In heavy industries such as mining, quarrying, and mineral processing, equipment is constantly exposed to severe wear from abrasive materials and high-flow ore movement. Traditional steel liners often struggle to withstand these harsh conditions, leading to frequent replacements, high maintenance costs, and unplanned downtime.
Reglin’s Cera-Wear Ceramic Wear Liners provide a long-lasting, impact-resistant solution for protecting critical equipment in high-wear environments. By combining the superior hardness of 92% alumina ceramic with the shock-absorbing qualities of rubber, these wear pads are engineered to significantly outperform standard wear materials in both wet and dry applications.
The Power of Alumina Ceramic in Wear Protection
At the core of every Cera-Wear Liner is a premium quality 92% alumina ceramic tile. A high-purity industrial ceramic utilized for its exceptional abrasion resistance.
What Are 92% Alumina Ceramic Tiles?
92% alumina ceramic tiles are high-performance industrial ceramics made primarily from aluminium oxide (Al₂O₃). The “92%” refers to the purity of alumina in the composition, with the remaining 8% typically consisting of stabilizing agents and minor additives to enhance processing and performance.
Cera-Wear Ceramic Wear Liners feature the highest quality premium tiles. These ceramic tiles are engineered for extreme hardness, chemical stability, and exceptional wear resistance, making them ideal for use in high-abrasion environments such as mining, quarrying, and mineral processing operations.
Why Are They So Abrasion Resistant?
The exceptional abrasion resistance of 92% alumina ceramic tiles is due to several key material properties:
- Extreme Hardness
With a hardness rating of around 9 on the Mohs scale, alumina ceramic is second only to diamond and a few other superhard materials. This allows it to resist cutting, scratching, and gouging from abrasive ores and minerals. - High Density
These tiles have a dense, tightly packed microstructure with minimal porosity. This structure resists penetration and surface erosion caused by high-velocity material flow and particle impacts. - Corrosion Resistance
Alumina ceramics are chemically inert, providing excellent resistance to chemical attack from slurries, reagents, and harsh processing environments that would degrade traditional steel liners. - Low Friction Surface
The smooth, hard surface of alumina reduces drag and material buildup, contributing to reduced energy consumption and promoting consistent material flow.
The Result: Longer Wear Life, Lower Maintenance Costs
By switching to Cera-Wear Ceramic Wear Liners, operators benefit from:
- Dramatically extended liner life—often 5–6 times longer than steel liners
- Reduced shutdowns and maintenance frequency
- Better protection of structural components
- Improved operational efficiency and cost savings over the long term
Conclusion
