The first step to put into practice efficient wear protection is a suitable design according to the particular application and the material. The basis will be an application-specific system analysis, taking into consideration all existing mechanic, thermal and corrosive loads in a plant. On this basis, CeramTec-ETEC specialists develop economic solutions, including recommendations regarding the appropriate ceramic material as well as further processing and assembly. Due to the fact that the individual ceramic tiles can be precisely tooled before firing, ceramic linings made by CeramTec-ETEC don’t need to be adapted on site, meaning much less reworking and considerable cost-saving which certainly is an important advantage. By means of this CAD assisted service, it is possible to provide a detailed layout drawing and thus guarantees time and cost-saving assembly, if required, by CeramTec-ETEC mechanics. Finally, considerably lower downtimes as well as much longer maintenance and repair intervals can be achieved – meaning maximum economy!
