Wear resistant lining are used to enhance the mechanical, pneumatic and hydraulic conveyance of highly abrasive materials.

Our trained personnel deliver quality work on plate work and pipe components. A range of 6mm to 50mm thick industrial Ceramic installation of high-quality abrasion- and impact-resistant solutions that increase the component life of your conveyance hardware and equipment, maximizing the performance and profitability of your plant is now available at SOLHAR in Kimberley and Botswana.

Stainless steels are notable for their corrosion resistance, which increases with increasing chromium content.

Additions of molybdenum increase corrosion resistance in reducing acids and against pitting attack in chloride solutions. Thus, there are numerous grades of stainless steel with varying chromium and molybdenum contents to suit the environment the alloy must endure. Stainless steel’s resistance to corrosion and staining, low maintenance, and familiar lustre make it an ideal material for many applications where both the strength of steel and corrosion resistance are required.

Stainless steels are rolled into sheets, plates, bars, wire, and tubing to be used in cookware, cutlery, surgical instruments, major appliances and as construction material in large buildings.
Our CNC plasma division serves the option to cut sheets sized 3m x 6m and piping ranges from 50NB to 600NB x 6m long in size.

Fabrication of all plate work/structural steel is available under one roof as we have 1600m2 under roof cover with overhead crane facility and a plasma division for making sure that fitment of such items is exact and secure for ease of installation on-site.

We strive to ensure that this is in a controlled environment running a Quality Control Plan known as a data pack for large projects to ensure that clients receive what they have requested. With qualified and motivated personnel we are geared for complex works and tight delivery timeframes.

Experience of small, medium and large projects, we are able to assist with a wide range of services.
Lining of chutes/plate work are also readily available with secure CNC capabilities up to 40mm thick plate and 6m x 3m wide bed. A 25ton mobile crane is available for installation purpose. 

With the only 3D CNC pipe cutting facility in the Northern Cape we are able to fabricate small to large bore spool pieces, tee piece and even lobster bends in record time accurately with great cost saving to the client. CNC cutting range is from 50NB to 600NB with larger pipes also being fabricated.

With the only 3D CNC pipe cutting facility in the Northern Cape we are able to fabricate small to large bore spool pieces, tee piece and even lobster bends in record time accurately with great cost saving to the client. CNC cutting range is from 6m long x 50NB to 600NB diameter.

HDPE are successfully used in a variety of applications in the Civil, Agricultural, Municipal, Mining and Industrial sectors. Because of the good chemical resistance and abrasion resistance properties they are also extensively used in chemical, waste and slurry applications.

We are capable of manufacturing lobster bends, pulled bend, tee pieces etc. Our range of HDPE welding on site or overland is from 90 OD up to 450 OD HDPE piping on-site. Larger diameter sizes to be manufactured in our Kimberley workshop. A 25ton mobile crane is available for installation purposes.

Our sandblast facility allows steel to be prepared at Swedish SA 2.5 standard using various shot blasting grit depending on requirement. This prepares the surfaces for high quality coating applications to be applied for longer lasting solutions.

SOLHAR have also secured the option of supplying high quality industrial paint in the Kimberley region. As STONCOR distributor in Kimberley, our corrosion resistant coatings include the Carboline, Alumanation, Mathys/Noxyde/Rust-Oleum range. Contact the offices for ordering paint.

Structural steel is a category of steel used for construction purposes, known for its strength and durability. It’s often used in the construction of buildings, bridges, and other large structures due to its ability to support heavy loads. The properties of structural steel can be customized through heat treatment and alloying, allowing it to meet specific engineering requirements.

Ready-mix concrete, also known as Pre-mix cement, is a type of cement that is manufactured in a batch plant, then delivered to a work site in a ready-to-use form. This is particularly useful in large construction projects, as it saves time and labor compared to mixing cement manually on-site. The mixture is made according to specific proportions, ensuring consistent quality and properties.

SOLHAR handles wear resistant lining to suit mining/plant requirements enhancing the mechanical, pneumatic and hydraulic conveyance of highly abrasive materials.
Situated in Kimberley we have a range of options for lining including the cut thereof by means of our CNC plasma division:
• High Brinell strength plate with a nominal hardness of 60 HRC (Rockwell) and typical hardness of 650-700 HBW
• Wear plates comprise a base plate of construction steel and a wear resistant coating applied by arc welding, offering exceptional resistance to abrasive wear. Also known as “Over-lay” plate.
• Hi wear round bars are versatile, ready-to-use, abrasion-resistant steels that combine high toughness, good bendability and good weld ability. They come in diameters between 40 and 100 mm and lengths up to 5000 mm, and feature the same guaranteed properties as the wear plate.
• Rubber-back liners are manufactured from durable polyurethane, rubber with a metal back fusion for installation onto steel chutes.

Thermal spraying is a process that involves projecting melted or heated materials onto a surface to form a coating. This can provide various surface properties such as resistance to wear, erosion, corrosion, or heat. It’s used in various industries for repair, overhaul of damaged components, or preventative wear resistance and corrosion management. It’s not to be confused with spray painting, which is a process of applying paint to a surface using an air-pressurized spray gun.
