ABRESIST
Fused cast basalt
ABRESIST fused cast basalt has proven extremely effective as a protective lining in pipes and in pipe bends. Installed pipe cylinders reduce wear significantly in both pneumatic and hydraulic conveyor lines.
ABRESIST is a mineral material made of fused cast basalt for plant components in which the conveyed material mainly causes frictional wear – e.g. in bunkers, gutters, chutes, hoppers, mixers, classifiers, and cyclones as well as pipes and bends.
The wear-resistant material is characterized by high compressive strength and very high abrasion resistance in combination with a certain impact strength. It is used wherever aggressive bulk materials such as ore, sand, gravel, slate, sinter, or similar materials are transported or stored.
The sliding properties are comparable to those of polyethylene (PE) plastics. In contrast to plastic, however, the mineral material is a natural product and is therefore fully recyclable and provides lasting protection for nature.
