Wear protection comprises the use of special materials and techniques to protect against mechanical abrasion, erosion and corrosion in high-temperature areas.
Wear is the greatest enemy of any refractory lining. Whether mechanical abrasion from material flow, erosion from hot gases or chemical attack by slag – the loads in industrial furnaces are extreme. With our wear protection solutions, we significantly extend the service life of your lining and thereby reduce your operating costs.
We analyse the specific wear mechanisms in your plant and develop tailored protection concepts. We rely on proven high-performance materials such as SiC-containing castables, corundum linings, wear-resistant precast shapes and special coatings. Material selection is always based on the actual load profiles.
Our wear protection solutions typically pay for themselves after the very first extended furnace campaign. Through regular monitoring of wear progression, we continuously adapt the protection concept, optimising cost and service life over the entire lifetime of your plant.
Structured, transparent and on schedule — this is how we work.
Identification of the wear mechanisms
We examine the existing lining for wear patterns and determine the dominant mechanisms – abrasion, erosion, corrosion or a combination. Sample analyses and operating data feed into the assessment. In this way, we identify the causes and not just the symptoms.
Selection of suitable protection measures
Based on the wear analysis, we develop a tailored protection concept. We select the optimum materials and application techniques, taking cost, service life and installation conditions into account. Alternative solutions are evaluated and discussed with you.
Application of the wear protection solutions
The selected wear protection measures are implemented professionally by our specialists. Depending on the solution, ramming, casting or spraying techniques are used. All work steps are documented in accordance with our quality management system.
Monitoring of effectiveness
After commissioning, we monitor wear progression at regular intervals. The results are compared with the baseline values and the protection concept is adjusted where necessary. This ensures maximum effectiveness over the entire service period.
Our wear protection solutions extend the service life of your lining by 30–50% compared with standard materials.
We analyse the wear mechanisms and tackle the causes – not just the symptoms.
The higher material costs pay for themselves through fewer shutdowns and longer campaign lengths.
Through regular monitoring, we continuously adapt the protection concept to actual operating conditions.
