact is minimal but sliding wear dominates
Because Trellex PPU is lighter than equivalent steel liners and easier to handle, it’s suited for installations where weight or backing support is a concern.
Why NorX Is Your Trusted Supplier for Trellex PPU
At NorX, we don’t just sell wear parts, we become your partner in wear-management strategy. Here’s how we add value:
1. Expert selection & sizing
We analyze your wear environment, material characteristics, and flow dynamics to recommend the optimal PPU plate thickness, hardness, and fixation method.
2. Inventory & prompt delivery
We maintain a stock of standard Trellex PPU inventory and coordinate custom sizes with minimal lead time, ensuring minimal downtime for your operations.
3. Installation support & best practices
Our team provides guidance on bolt patterns, gapless installation, drilling templates, and torque specifications to ensure a proper, long-lasting installation.
4. Lifecycle & maintenance services
We help you monitor wear progression, plan replacements, and optimize total cost of ownership over time.
Maximizing ROI with Trellex PPU & NorX
• Reduced downtime — longer wear life and easier part replacement keep your lines running
• Lower maintenance costs — fewer shutdowns, less rework, fewer spare parts needed
• Improved worker safety — quieter, vibration-dampened equipment environment
• Better adaptability — modular design allows targeted replacements rather than swapping full liners
