Solving Abrasion Problems in the Mining Industry
with Abresist Kalenborn Wear Resistant Linings

The mining industry involves many problems beyond the initial ore removal and handling of the large size feed. Most mines also include processing systems that include a variety of hydraulic and pneumatic systems characterized by high throughput rates and conveying velocities, where even apparently harmless materials cause significant wear.

To achieve both technical and economical wear protection, many factors are considered. The choice depends on a number of application parameters, including material size, conveying velocity, hardness, temperature and corrosive elements. The best solution for economical abrasion protection depends upon the proper selection of the wear resistant linings as well as the knowledge of expected cost.

Abresist Kalenborn has lining materials that include a wide
range of individual characteristics:

• Resistant to Sliding Abrasion
• Impact Resistant
• Corrosion Resistant
• Temperature Resistant to 1200° C / 2000° F
• Slide Promoting
