The Ultimate Solution to Severe Abrasion

HUDCO enables you to win the war against severe industrial abrasion with WearLine® , the remarkable technological advancement in wear resistant ceramic tile. Developed and manufactured by HUDCO from years of intensive research and practical in-fi eld experience, WearLine® is the only wear resistant material that effectively resists both impact abrasion and sliding abrasion. As a result, WearLine® saves the materials handling industry more maintenance dollars than other wear resistant lining available.

 

WearLine® is a high density ceramic composed of 90 – 92% microcrystalline alpha alumina and less than 2% silica. WearLine® has the highest density (227.2 Lb/ft3 ) and the lowest residual silica content of any commercially available ceramic tile. In field applications and laboratory tests WearLine® has consistently out performed in both wear and impact resistance. WearLine® is the most effective and economical ceramic tile on the market.

 

ADVANTAGES

Superior Wear Resistance

WearLine®’s fi ring methods (23 hours longer and 1000°F

higher) are superior to other ceramic tiles giving WearLine

the highest density and best wear characteristics.

 

High Impact Resistance

3 to 5 times better impact resistance than standard ceramic due

to stronger grain boundaries.

 

Saves Down Time & Maintenance Costs

WearLine®lasts 3 to 7 times longer than the other ceramics

tile resulting in increased productivity.

 

Increased Flow Rates

WearLine®polishes in use resulting in decreased friction,

reduced material blockage and increased through put.

 

Dimensional Stability

WearLine®maintains its exceptional dimensional stability and

resists temperatures up to 2900 without warping or loss of

abrasion resistance.

 

Low temperature applications

WearLine®s surface is impervious to moisture preventing

material from freezing and sticking at low temperatures.
