Cast basalt floors

Description

In addition to the specific advantages of this material, the extraordinary look of a cast basalt floor will also appeal to you: Its blue, shimmering, and fiery surface gives every surface or room an attractive, innovative, and appealing look. Thanks to its properties, cast basalt can be installed everywhere, indoors as well as outdoors.

Cast basalt tiles are a durable, economical solution that is also visually very attractive – regardless of whether you choose smooth or anti-slip tiles. The latter is available in four surface designs with fine grooves on the bottom of the tiles. They are available in square or hexagonal shapes or designed as staircase steps.

The combination of the properties of basalt with functional elements such as formpieces or L-sections with rounded edges is important to ensure a perfect connection between the horizontal floor and the wall as well as easy care and maintenance. We offer such elements as skirting sections in various shapes and sizes.

We offer cast basalt tile lined elbows for coal bunkers and chutes. These cast basalt tiles are bedded as well as jointed in cement/special bonding agents like resins depending upon application. These tiles, mostly find application in automotive industry and are designed to provide long-lasting lining and enhancement to involved operational life cycle for both plant as well as equipment.

The main advantage of a cast basalt floor is clear

• Robust thanks to its high abrasive resistance
• Easy to care for, thanks to its chemical resistance

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.

Application

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);
