Wear Plates - Sliding System

Wear plates are important components in the building of industrial moulds. They contain graphite inserts, which reduce friction, wear and heat between sliding parts. They also act as a sacrificial part, taking the brunt of wear between moving parts and protecting other, more expensive components.

Overall, they protect and extend the working life of the mould, and reduce costly downtime by extending the time between maintenance and repairs - this create a more productive mould, with increased output. Reduced friction can also lead to better quality end products, as the part ejection becomes more consistent. Wear Plates are an essential component for building industrial moulds
