Chute Liners for the Mining & Quarrying Industry
In mining and quarrying operations, material transfer points are exposed to high levels of abrasion, impact, and wear. To protect these critical zones and extend the service life of equipment, Chute Liners play a vital role. At Clifton Rubber, we manufacture heavy-duty rubber and polyurethane chute liners designed to withstand tough operating conditions, reduce maintenance, and improve efficiency across bulk material handling systems.
Whether you’re processing aggregates, coal, minerals, or ores, our liner solutions provide a reliable barrier between aggressive materials and your chute infrastructure.
Custom Chute Liner Manufacturer & Supplier for the Mining & Quarrying Industry
What Are Chute Liners?
Chute liners are protective linings installed inside material transfer chutes, hoppers, and feed points. Their main function is to absorb the abrasive and impact forces caused by high-speed material flow. Without effective protection, steel chutes can wear out quickly, leading to equipment failure, unscheduled downtime, and costly repairs.
Clifton Rubber’s chute liners are manufactured from premium rubber and polyurethane compounds, tailored to specific applications for maximum durability and performance.
Use of Chute Liners in Mining & Quarrying
Transfer Chutes
When crushed stone, coal, or ore is conveyed and transferred from one belt or stage to another, it impacts transfer chutes with significant force. Our liners absorb this impact, minimising structural wear.
Feed Hoppers
At the start of the process, material is often dumped into hoppers using heavy machinery. Chute liners cushion this impact and resist abrasion from angular, high-density aggregates.
Vibrating Feeders
Chute liners in feeders help ensure smooth material flow while withstanding constant vibration and contact with coarse materials.
Loading Points and Discharge Zones
Critical areas, such as loading or discharge points, see the most aggressive wear. Installing Clifton Rubber liners in these zones helps preserve the metal structure underneath and maintains continuous operation.
What Solutions Do We Provide?
Rubber and Polyurethane Lining Sheets
We offer a range of rubber and polyurethane sheet materials designed for high wear resistance and flexibility. These sheets can be bonded or mechanically fixed to the surface of chutes and hoppers.
Custom-Moulded Liner Panels
For more complex shapes and applications, we manufacture moulded chute liner panels to exact dimensions, ensuring a precise fit and optimal protection.
Modular Liner Systems
Clifton Rubber’s modular chute liner systems are easy to install and replace, offering reduced downtime during maintenance. Sections can be swapped out individually without removing the entire liner.
Impact and Noise Reduction
Our rubber-based liners not only resist wear but also dampen noise and vibration, creating a safer and quieter working environment.
Anti-Stick Properties
Some chute liner formulations are designed to reduce material build-up and sticking, improving flow rates and reducing the need for cleaning or manual intervention.
