Operators of a coal-fired power plant faced recurring failures in their fly ash pipeline, particularly at the bends. Original cast iron bends lasted just over a year, while ceramic tile replacements wore out within 3–12 months. Seeking a longer-lasting solution, the plant partnered with Kalenborn to supply 93 KALCOR-lined bends and laterals. To ensure compatibility, Kalenborn conducted precise on-site measurements to match existing pipeline connections. The components were delivered and installed with ease, fitting seamlessly into the current system. Early performance showed strong durability and customer satisfaction. With proven product quality and responsive technical support, Kalenborn has become a trusted supplier for wear protection in fly ash systems.

Kalenborn Named a Top Workplace in Indiana!
Kalenborn Abresist Corporation is proud to be recognized as the #2 Best Place to Work in Indiana (2025) in the small-medium business category by the Indiana Chamber of Commerce. This honor reflects our commitment to building a people-first culture where employee well-being drives our success. As a global leader in wear-resistant linings and corrosion protection, Kalenborn serves industries like mining, power, and steel with solutions that improve efficiency and equipment life. President Craig Frendewey sums it up best: “We are only as good as our people... this win is our report card from our team.”
Higher performance with fused cast basalt ABRESIST pipes.
An industrial plant struggled with frequent repairs, leaks, and high compressed air consumption due to thick-walled steel pneumatic pipelines. Kalenborn optimized the system by lining the pipes with ABRESIST fused cast basalt, significantly improving material flow, cutting compressed air use in half, and eliminating major wear for over a decade. The success has led to widespread adoption of ABRESIST in other plant areas and by additional power plant facilities seeking efficiency and long-term savings.
