Worldwide employment in power stations
A power station constructor plans and builds thermal power stations all over the world. As a market leader the company relies on modern, environmentally friendly and economical plant. The right wear protection for this is irreplaceable. For initial commissioning of newly built power plants in China and Austria, the company therefore relies on support from […]
Biomass producer extends ducting life with a combination of Kalenborn solutions
At one of its largest bio-solids recycling plants, a leading company in the biomass industry has specified a trio of Kalenborn abrasion-resistant solutions to extend the life of critical ducting. The state-of-the-art thermal drying facility is part of a joint venture with a major U.S. city and the plant handles all the city’s bio-solids. The […]
Wear-resistant sugar beet flume conveyors
Upon delivery to sugar factories, beets are transported by conveyor belts or water flumes to the beet washing unit, where sand, leaves and stones are removed. The flume conveyor portion of this application is primarily subject to impact wear, while the rest of the application is subject to high abrasive wear. At a well-known sugar […]
Special case from the glass industry: Wear protection and monitoring in a batch conveyor
It is an unusual contract when the colour of the wear protection is a key aspect. In the glass industry, though, it is not only extremely high-performance wear protection which is in demand. In order for fully transparent, clear varieties of glass, such as plate glass, not to get dirty during manufacture, it is preferred […]
Sugar beets slip wear-free even after 30 years
In one of the world’s largest sugar refineries the ABRESIST lining of the sugar beet collecting bunker is working since more than 30 years. The bunker has a diameter of about 10 m. Daily 23.000 tons of sugar beets are unloaded in the bunker, 145 days a year. As a result, about 100 million tons […]
KALCRET used in wastewater treatment plant
Kalenborner wear protection solutions are also used in applications one would not necessarily think of, for instance in wastewater treatment plants. During the treatment process, many kinds of solid matter are removed that can cause considerable wear to the plant. KALCRET is the remedy. A Kalenborn client based in Schwäbisch Gmünd is one of the […]
ABRESIST used to protect coke silos
In late 2012, a major steel producer from Brazil approached the Kalenborn do Brasil branch office: at a plant near to Rio de Janeiro there were problems with wear on two coke silos. Shortly after the plant was constructed, in August 2011 the silos were each half lined with hardened plates and Kalenborn’s ABRESIST material. […]
Slide promotion for heavy equipment
In the mining industry, huge dump trucks are used with loading shovels to move rock and spoil. These heavy machines transport many tonnes of material and are therefore exposed to serious wear. One of the biggest mining companies in Brazil turned to the engineers at Kalenborn do Brasil for a very special assignment: to equip […]
KALOCER lining for cyclones
Coal-fired power plants burn coal dust at temperatures exceeding 1200°C. The process also melts the mineral components of the coal. The result is pulverised fuel ash or fly ash. These solid dust grains, which consist mainly of silicon, aluminium and iron oxides, are separated from the smoke gas flow in cyclones by means of centrifugal […]
