Why Choose Rubber?

While steel liners have long been the industry standard, are proving to be a game changer in the field. Our customers are seeing up to double the wear life compared to traditional steel options. That means fewer changeouts, less downtime, and better long-term value.

Key Benefits:

• Extended Wear Life: Rubber naturally absorbs impact and resists abrasion, allowing these liners to last twice as long in many applications.

• Noise Reduction: The rubber construction significantly dampens noise during operation, creating a quieter and safer environment for your crew.

• Flexible Configuration: Whether you prefer a one-piece or two-piece setup, we have you covered for both 5.5’ and 7’ Symons crushers.

Built for Performance

Our rubber feed cone liners are engineered to handle the demands of tough crushing applications while delivering long-term durability and performance. ����’s just another way Mellott is helping our customers get more life from their equipment and improve their bottom line.
