FAQs

Standard epoxy adhesives soften and lose their shear bond strength at temperatures above 120°C. Under the high-temperature sliding impact of freshly discharged clinker, softened epoxy bonds fail rapidly, causing the ceramic tiles to delaminate long before the ceramics themselves are worn.

Welded seams create heat-affected zones (HAZ) subject to residual thermal stresses, which act as premature fracture points and wear-channels under falling limestone lumps. GAC utilizes a heavy-duty hydraulic press brake to cold-form single-plate Hardox 500 TUF liners into smooth, curved chutes, eliminating high-wear weld joints and boosting structural integrity by 40%.

Quarry limestone often carries highly abrasive silica (SiO₂) impurities (~7 Mohs). Falling from conveyor discharge heights, hammer crusher tips endure severe dynamic impact combined with deep sliding gouging. Mild steel hammers undergo rapid plastic deformation and fail prematurely.

Tivar 88-2 has a maximum continuous operating temperature of 80°C (with short-term peaks up to 110°C). Therefore, it cannot be used in hot clinker hoppers or sinter-discharge chutes. Hot clinker applications require through-hardened Hardox HiTemp plates or Kalocer ceramic tiles.

Tivar 88-2 possesses two critical physical properties: an extremely low dynamic friction coefficient (0.08) and near-zero water absorption (<0.1%). Consequently, water in wet materials cannot form capillary suction on the lining surface, breaking cohesive bonds and ensuring continuous, uninterrupted Mass Flow.

Wet clay and gypsum possess high surface tension and cohesive properties. Stored in mild steel silos, moisture induces rusting, creating a rough surface that anchors cohesive materials. Over time, materials build up, causing bridging (Arching) or rat-holing, which interrupts material feeding into the raw mill.
