Faster Liner Replacements with Magnetic Urethane Liners: How a Modular Design Simplified Weigh Hopper Maintenance

01. The Challenge

The customer operates ready-mix concrete plants where weigh hoppers are used to measure sand and aggregate before batching. The application required a liner system that could withstand abrasive wear while enabling faster, more efficient liner replacement during maintenance.

02. The Solution

Buffalo recommended Magnetic Urethane Liners for the weigh hopper application because of their ease of replacement. To fit the hopper geometry, Buffalo designed a custom modular liner system with detailed installation drawings, allowing individual liner sections to be manufactured, installed, and replaced as needed without replacing the entire liner package.

03. The Result

The custom magnetic liner system delivered a maintenance-friendly solution that has been successfully adopted across multiple operations.

  • Successful implementation at three locations
  • Individual liner sections can be replaced in approximately two hours
  • Simplified maintenance through a modular liner design
  • Reduced replacement time compared to traditional one-piece liner systems
