Basalt is kind of Neo volcanic rock with a particularly dense and even mineral structure. Its legendary hardness makes it the perfect material for use in our mineral wear protection products formely known’s Cast Basalt.The raw material is broken down, smelted at 1300 °C and cast as sheets, cylinders or Desired Shape. Careful temperature management is required to turn the natural resource into a very reliable material our mordenised manufacturing unit controls the process upto the fraction of seconds with high precision. In the smelting and tempering process, the mineral structure is compacted to create a radial symmetrical structure that ensures its outstanding resistance to pressure and abrasion. The material is also corrosion-resistant and provides a smooth surface with excellent slide properties.

GCE are the experts in enhancing plant components for the best possible transportation and storage of bulk materials, ensure plant operations run smoothly. Whether by protecting against wear or optimizing material flow.

Mechanical wear is a costly issue in just about every sector of industry. Wherever bulk goods are transported and processed, the abrasion they cause gradually damages the components. Often this wear only becomes noticeable when pipes, chutes, cyclones and other process components suddenly stop working at peak periods because of problems caused by wear. The material that has been damaged often represents just a small proportion of the financial damage. The downtime caused by the failure of a single component incurs massive costs, and then there is the expense of paying repair and maintenance personnel. Business experts assign a cost factor to wear-and-tear that makes up one percent of the developed nations' GDP. But there are ways of finding lasting solutions to the problem of wear. Lines, pipes, silos, bunkers and all other plant components that are prone to abrasion can be lined with highly effective materials that massively increase their original operating life.
GCE handles this job from start to finish, including designing and selecting the right wear protection materials, manufacturing and on-site installation, worldwide. We provide smart solutions that ensure operations run economically thanks to the best possible process reliability.

Zero Maintenance With Maximum Life

Slide promotion as a cost-cutter Bunkers, chutes, troughs and other equipment for transporting and storing bulk materials are often made of steel or concrete. However, their surfaces are generally insufficiently slippery to allow the material to flow across them. This results in materials clogging and creating build-ups and the flow becomes blocked.

An GCE wall and surface linings, which are specially designed to promote the smooth flow of materials Shows excellent slide properties with additional wear protection.
