Innova do Brasil: excellence in performance with QUARD and QUEND

News  -  27 Mar 2025

In demanding environments such as construction, steelmaking, and material handling, the robustness of equipment is a key success factor. Innova do Brasil, a specialist in designing and manufacturing wear-resistant equipment, fully leverages the strength of QUARD and QUEND steels to provide tailored solutions for its clients.

 

Solutions Designed for Extreme Conditions

At Innova do Brasil, a wide range of equipment is designed using QUARD and QUEND, covering numerous industrial applications. Below are just a few representative examples that perfectly illustrate how our steels enhance the durability and performance of equipment in severe operating conditions:

– High-Strength Dump Bodies for the Mining Sector
Innova’s dump bodies are made from QUARD 450 and 500 steel, ensuring exceptional abrasion resistance and extended service life. By optimizing thickness, these dump bodies are lighter while maintaining outstanding robustness, reducing fuel consumption, and increasing payload capacity.

– Heavy Duty, Extreme Duty, and HotWork Buckets
To meet the challenges of the most demanding environments, Innova has developed a range of specialized buckets:
●  HD (Heavy Duty): Designed to withstand impact and abrasion.
●  XD (Extreme Duty): Enhanced protection for the most demanding operations.
●  HotWork: Buckets specifically designed for transporting high-temperature materials, combining mechanical strength with optimal heat dissipation.

– Blades for Loaders: Increased Durability, Reduced Maintenance
QUARD 450 and 500 blades offer superior resistance to abrasive materials, reducing wear and minimizing downtime for replacements. This extended lifespan translates directly into lower operating costs.
