Abrasion-resistant pipes
BMI designs, manufactures and improves the reliability of wear-resistant pipes for conveying abrasive materials: dust extraction, suction and pneumatic conveying.
OUR WEAR PROTECTION EXPERTISE
A WIDE RANGE OF WEAR-RESISTANT MATERIALS
BMI selects and combines different solutions according to the wear mechanisms encountered: ABRA-FACE / ABRA-GLIDE overlay plates, CERAXIS technical ceramics and CERAFLEX coating.
Each element of the network is protected according to the area actually exposed to wear: straight section, elbow or impact area.
A GEOMETRY DESIGNED AGAINST WEAR
In a pipe, wear is concentrated in the elbows, where the flow strikes the wall.
BMI designs elbows with a toroidal interior, which guide the flow and reduce the impact area.
AN INTEGRATED INDUSTRIAL FACILITY
Cutting, rolling, boilermaking, hardfacing and assembly: BMI carries out the main production steps in-house.
An industrial facility designed to manufacture custom wear-resistant pipes, from a single element to the complete network.
EXPERTISE FROM THE FIELD TO ENGINEERING
On-site 3D scanning, reverse engineering and adaptation to the existing network: BMI elements fit in place of the original parts, with adapter flanges if necessary.
The goal: extend the service life of the network and limit shutdowns for replacement.
To address the different wear mechanisms: abrasion, erosion, impact or clogging, BMI implements different technical solutions:
– ABRA-FACE, overlay plates for areas exposed to severe abrasion
– ABRA-GLIDE, smooth-surface overlay plates to improve material flow
– CERAXIS Zr250, fused alumina-zirconia ceramic for elbows and areas of intense sliding abrasion
– CERAXIS B50, cast basalt ceramic for straight sections and areas of regular abrasion
– CERAFLEX, sprayed elastomer coating against clogging and erosion
EXISTING
OR NEW PIPES
BMI improves the reliability of your existing pipes or manufactures new elements: straight sections, elbows, reducers, round-to-square transitions and adapter flanges, to drawing or reverse-engineered on site by 3D scanning.
Elbows are designed with a toroidal interior, which guides the flow and limits the impact area:
– Toroidal internal geometry, with no sharp edges
– Reduced impact area and better-distributed wear
– Replaceable wear sleeves on critical areas
– Installation on the existing network, with adapter flanges
