Cast basalt lining for ducts and pipes
Lining of trays, chutes and pipes with basalt casting offers significant advantages in a variety of industrial applications. Cast basalt lining is created by casting molten basalt into the desired shape, which creates a very strong and wear resistant lining material. Here are some types of cast basalt lining and their advantages:
1) Cast basalt tiles. Cast basalt tiles are commonly used for lining trays and chutes. These tiles may be custom sized and shaped to suit specific equipment configurations. The advantages of using cast basalt tiles include:
- Exceptional wear resistance: Cast basalt tiles provide excellent resistance to abrasion, erosion and impact, protecting key equipment from wear and tear and extending its life.
- Corrosion resistance: cast basalt is highly resistant to corrosion from acids, alkalis and many chemicals, making it suitable for environments with corrosive gases, liquids or slurries.
- High Temperature Resistance: Cast basalt tiles can withstand high temperatures, making them suitable for hot gas or material applications.
- Non-magnetic properties: cast basalt does not contain metal and is not magnetic, which can be considered a definite advantage in cases where the technological process is based on magnetism, for example in magnetic separators.
2) Cast basalt lining of pipes and nozzles. In addition to tiles, cast basalt can also be used to create cylindrical pipe lining segments of any shape and size. Among the advantages of using cast basalt for pipe lining are the following:
- Smooth inner surface: The cast basalt lining of pipes and nozzles has a smooth inner surface, which reduces material buildup and ensures smooth flow, minimizing the risk of clogging and thus increasing work efficiency.
- Superior abrasion resistance: Cast basalt pipe and spigot linings offer exceptional resistance to abrasion, providing long service life and reducing maintenance and replacement costs.
- Chemical resistance: cast basalt is chemically inert and resistant to a wide range of chemicals, making it suitable for applications where corrosive substances are present.
- Thermal Insulation: Cast basalt pipe linings have excellent thermal insulation properties, which can be beneficial in applications where temperature control is required.
The advantages of using cast basalt lining in various industries are its high wear resistance, excellent chemical resistance, thermal stability and low maintenance requirements. Cast basalt lining can significantly reduce equipment downtime, increase operating efficiency, and provide long-term protection against wear and corrosion.
It is important to note that the specific type of cast basalt lining for trays, chutes and pipes, as well as the method of its installation, may vary depending on the application and specific requirements of the equipment.
