In the metals and mining industry, equipment and infrastructure face extreme conditions, including exposure to heavy loads, abrasive materials, and corrosive environments. Sumip Composites’ GRP products are specifically designed to withstand these challenges. For example, our GRP cable trays can support loads up to 500 kg per meter, providing a robust and reliable solution for organizing electrical and communication cables in harsh mining environments.
GRP ladders and handrails are essential for maintaining safety in elevated areas where workers perform critical tasks. Designed to support up to 300 kg, our ladders offer secure access for personnel in mining operations, while handrails enhance stability and prevent falls. The lightweight nature of GRP makes installation easier, reducing labour costs and time. Additionally, the non-corrosive properties of GRP ensure that these safety features remain intact in environments prone to rust and deterioration.
In the mining sector, GRP enclosures play a vital role in protecting sensitive instruments and electrical equipment from dust, moisture, and chemical exposure. With an IP66 rating, these enclosures provide a high level of protection, ensuring that equipment operates reliably in challenging conditions. Furthermore, GRP conduits are engineered to withstand internal pressures of up to 12 bars, offering safe passage for electrical wiring while preventing damage from abrasive materials.
The introduction of Sumip Composites' GRP products can lead to significant improvements in safety and efficiency within the metals and mining industry. By mitigating risks associated with corrosion and environmental exposure, our solutions help reduce maintenance requirements and downtime. Data indicates that using GRP materials can result in maintenance cost savings of up to 25%, allowing mining companies to allocate resources more effectively. Overall, our GRP solutions enhance operational reliability while supporting a safer working environment in the demanding metals and mining sector.
