We usually have three options when choosing vibrating screen mesh, including:
• Vibrating Wire Mesh Screen
• Polyurethane Screen Mesh
• Rubber Vibrating Screen Mesh
Of the above three types of screen mesh, vibrating wire mesh screen has the most open area, averaging about 60% or so, making woven screen mesh the most efficient compared to the other two materials.
Vibrating wire mesh screen has the following advantages:
• Widest range of applications
• Largest open area, wire available in various diameters
• Wires available in 65Mn and stainless steel for both abrasion and corrosion resistance
• Lowest cost of ownership
• Most accurate particle sizing
• Faster installation and quicker changeover for frequent screen changes of different mesh sizes.
However, the more openings a vibrating screen mesh has, the shorter its wear life will be. Therefore, choosing a wire with high quality wear resistance, such as the high grade 65Mn material, will help to extend the life of the vibrating screen mesh and reduce downtime. Users should also strike a balance between wear life and efficiency when choosing screen mesh material for vibrating screens.
Vibrating wire mesh screen is the most commonly used vibrating screen mesh product. In most vibrating screen applications, vibrating wire mesh screen is the preferred choice of most users due to its highest open area and because of its ease of installation, which provides maximum flexibility for screening different sizes of materials.
Reinforced ceramic lined elbows are one of the common types of ceramic lined pipe. In the process of conveying highly abrasive materials (often used in pneumatic conveying systems), the outside of the 90° elbow is the most prone to wear, so ceramic lined pipe manufacturers will be reinforced with a layer of abrasive wear layer at the elbow, also known as backpack wear-resistant ceramic lined elbows.
The reinforcing layer is welded to the elbow of the 90°ceramic lined elbows and covers almost the entire back of the elbow. The inside of the welded steel plate is filled with a wear-resistant material, and the reinforcing layer filling port is closed after the material has cured, thus forming a strong and durable second layer of wear-resistant layer, which prolongs the service life of the wear-resistant ceramic lined elbow and reduces the frequency of elbow replacement.
This backpack ceramic lined elbows has high strength and toughness with excellent heat and aging resistance. It can operate at temperatures from -50°C to 350°C for extended periods of time. It is mainly used in pneumatic conveying systems to resist impact wear from highly abrasive materials.
For example, copper slag, garnet, quartz sand and other materials with a Mohs hardness of about 7, such materials usually have sharp edges, such solid-gas mixtures for a long time in the ceramic lined elbows scouring, elbow ceramic lining will be worn through in a period of time, at this time, to strengthen the wear-resistant layer will play a second layer of protection, so that the pipeline system can continue to be used normally, thereby reducing the downtime.

Wear-resistant ceramic rubber composite liners offer an effective anti-wear solution for applications involving sliding and impact wear, such as those found in the cement, steel, mining, and iron and steel industries. However, in many practical applications, wear-resistant ceramic-rubber composite liners are also susceptible to brittleness and a lack of impact resistance.
Consequently, in practical applications, the constant improvement of the impact resistance of wear-resistant ceramic rubber composite liners will assist in the extension of the service life of the wear-resistant ceramic liner and the reduction of equipment downtime.
The steel backing plate ceramic rubber composite liner is composed primarily of alumina, with a rubber bonding layer and a steel backing plate. Following vulcanisation, the alumina ceramic exhibits high wear resistance (HRA ≥ 90), while the rubber provides cushioning properties. The steel backing plate enhances the overall mechanical properties of the wear-resistant lining plate, rendering it superior to conventional metal wear-resistant lining plates. Through the study of practical applications and the implementation of special processes, ceramic industry engineers can further enhance the general wear-resistant ceramic composite liner's impact resistance.
• The surface design of the liner incorporates a ceramic raised structure:
The ceramic raised structure serves to disperse the impact force, thereby reducing the likelihood of fragmentation of the steel backing plate ceramic rubber composite liner. This method is commonly employed in the industry to enhance the impact resistance of the ceramic liner.
• Increase the surface rubber exposure area of the composite liner:
Wear-resistant ceramic rubber composite liner due to ceramic impact resistance is weak, ceramic block between the reasonable gap design (or the use of cylindrical or hexagonal ceramic materials), can be through the liner surface exposed rubber, to enhance the overall impact resistance of the composite liner.
• Toughness enhancement treatment of alumina ceramics:
A certain proportion of zirconium oxide is added to the alumina, which can greatly enhance the impact resistance of the wear-resistant ceramics.
Alumina wear-resistant ceramic rubber composite liner through the ceramic block raised design, while increasing the surface area of vulcanised rubber, and with the help of alumina composite zirconium oxide and other processes, so that the wear-resistant ceramic rubber composite liner to further enhance the impact resistance, and therefore can better adapt to most of the heavy sliding abrasion, strong impact abrasion and other working conditions.

As a key component of the rotating shaft of the cement mill, the contrarotating ring plays a vital role in preventing large particles of dust from entering the sealing chamber, thereby safeguarding the bearings.
The original process for this cement plant spare parts utilises ST 37-2+HVOF with an HRC of approximately 60.
The contrarotating ring creates friction with another sealing part when the spindle is rotating, which over time accelerates the wear of the surface, leading to a decline in sealing performance. Therefore, the maintenance department of the cement plant needs to replace this part periodically.
Due to the high cost of the contrarotating ring produced by the HVOF process, it is necessary to first accurately machine the ordinary steel plate to an outer diameter of 1200mm, an inner diameter of 1010mm, a thickness of 12mm, and to maintain the surface flatness. These production requirements are very high. Subsequently, tungsten carbide must be sprayed on both sides using high-speed oxy-fuel spraying technology. Finally, the surface roughness of Ra1.6 can be achieved through the processing of a large grinding machine.
The high purchase cost of the HVOF contrarotating ring places significant pressure on the user. Following a technical analysis between our customer and Cafu's technical team, it was decided to replace the original cement plant spare parts with a contrarotating ring made of NM400 wear-resistant steel plate. This is a high-quality wear-resistant steel from China that can be used in a wide range of applications that require resistance to abrasion. It is a good alternative to many composite wear-resistant materials.
