Trusted Plastic Component Solutions For The Mining Industry
For decades, Diversified Plastics Inc. has worked with industry-leading OEMs, engineers, equipment maintenance techs, purchasing agents, and distributors to develop long-lasting, cost-effective plastic components for mining equipment. When it comes to harsh conditions and the need for durable, corrosion-resistant plastic components, mining is at the top of the list. Our engineered plastic solutions are designed to withstand the demanding environments of mining filtration equipment, conveying systems, and water clarifiers.
What Plastic Components Are Used in Mining Equipment?
DPI parts such as Disc Filter Sectors, bushings, bearings, sprockets, and wear pads benefit from plastic’s inherent properties in mining and water clarification applications: lower friction, higher impact strength, corrosion resistance, and energy efficiency.
DPI manufactures and supplies custom-engineered plastics components for mining applications like filtration, separation, process equipment, and conveying systems. Our plastic parts are designed for optimal performance across the entire mining operation, including both underground and open-pit mining.
From engineering and testing to final production, DPI applies decades of experience to help specify the right plastics material for your application. We offer versatility across polymers and manufacturing processes, providing cost-effective solutions using our full range of capabilities under one roof.
DPI manufactures standard and custom components for mining filtration, conveying, and process equipment.
