Custom Powder Coating for Mining Equipment

At Rocket Powder Coating, we know that mining equipment operates in some of the harshest environments on Earth. From abrasive dust and extreme moisture to constant impacts and heavy loads, your haul trucks, loaders, drills, and conveyors are under nonstop stress. Without the right surface protection, rust, corrosion, and wear can significantly reduce equipment lifespan and lead to costly downtime. That’s where our custom powder coating for mining equipment can help.

Our custom powder coating services are designed to provide mining equipment with unmatched durability, corrosion resistance, and visual appeal. By applying advanced coatings engineered for heavy industrial use, we ensure your machinery is protected from the elements and operational hazards, while also enhancing safety and maintaining professional appearance standards.

Why Powder Coating is Ideal for Mining Equipment

When it comes to protecting mining equipment, powder coating stands out as a superior choice. Its robust benefits ensure longevity, performance, and more.

Extreme Durability

Mining equipment is exposed to repeated impacts, constant abrasion, and harsh weather. Powder coating forms a thick, bonded layer that resists chipping, scratching, and surface degradation better than traditional paint.

Corrosion Resistance

From underground moisture to surface-level rain and humidity, corrosion is a major threat to mining equipment. Our coatings create a protective barrier that prevents rust and oxidation, even in highly corrosive environments.

UV and Chemical Protection

Mining operations often involve chemicals, fuels, and prolonged sun exposure. Powder coating shields against chemical damage and UV fading, keeping your equipment strong and looking sharp.

Cost Efficiency

With powder coating, mining equipment requires fewer repaints and less surface maintenance over its lifetime, saving you both time and money.

Environmentally Friendly Process

Our process contains no harmful solvents or VOCs, making it safer for your team and the environment.

Types of Mining Equipment We Service

We offer tailored powder coating solutions for a wide range of mining equipment, each with its own performance and protection requirements. We take into account the size, operating conditions, and material flow patterns of each machine to ensure our coatings provide full coverage and lasting durability.

Haul trucks are the heavy lifters of mining, hauling immense loads across rocky, uneven terrain. These giants face relentless punishment from the environment and their own cargo. Our powder coating:

  • Protects steel frames, beds, undercarriages, and dump bodies from moisture, road salt, and abrasive rock dust.
  • Minimizes damage from sharp, heavy materials constantly impacting surfaces.
  • Offers high-visibility safety color schemes and reflective options to increase site safety.
  • Resists damage from fuel, hydraulic oil, and chemical spills common in mining yards.

Loaders endure constant scooping, lifting, and dumping cycles. Their buckets, booms, and frames see repetitive stress daily. We:

  • Apply abrasion-resistant coatings to buckets and cutting edges.
  • Guard hydraulic arm housings and pins against rust and pitting.
  • Provide custom color finishes to meet fleet branding and OSHA safety guidelines.
  • Coat protective cages, guards, and operator cabins to improve longevity and aesthetics.

Rotary drills, blast-hole rigs, and portable drill units operate in vibration-heavy, dust-filled environments:

  • Our coatings resist fine dust abrasion and constant impact.
  • Shield drill frames, masts, and gearbox housings from corrosion, even when exposed to water or chemicals.
  • High-visibility and reflective finishes improve visibility underground and in low-light conditions.
  • Smooth finishes make cleaning faster and help reveal cracks or wear during inspections.

Mining conveyors transport ton after ton of material, often operating 24/7:

  • Coatings protect structural frames, supports, safety rails, and guards from rust and wear.
  • Extend the life of rollers, housings, and chutes.
  • Smooth surfaces reduce the buildup of sticky or dusty materials.
  • Color coding helps identify safety zones and maintenance areas quickly.

Crushers, screens, feeders, and separators are exposed to extreme vibration and continuous abrasion:

  • Powder coating resists chipping from falling rock and sharp ore.
  • Prevents rust and scaling in humid or wet processing facilities.
  • High-temperature formulations protect heat-exposed components.
  • Smooth, cleanable surfaces aid in fast sanitation between production runs.

Storage tanks for water, fuel, or chemicals are vulnerable to both external weather and internal corrosion:

  • Interior and exterior coatings defend against rust and chemical degradation.
  • Specialized chemical-resistant finishes prevent breakdown from stored materials.
  • Custom colors and stenciling improve identification and safety labeling.
  • Strong coatings delay structural weakening and extend tank life.

Silos storing aggregates, ore, or powdered materials face abrasion, moisture, and temperature swings:

  • Protective coatings resist corrosion from weather and airborne dust.
  • Reinforce weld seams and joints to avoid leaks and cracks.
  • Bright exterior finishes enhance visibility and meet safety requirements.
  • Smooth interior finishes help maintain consistent flow and prevent clogs.

Maintaining Your Coated Mining Equipment

Rocket Powder Coating is the leading provider of custom powder coating services for retail store fixtures in Minnesota and Wisconsin. We’ve helped countless retailers refresh their interiors, upgrade their store designs, and extend the life of their fixtures. Here’s why businesses choose us:

Use water or gentle detergents to wash away abrasive dust, mud, and debris that can degrade coatings over time.

Perform detailed checks for chips, cracks, blisters, or wear—especially around impact zones, joints, and moving parts.

When possible, store idle equipment under shelter or covers to minimize exposure to rain, snow, and direct UV rays.

Use only cleaning agents labeled safe for powder-coated surfaces to avoid weakening the finish.

Address coating damage immediately with touch-ups or recoating to prevent corrosion from spreading beneath the surface.

Educate operators on minimizing unnecessary surface impacts, avoiding collisions, and following maintenance schedules.

In colder climates, remove corrosive road salts quickly; in hot climates, check more often for UV fading or drying cracks.

By combining our industrial-grade powder coating with a proactive care routine, your mining equipment will remain protected, functional, and visually impressive even in the most demanding conditions.
