Effective Wear Protection for Industrial Plants

Wear protection is environmental protection. We help our customers to operate sustainably. Kalenborn develops and manufactures custom-fit linings for the protection of industrial plants against abrasion and impact wear. With our wear-resistant materials and pipe systems and wear protection for industrial plants, we secure the flow of materials and protect our customers’ production from premature downtimes. We use special processes for lining so that our customers can reuse their plant components. This saves resources in steel construction and reduces CO2 emissions to protect the environment. We act sustainably across the entire value chain. We use environmentally friendly energies in the manufacture of our products and, with basalt and ceramics, rely on natural materials that can be regenerated.

Kalenborn manufactured a rotary distributor for slag sand and lined it with Kalocer to protect it against wear. The rotary distributor is a plant component in the steel industry and is used for slag sand processing. The slag sand mixture is fed through an S-bend into the rotary distributor, which directs the slag sand mixture into the dewatering silos below. Kalenborn lined the S-bend and rotary distributor with Kalocer aluminium oxide ceramic. The ceramic moulded parts could be adapted particularly well to the demanding geometry of the rotary distributor. Kalocer protects the system parts from the extreme friction wear of the slag-sand mixture, and the smooth surfaces of the ceramic promote the transport of the slag mixture. The old rotary distributor was Kalenborn’s original equipment and had been in successful use for over 20 years. Kalenborn ensured its long service life with regular maintenance of the wear protection. As part of the relining of the blast furnace, the order for the new rotary distributor was placed. This included the production of the steel part as

The cyclones supplied by Kalenborn have an excellent service life against wear thanks to their lining with KALMETALL chromium carbide plates and matching KALOCER aluminum oxide ceramic fittings. Separators are of great importance in many branches of industry. One of the most important steps in the manufacturing process in the food, energy, metallurgy and recycling industries is the separation of bulk materials. Their intensive use means that entire systems or individual elements wear out quickly. The cyclones supplied by Kalenborn have an excellent service life against wear thanks to their lining with KALMETALL chromium carbide plates and matching KALOCER aluminum oxide ceramic fittings. The combination of materials makes these system components resistant not only to abrasion, but also to corrosion and chemical influences.

Good wear protection is important because the materials are often abrasive. Conveyor screws play an important role in various recycling processes and offer efficient solutions for transporting and handling materials. Good wear protection is important because the materials are often abrasive. The selection of wear-resistant materials depends on various factors, such as the material being conveyed, grain size and conveying speed. Our KALOCER aluminum oxide ceramic is often used. It protects against extreme abrasive wear, promotes sliding and is characterized by a very high operating temperature. It is also corrosion-resistant and can be manufactured precisely in thin walls for a weight-saving overall lining. KALMETALL hardfacing welding is extremely impact and abrasion resistant and is used to produce long-lasting conveyor screws. Kalenborn uses the wear-resistant material to manufacture the screw flights and the shaft. The variety of our own wear-resistant materials enables us to produce the right lining for every requirement.
