Quarry equipment specialist Ace Arc has won a third order in Malaysia for its armour plating to protect heavy duty excavation gear against wear.
Quarry equipment specialist Ace Arc has won a third order in Malaysia for its armour plating to protect heavy duty excavation gear against wear.
The Coalville, Leicestershire, firm has shipped 50m2 of chromium carbide wearplate to its distributor in Malaysia.
Ace managing director Frank Fairbrother said: "We are trying to build the export business, and Malaysia is one of several areas where we are succeeding".
This is the third order that the company has won from Dualrank, one of Malaysia's largest distributors of wear-resistant products and services, which sells about GBP 100,000 worth of Ace Arc wearplate a year.
Dualrank, which supplies the cement, glass, mining and palm oil industries, undertook a worldwide search to identify a wearplate to develop under its own Star brand name before selecting Ace Arc.
Other recent export successes for Ace Arc include the Gulf where the company's rust-resistant wearplate is used to protect dredgers building a luxury water resort and Norway where its conveyor belt cleaning system is picking up new orders.
Ace is also doing well in Europe through its Dutch partner company.
Ace Arc wearplate comprises a chromium carbide overlay material fused to a mild steel backing plate.
During the computer-controlled manufacturing process, a homogenous layer is formed between the welded surface and the backing plate, creating a very strong metallurgical bond.
The result is an extremely abrasion resistant wearplate with a typical hardness of 58-62RC.
To ensure optimum high-wear resistance, chrome levels combined with the size and distribution of the carbide content, are carefully formulated to achieve material compositions providing maximum wear life.
Various grades of chromium carbide plate are manufactured to meet the most demanding of applications covering heavy abrasion, high temperatures, chemical attack or corrosion.
Production is carried out within closely monitored parameters - more than 25 separate checks are made on hardness and thickness during manufacture to guarantee consistent product quality and ensure ISO9002 quality standards are met.
Ace 600 wearplate can be supplied in a range of sizes and thickness, with optional thickness ratios of hardfacing to backing plate also available on thicknesses over 10mm.
