The firm EUTIT has the largest manufacturing capacity, has the unique and modern equipment which makes EUTIT plant number one in the world in the field of producing of cast basalt.
Cast basalt is produced by melting selected natural basalt in shaft furnaces at temperatures around 1300 °C, followed by casting into the desired molds. Of significant importance is the following tempering process, in the course of which the molten basalt forms uniform, spherulitic crystals which contribute to its physical properties such as extreme hardness and abrasion resistance.
EUTIT received certification to ISO 9002 in 2001, ensuring the quality of products and the quality control system is maintained at consistently high level.
Cast basalt lining are very suitable for hydraulic transport of very abrasive materials and sludge. Pneumatic transport in heating and power plants, mines, transport of various abrasive or chemical materials etc. may use cast basalt lining up to maximum speed 22 m/s (acc. to transport media) and maximum temperature 400°C. Special basalt cast pieces – bends, branches, T-pieces, Y-pieces, jets, cyclones etc. – replaced the components from high-alloy steels and multiplied the equipment lifetime by five to twenty.
Besides the good wear resistance capability, cast basalt is also resistant against most acids and alkalis. The smooth surface of cast basalt even after a long operation period is one of the important characteristics of this material.
Application area of cast basalt abrasion-resistant lining:
mixers for concrete and casting mixtures
through chain conveyors
lining of milling cylinders
coal, ore and sand hoppers,
chutes, blenders, separators
dragline conveyors of abrasive materials
spatial lining of industrial equipments
etc.
