Magnetic Wear Patches
Fast, flexible wear protection for chutes, hoppers and transfer points where downtime is not an option.
Fast, no-weld protection for high-wear areas
Magnetic wear patches are a fast and simple way to protect high wear areas without welding, cutting or extended downtime.
Each patch uses strong magnets to clamp a rubber wear surface to the steelwork. When the wear area moves, the patch can be repositioned or swapped out in minutes.
They are ideal for temporary repairs, preventative protection on known wear points, and situations where getting a welder on site is difficult or time consuming.
No Welding or Cutting
Install patches without hot work permits, welding, or surface preparation. Clamp them in place and put the area back into service quickly.
Install in Minutes
Patches can be fitted, moved or replaced during short stops. This helps keep production running while you plan permanent repairs.
Secure Magnet Hold
High strength magnets keep the patch in place under vibration and impact when installed on clean steel surfaces.
How Magnetic Wear Patches Work
Magnetic wear patches use a strong magnetic backing to clamp a rubber or rubber–ceramic wear surface onto clean steel – no welding or hot work needed.
- Rubber patches: flexible, impact-absorbing protection for general wear areas.
- Rubber–ceramic patches: ceramic-tiled for higher abrasion resistance in more aggressive wear zones.
Both types install in minutes and can be moved or replaced as wear patterns shift.
Best used for: protecting mild–moderate wear areas, covering hotspots, extending lining life between shutdowns, or providing temporary protection until permanent linings are installed.
They are not a substitute for full ceramic or epoxy linings in extreme wear, but are highly effective for short-term protection and planned maintenance windows.
Where Magnetic Wear Patches Work Best
Magnetic patches are used across mining and bulk materials handling operations wherever steel surfaces are exposed to abrasion and impact.
Typical applications include:
- Transfer chutes
- Conveyor skirting and load zones
- Bin and hopper walls
- Impact points beneath feed chutes
- Temporary repairs during shutdowns
- Protecting known wear points while waiting for permanent lining

Frequently Asked Questions
Will magnetic wear patches stay in place under vibration?
When installed on clean steel surfaces, the magnets provide a strong clamping force to keep the patch in place under normal operating vibration. If you have a high impact or high vibration area, our team can help determine if magnetic patches are suitable.
Are they a permanent solution?
Magnetic patches are best treated as a temporary or semi permanent option. They are ideal for covering known wear points, protecting equipment between shutdowns, and trialling different configurations before committing to a full lining system.
Can I cut or trim a patch on site?
In most cases patches should be used in their supplied size and shape. If you need a different size or profile, talk to us about available options before modifying any product.
What preparation is needed before installation?
The steel surface should be reasonably clean and free from heavy scale, product build up, or thick coatings. This helps the magnets sit flat and maintain full holding force.
