In mining and mineral processing, dense medium cyclones and alumina ceramic composite pipes face extreme abrasion from high-density slurries. Engineered ceramics like ZIRCONIA TOUGHENED ALUMINA TILE (ZTA) and ceramic wear liners provide unmatched protection. ZTA tiles, with 92-95% Al₂O₃ and zirconia toughening, offer 10x higher wear resistance than steel, ideal for cyclone walls and pipe bends.
Alumina ceramic composite pipes integrate ceramic linings (e.g., 92% alumina tiles) with steel shells, resisting abrasion in coal prep plants and ore transport. Ceramic pipe lining systems, paired with wear resistant coatings, prevent erosion in high-velocity slurry lines. For dense medium cyclones, pre-engineered ceramic liners reduce downtime by 50%, extending equipment life to 5+ years.
Case studies show mining sites using these solutions cut maintenance costs by 40%, thanks to ceramics’ thermal stability (up to 1500°C) and corrosion resistance. From cyclone overflow bends to pipe wyes, engineered ceramics ensure reliable, long-term performance in harsh industrial environments.
