Silicon carbide inserts, liners and shapes for cement, TiO2, pelletizing, pet coke and glass plants.
Clinker, pellets, pigment and coke wear out metal parts every campaign.
Precast silicon carbide shapes that take their place.
The ceramic linings that protect cement, pelletizing and glass plants are precast silicon carbide and alumina shapes that replace metal parts in hot, abrasive or alkaline service: clinker cooler wear inserts, multicyclone dust collector parts, lined elbows and pipe, valves and dip tubes. Blasch casts them in OXYTRON, NITRON and ALTRON silicon carbide, grades developed for abrasion at high temperature and for alkali attack. The same approach covers micronizer linings in titanium dioxide plants, reactor linings for pet coke and silicon production, and burner parts for glass furnaces.
Heavy industry has long relied on cast iron, alloy steel and thick monolithic refractory. They are easy to buy and quick to wear out.
The dry calcining process combines heat, alkali and abrasive dust. OXYTRON and NITRON clinker cooler wear inserts and grates are made for that combination.
Multicyclone dust collectors, pipe liners, valves, dip tubes and thimbles are available for any area of the plant that sees abrasion or heat. Lined elbows take the wear in cement and raw meal conveying.
Pelletizing kilns use the same parts: wear resistant dust collectors, piping, valves and reactor linings. SiClone in an iron ore pelletizing plant
Replacing a metal wear part with a ceramic one is only worth it if the next inspection finds nothing to replace, and that depends on choosing the grade for the plant's actual dust.
In the finishing section of TiO2 plants, micronizer liners, hot tickle piping, valves, reactor linings and chlorinator parts are cast in silicon carbide grades developed for that abrasion and chemistry.
Pet coke and silicon production use reactor vessel linings and impingement block linings. In pet coke conveying to a boiler, lined elbows have run 12 to 18 months where mortar backed box elbows lasted 3 months.
Glass, building materials and wire lines need burner parts, kiln furniture, weir bars, wipe stones, rollers, guides and immersion heater tubes for galvanizing baths.

Titanium dioxide plants are covered with the chemical processes under refining and chemical processing. Kilns and sintering furnaces are under industrial process heating.
SiClone mechanical dust collector components replace cast iron multicyclone parts at about one third of their weight. A chemical plant and an iron ore pelletizing plant have documented the change. SiClone in a chemical plant
The previous Blasch site listed Tim Connors (Director of Business Development, Blasch Global Solutions) as market manager for heavy industrial processing.
Clinker cooler wear inserts and grates, multicyclone dust collectors, pipe and elbow liners, valves, dip tubes and thimbles, plus burner parts and custom shapes where the duty is hot or abrasive.
OXYTRON and NITRON silicon carbide combine abrasion resistance at high temperature with resistance to alkali attack, which wears out many metal parts.
Yes. Many parts are designed as dimensional replacements for the metal part, so the equipment around them does not change.
