What Is Cast Basalt?
Naturally occurring Basalt rock is quarried, melted, casted and annealed to form a finely crystalised glass ceramic of extreme hardness (8,5 on the Moh scale).
What Is It For?
Basalt provides a long-lasting lining for static plant over which large volumes or abrasive and/or corrosive materials are passed.
How Is It Fixed?
Basalt tiles can be bedded and joined in cement or special bonding agents. The agents depend on the application. Tiles can be supplied with a countersunk central hole for individual bolting onto or in ready-made liner plates and pipes.
Where Is It Used?
Cast Basalt is best suited for wet material handling applications, such as coal chutes, ash sluiceways, ass pipelines at power stations, and hydraulic granulates slag or sand conveying systems. Basalt can resist wear corrosion and temperatures up to approximately 400 degrees, and should be used in light impact areas, if you are in doubt, let our sales engineer advice you on an impact friendly design.
