SARCERGOM & SARCERGOM SHIELD

SARO anti-wear solutions for high-energy impacts

SARCERGOM is the anti-wear system developed by SARO for the protection of structures and components subjected to strong impacts, abrasion, and high mechanical aggression in industrial processes dedicated to the handling of bulk and abrasive materials. SARCERGOM technology was born from the need to combine:

high surface hardness
shock absorption capacity
abrasion resistance
reduction of vibrations and noise

The system is created through the vulcanisation of wear-resistant ceramic elements within an abrasion-resistant technical rubber matrix, resulting in a composite solution capable of operating effectively even in the most demanding applications. The presence of rubber allows for:

dissipate impact energy
reduce stress on structures
limit vibration and noise propagation
protect metal supports from localised damage

The integrated ceramic, in turn, ensures:

very high abrasion resistance
long service life even with highly aggressive materials

SARCERGOM is used in particular on:

hoppers and material loading points
chutes and transfer channels
material conveying systems
vibrating screens and screening plants
high-energy impact points
silos and discharge systems
mining plants, cement plants, steelworks and waste treatment

The areas most subject to wear are:

material drop points
surfaces subject to continuous impacts
areas subject to vibrations and mechanical stress
surfaces exposed to severe abrasion and erosion

SARCERGOM provides the following product characteristics:

INSTRUCTIONS FOR USE

Surface Preparation

Surface preparation is important for the long-term performance of the product. The parameters can vary depending on the severity of the application, expected service life, and initial conditions of the substrates to be treated.

Remove any dirt, oil, grease etc. with a suitable detergent.
Any irregularities, weld splashes or residue, and any other surface roughness must be levelled and ground smooth; any depressions or porosity must be filled and ground smooth.
Blast the entire surface to be treated with angular grit until you achieve roughness of 50-70 microns, and near-white metal blast cleaning level (SIS SA 2½ /SSPC-SP 10). For immersion applications, a white metal blast cleaning (SIS SA 3/SSPC-SP 5) level is required.
After abrasive blasting, the metal surface must be cleaned with a cleaner which does not leave residue, or with a solvent, to remove dust and contaminants. Clean, dry compressed air can also be used to remove dust and contaminants. The surface must be coated before any new oxidation occurs.

SARCERGOM

SARCERGOM is supplied in standard panels with dimensions of 340 x 340 mm and various thicknesses, selected according to operating conditions and the level of aggression of the treated material. The modularity of the system allows for:

easy installation
quick replacement
adaptability to different plant geometries
reduced maintenance times

SARO also produces special panels designed for specific applications, developed based on the customer's operational needs and the plant's characteristics.

SARCERGOM Shield

SARCERGOM Shield represents the evolution of the SARCERGOM system for applications characterised by extreme wear and high-energy impacts. The Shield configuration is designed to ensure:

greater structural protection
high resistance to concentrated impacts
longer service life
advanced protection of the most critical points of the plant

The system is developed for applications where abrasion, erosion, and impact act simultaneously, ensuring maximum reliability even in the most severe operating conditions. SARCERGOM solutions are designed considering:

SARCERGOM Shield comes in a 230x250 mm format with a thickness of 35 mm, or custom sizes upon request for large quantities (>300 pcs).

grain size and abrasiveness of the material
impact energy
material drop height
flow speed and dynamics
plant geometry
operating conditions and continuity of service

The goal is:

protect structures subject to heavy impact wear
extend the service life of components
reduce maintenance and plant downtime
limit vibration and noise
improve operating continuity and plant efficiency

Thanks to the combination of wear-resistant ceramic and high-strength technical rubber, SARCERGOM and SARCERGOM Shield represent advanced SARO solutions for protecting industrial plants operating in highly aggressive mechanical environments.
