Our Story

From a single furnace to a global wear-parts partner

Company records trace casting operations in Luoyang to 1992, beginning with small ball-mill liners under the Songshan Steelmaking Plant name. The documented operation later expanded its casting, heat-treatment, machining and export capabilities for quarry, mining, cement and recycling applications.

Under the ZHILI® WEARPARTS brand, the published range includes crusher hammers, HSI blow bars, jaw plates, cone mantles and concaves, grinding-mill liners, roller-press wear parts, heat-resistant castings and grinding balls. Candidate ceramic-composite routes are reviewed against the actual part geometry, operating duty and agreed acceptance criteria.

Company records document an SSAB Hardox® authorization dated 2017, Duroxite® hardfacing capability and five invention patents. Today these records are used as historical evidence, while material, source, inspection documents and warranty terms are confirmed for the actual application and order.

FACTORY TOURS & INSPECTION

We don't just ship samples. We show you the foundry.

This is how a Spanish cement plant buyer verified his first order. He flew to Luoyang, walked our sand-casting floor, inspected the material test certificates, and watched his own crusher hammer heads come out of the water-toughening quench before they ever touched a pallet.

Before production, buyers can agree the required visibility for alloy melting, heat treatment, hardness testing and packing records.

Crusher wear parts FAQ

Common questions from procurement teams, plant managers, and maintenance engineers.

What materials are available for crusher wear parts?
Candidate routes include manganese steel, high-chrome iron, bimetal, TIC or ceramic composites, alloy steel, Ni-Hard and CADI. Company materials also document Hardox® plate-processing history. Final grade, source and suitability are confirmed from the actual duty and order specification.
How do I confirm a part fits my crusher?
Send the make, model and available part reference. The search can also start from an approved drawing, an identified sample or photographs with verified critical dimensions. A model alone is not a fitment release.
What is the typical lead time?
The quotation confirms lead time after stock or pattern status, alloy, quantity, heat treatment, machining, inspection and transport are reviewed.
What is your minimum order quantity?
Trial and single-piece requests can be reviewed. Feasibility and minimum quantity depend on part weight, tooling, casting route, machining and packing and are stated in the quotation.
Do you ship to my country?
Company records document exports across multiple regions. Destination, Incoterm, packing, transport and required export documents are confirmed for each quotation and shipment.
What certifications do you hold?
The site publishes a GICG ISO 9001:2015 certificate issued in 2024 with a stated scope of sales of equipment parts, a historical Hardox authorization record dated 2017, and records of five invention patents. Order-specific material and inspection documents are supplied when agreed in the purchase specification.
Can you produce custom parts from our drawings?
Yes. Send the controlled PDF or DWG with revision, datums, interfaces, tolerances and required inspection points. Engineering identifies missing information and reviews candidate material routes before quotation.
How do I get a quotation?
Use the Quote page to send the machine, part reference, quantity, duty and available drawing or photographs. Specifications, price and response timing depend on the information and review scope.

Warranty terms are agreed for each order.

Manufacturing-defect remedies and the required material or inspection records are defined in the quotation, order specification and agreed warranty terms.
