Silicon carbide liners for new pumps, and ceramic plates fitted to worn pump parts.
Ceramic on the surfaces where slurry moves fastest.
For new pumps, or fitted to the parts you already have.
In abrasive slurry, ceramic liners in reaction bonded or alumina bonded silicon carbide on the suction side plate, the impeller and the volute are the pump liners that keep their shape where high alloy and rubber linings wear out. Blasch designs and casts these liners for new pump parts and as a repair: worn metal pump plates are machined down and fitted with ceramic plates, so the casing stays in service. OXYTRON and NITRON grades are added where temperature or chemistry makes the wear worse.
The impeller throws the slurry outward at speed. The suction side liner and the impeller face see the incoming flow, the volute takes the stream on its way out, and the clearance between impeller and suction liner opens as both wear.
As that gap grows, slurry recirculates inside the pump, head and efficiency drop, and the wear speeds up. When the pump is finally opened, liner and impeller often go out together.
That makes the pump a planning problem as much as a materials problem. Parts that wear slowly and evenly let you change them at the shutdown you chose, together with the rest of the circuit.
A slurry pump performs only as well as the gap between impeller and suction liner, so a liner that holds its shape holds the pump's output between rebuilds.
Each part is designed to the dimensions of the pump it goes into, with precise tolerances so it seats like the original part.

Ceramic wear faces on the impeller, where the solids leave at the highest velocity.

Blasch engineers design, make, repair and install linings on new or worn pump parts. On a worn pump plate, the damaged face is machined down and fitted with ceramic plates, which turns a scrap part into a lined one.
The grades are InVinCer RB (reaction bonded silicon carbide) and ALTRON (alumina bonded) for most slurries, with OXYTRON, NITRON and silicon nitride where the duty calls for them. Nitride bonded silicon carbide
Ceramic pump components are used in mining and mineral processing, oil and gas, cement and general industry. Ceramics for mining and mineral processing
The pumps often feed hydrocyclones and slurry lines that wear on the same particles, see hydrocyclone liners and abrasion resistant valve parts. The whole range is on wear products.
No. Blasch makes ceramic liners and components for the slurry pumps already in your plant, as new parts or fitted to worn ones.
Liners are made for the slurry pumps of the major manufacturers. Send the pump model and size, and the engineer checks the dimensions.
No. A worn part or its dimensions are enough to design the ceramic liner.
Tell us the pump model, the slurry and how long the liners last today. A Blasch engineer proposes the ceramic parts for that pump.
