INDUSTRIAL LININGS & COATINGS
DGC's comprehensive range of industrial linings includes international leaders, Kalenborn International’s wear protection solutions. Kalenborn established 100 years ago, provides protection for the environmental and heavy industries with wear-resistant linings which have excellent abrasion and impact resistance. The company provides custom design, manufacture, delivery, and installation of its materials to meet customers’ specific abrasion, impact and corrosion problems. This applies in particular to industrial plants handling raw material processing as well as, transport, storage including the processing of ores, sand, slag, coal, or recycled materials. In this article we will first briefly describe our wear protection materials and then outline some Abrasion & Wear Protection Solutions that are used in different industrial sectors. WEAR-RESISTANT MATERIALS
We rely on a high-quality range of mineral, ceramic and metallic materials as well as compounds and plastics. That variety enables us to create lining systems that are perfectly matched to each specific application. Our wear resistant materials include the following:
ABRESIST:
Wear-proof fused cast basalt for protection against frictional wear
KALCOR:
Zirconium corundum wear protection resistant to high temperatures and frictional wear
KALOCER:
Ceramic wear protection for plant components subject to extreme wear and temperature stresses
KALSICA:
Silicon carbide wear-proof material outstanding against frictional wear in hot conditions
KALCERAM:
Highly resistant against frictional wear with a low-friction surface which helps items to slide
KALPOXY:
Compound for the lining of plant components and for repairs, applied by trowel
KALEA:
Sprayable Polyurea-based wear protection for pipes and plant components
KALIMPACT:
Hard-material-rubber composite for heavy impact and wear loadings
KALCAST:
Very hard and wear-resistant chilled iron wear protection for mass-produced components
KALMETALL:
Welded hard surfacing for high resistance to impacts and wear
KALEN:
Technical plastic for corrosion-free wear protection which promotes sliding
KALDETECT:
Wear protection monitoring
INDUSTRIAL APPLICATIONS
Working in close collaboration with our customers, we develop concepts for sustainable solutions and then realize them - both in our own workshops and on-site customers’ facilities. Below is a summary of popular industrial applications as well as highlights from past projects in different industrial sectors:
CEMENT AND BUILDING MATERIALS Use Case Overview:
CEMENT PLANT
A Canadian Cement Plant was experiencing extreme wear issues on their cyclones. Quench tempered steel linings in six cyclones required patching at an annual cost of $60,000 to $80,000, nearly half of which was allocated to material costs. Because of quench tempered steel’s disappointing results as a patching material, the plant ordered a lining material made of fused cast basalt, which is resistant to the abrasive effects of clinker and can withstand the cyclone’s 250°C environment. “Since the installation in early 1986,” said the clien
