Strudex Powers Up: New Dedicated Polyurethane Production Line Unveiled to Drive Innovation in Mining & Industrial Solutions

Strudex, a forward-thinking manufacturer of high-wear components for the global mining and bulk material handling industries, today announced a landmark expansion of its manufacturing capabilities. The company has successfully commissioned a new, state-of-the-art polyurethane production line at its renovated facility, a strategic move designed to accelerate product innovation and enhance service delivery for its worldwide clientele.

This significant capital investment is a direct response to growing market demand for more durable, efficient, and application-specific wear solutions. By bringing advanced polyurethane production capabilities in-house, Strudex gains unprecedented control over material formulation, prototyping speed, and manufacturing quality for a key class of products.

Engineered for Flexibility and Scale

The newly launched line is a cornerstone of Strudex's strategy, featuring a dual-unit configuration engineered to meet the diverse needs of its industrial partners:

*   Unit A: Optimized for high-volume output, this unit operates at a rate of 15-30 kg per minute. It is designed for the efficient manufacturing of large components and sustained production runs for established product lines.

*   Unit B: Dedicated to precision and agility, this unit handles outputs of 1-5 kg per minute. It enables rapid prototyping, small-batch production for specialized applications, and the creation of complex, tailored parts without the constraints of minimum order quantities.

"This dual-capacity setup is a game-changer for us and our clients," said Yang Yu, Strudex vice general manager. "It allows us to seamlessly shift from producing standard components at scale to developing customized, next-generation solutions—all under one roof with rigorous quality control. The decision to expand production line capacity is rooted in our commitment to being a more responsive and innovative partner."

Focus on Next-Generation Wear Solutions

The primary focus of this new production capacity will be the development and manufacture of advanced polyurethane-based wear parts. Initial production will center on enhancing Strudex's flagship offerings for material handling systems, notably:

*   High-Performance Conveyor Belt Cleaners: Utilizing proprietary formulations of PU blades, Strudex aims to set a new industry standard for wear life and cleaning efficiency. These next-generation cleaners are engineered to reduce maintenance downtime, prevent material carryback, and extend the life of conveyor belts—a critical factor in minimizing operational costs in mining and processing plants.

*   Specialized Polyurethane Components: Beyond cleaners, the line will produce a wide array of polyurethane screens, liners, flotation impellers and wear-resistant parts. The ability to fine-tune material properties—such as hardness, elasticity, and abrasion resistance—allows Strudex to create solutions perfectly matched to specific material types and operating environments.

Driving Value for the Mining and Industrial Sectors

The commissioning of this line translates into tangible benefits for Strudex's clients across the mining, quarrying, and cement sectors:

1.  Faster Time-to-Market: Reduced reliance on external suppliers for key polyurethane items significantly shortens lead times for both standard and custom products.

2.  Enhanced Product Innovation: In-house R&D teams can now iterate designs and material compositions rapidly, accelerating the development of more effective solutions for challenging applications, from primary crusher discharges to terminal conveyor systems.

3.  Improved Supply Chain Resilience: Vertical integration of this core production process strengthens Strudex's supply chain, ensuring greater reliability and consistency for global customers.

4.  Superior Technical Collaboration: With full control over the production process, Strudex's engineering team can work more closely with clients to diagnose wear problems and co-create optimized components.

A Foundation for Future Growth

The launch of the polyurethane production line is more than a capacity increase; it represents a strategic pivot towards integrated, solution-driven manufacturing. It provides the essential foundation for Strudex's roadmap, which includes further investment in automation and advanced material science.

"We are excited to announce this significant step forward," the spokesperson added. "This new capability is a direct investment in the future of our clients' operations. It empowers us to develop the high-performance, durable solutions that the industry demands to improve efficiency and productivity. Follow Strudex to be the first to discover how these new capabilities will translate into the next generation of industrial wear solutions."
