When Rio-Carb engineers a solution for a specific requirement or application, it automatically looks at how it can be implemented elsewhere. This is of significant benefit to the entire mining industry as it strives to cope with the long-term problem of chute and screen wear, which impacts on productivity and maintenance costs. Project houses have traditionally focused on cost, which does not always equate to the best solution.

Rio-Carb of Alrode, Johannesburg is repositioning itself as a total solutions provider, based on promoting Chromium Carbide as providing the lowest total cost of ownership for complete wear solutions in the mining industry.
