Mining


Whether you are operating a mine, processing plant or servicing the mining industry, Blasch can help you engineer the working components exposed to abrasion, high temperature or corrosion.  Blasch works with designers and engineers to replace existing materials or monolithic structures with pre-engineered silicon carbide shapes, reducing costs and driving down the cost of raw materials.

Classifying, Separation, Mixing


Mines worldwide rely on Blasch high performance Altron™, Nitron™ and Invincer by Blasch™ monolithic drop-in replaceable silicon carbide liners specifically engineered for classifying applications in sizes up to 60 inch diameter.  Liners are designed for highly abrasive ores processed such as coal, iron ore, gold, copper, cement, FGD and phosphate mining. With a variety of highly abrasion resistant compositions available, Blasch engineers assist both OEM’s and single mines in achieving financial performance objectives by optimizing classification efficiencies, maximizing cyclone life and eliminating costly installation costs traditionally found in epoxied tile constructions.

Hydro Metallurgy


World class autoclave and pressure oxidation developers continue to push the envelope in scale and process conditions.  They appreciate the limitless size and shape capability that Blasch can offer.  This gives them the freedom to engineer very complex, Nitron™ high temperature, abrasion and corrosion resistant lining systems for items like silicon carbide Flash Pots, Quench Vessels, Choke Tubes, Vent Blast Tubes, Impingement Blocks, Oxygen Injection Nozzles, and Pipe and Valve systems.
