Kalenborn’s wear-resistant separators

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.

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.

Optimum extraction of sinter dust in the suction duct; abrasion protection and lowest possible volumes of false air. In pig iron production, steel mills and foundries, emissions are generated at many points, including sinter dust, which must be reliably collected and filtered. In addition to intensive filtration, the focus is on efficiency: the emissions must be extracted optimally with the lowest possible volumes of false air. Sinter dust, for example, causes abrasion and damages the suction duct in sinter plants. Kalenborn has lined the duct with the aluminum oxide ceramic KALOCER, which protects against extreme abrasion. The lining ensures a uniform volume flow in the duct and provides a longer service life for the plant component.

KALOCER was a proven solution for wear protection. As it can be produced in very thin shapes, the screw conveyor could be lined with precisely shaped parts for all-round edge protection. At the largest copper mine in Europe, ore is transported for processing by means of a screw conveyor. The high silicon content in the rock causes serious abrasive wear to the spiral vanes and edges, which leads to frequent repairs bringing high costs and process downtime. Thanks to good experiences they have had up to now with the wear-proof KALOCER material in outflow hoppers, hydrocyclones and chutes, the company decided to line the screw conveyor vanes and edges with similar KALOCER oxide ceramic. The key improvement over the previously unprotected conveyor is the all-round edge protection, since this is where the worst wear occurs, to the extent that the functionality of the conveyor itself is impaired. One other essential benefit of KALOCER is the capability to manufacture it into very thin shaped forms. This meant the screw conveyor vanes and edges could be lined with accurately shaped pieces, which were also optimised for weight. The shaped pieces were bedded
