Wear protection and material types
Wear-resistant materials for industrial installations
Wear-resistant materials are used for protecting industrial installations and conveying systems against abrasive and impact wear.
Wherever bulk materials are in motion, wear can occur in pipelines, chutes, bunkers, cyclones and other installation components.
Profiltra supplies various wear-resistant materials for a wide range of wear and process conditions.
Reduction of maintenance and replacement costs
By applying suitable wear-resistant materials, maintenance and replacement costs can be reduced.
The materials contribute to longer service life, reduced downtime and improved protection of installations exposed to wear caused by abrasion, impact and temperature loads.
Different material types for different wear conditions
Within the range, different wear-resistant materials are available, including:
- PW-Fused basalt
- PW-Hard ceramic
- PW-Aluminium ceramic
- PW-Zirconium oxide ceramic
- PW-Silicon carbide ceramic
- PW-Concrete
Depending on the type of wear, temperature load and application, the appropriate material can be selected.
Industrial applications and process conditions
Suitable for a wide range of industrial applications
Wear-resistant materials are used within a wide range of industrial installations and conveying systems, including:
