Saint-Gobain Performance Ceramics & Refractories’ ceramic lining products are installed in large conveyor systems around the world. The conveyance and transfer of materials is a challenging and demanding process, primarily due to abrasion and impact from the large volumes of abrasive materials frequently transferred onto conveyor belts.
Ceramic materials with high wear and impact resistance offer a number of advantages over traditional materials such as AR steels, weld overlays, plastics or ceramics embedded in urethanes and rubber.
These advantages include:
- Reduced overall down time due to maintenance and frequent changeovers
- Reduced risk of loading skirt leaks
- Reduced risk of hazardous spills on walkways
- Reduced risk of holes in head and tail chutes
