Cast basalt floor tiles

Description

Cast Basalt floor tiles are a material with decorative appeal and exceptional physical performance characteristics. It is one of the hardest ceramic materials known. They are selected for two key reasons: unique aesthetics and high performance.

Manufacturing techniques

Basalt is one of the hardest natural materials known to man and is renowned worldwide for its longevity. Basalt, as a neovolcanic rock is smelted in the gas furnace at around 1280° C and cast into metallic or sand moulds at a temperature of around 1200° C. The cast basalt tiles are annealed in a furnace for approximately 16 to 21 hours to achieve the uniform crystalline structure that gives our finished tiles superior long-term performance and their unique appearance.

Sizes

We offer a large range of shapes and sizes – this catalogue contains many of our most popular types. Given minimum production quantities and enough lead-time, we will make special moulds to your dimensions and patterns. Call us for for assistance with custom designs.

Cast Basalt tiles are made in hard-metric sizes.

Appearance

Cast Basalt Tiles are naturally black with some tinges of bronze. The surface is not perfectly flat.

Cast Basalt Tile Characteristics

• High compression strength
• High abrasion resistance
• Chemical resistance
• Non-absorptive
• Frost resistant
• High durability
• Ecological and hygienic compatibility
• Unique appearance not found in any other tile material

Advantages:
* Utilizing Cast Basalt enhances and improves operational life of plants.
* These are best suited for jobs where extensive cutting is needed.
* We can also deliver pre-cut tailored tiles based on the considerations of vibration, impact and other factors at client’s end.

Combined with the cast basalt production technology. We can manufacture cast basalt tiles according to various sizes and shapes.

Ultra-thin cast slate: the thinnest 12mm

The self-developed ultra-thin Cast basalt tile is a new product of the international advanced level.

Cast basalt tiles is mainly used in thermal power plants, steel mills, mines and other parts with heavy wear, such as raw coal bunkers, mine bins, coal unloading trenches, hoppers, ore troughs, flotation machines, chutes and other parts.

• Round coal bunker lining: ultra-thin cast slate 14-20mm thick;
• Coal discharge ditch lining: commonly used 25-30mm thick cast slate;

Coal drop bucket lining

lined with cast slate, generally 25-30mm (high chromium steel is best used for coal drop points);
