Basalt Lining Tiles
Durable basalt lining tiles designed for wear resistance in industrial applications.
Cast basalt tile is a mineral material produced by melting natural basalt at a temperature of approximately 1300°C, followed by casting into moulds.

Cast basalt tiles are made by melting basalt rock in a furnace and then pouring the molten material into molds to create various shapes and sizes of tiles.
Cast basalt tiles are manufactured through a series of specialized processes involving raw material preparation, melting, casting, and annealing.
The resulting cast basalt tiles are extremely durable, resistant to wear and tear, and can withstand high temperatures, making them ideal for use in the construction of industrial plants, power stations, and other heavy-duty facilities. Cast basalt tiles are commonly used to line the interior of chutes, hoppers, pipes, and other high-wear areas, where they can protect the underlying structures from abrasive materials, corrosion, and erosion. They are also used as decorative tiles in buildings and public spaces due to their natural beauty and unique texture.
These very hard tiles are made for very heavy industrial use, but also feature a beautiful metallic sheen. Originally used for sewerage systems or piping pieces, these pavement tiles are made by melting natural basalt and casting it into metal moulds.
Basalt is the new miracle fire protection material. Made from volcanic rock and able to withstand 2500 degrees for unlimited time while having 3x the tensile strength of steel.
Compared with traditional concrete, basalt fiber-reinforced concrete has the advantages of higher tensile strength and less cracking.
Cast Basalt is a naturally occurring basalt rock wear resistant material. Offering superb abrasion resistance this mineral is quarried, melted, cast and annealed to form a fine crystalised glass ceramic of extreme hardness that resists erosion. Cast Basalt is supplied in pipe and tile form and provides an excellent hardwearing surface for corrosive wear and abrasion protection of equipment.
Cast basalt tiles are known for their excellent wear resistance and are commonly used in applications where abrasion and corrosion resistance are critical, such as in pipelines, chutes, hoppers, and other high-wear environments. Having these tiles in stock allows for quick response to customer demands and efficient fulfillment of orders.

Other specifications of cast steel pipe lined with basalt can be manufactured according to customer technical requirements. Suitable for large-diameter basalt lining steel pipes with a nominal diameter greater than 800mm. Generally, according to the running status of the pipeline, different cement is used to fix the basalt brick inside the finished steel pipe to complete the basalt lining steel pipe. Its advantages are good wear resistance, wide range of use, basically not limited by the size of the pipeline and low cost of pipeline installation.
Comparison of Ceramic lines with few other materials under standard conditions :
Material | Thickness(mm) | Approx life ( Months ) |
---|---|---|
Mild Steel | 10 | 3-5 |
Cast Iron | 20 | 6-8 |
Ni-Hard | 20 | 12-14 |
Cast Basalt | 30 | 20-25 |
Ceramic | 10 | 35-40 |
Hard & Compact Smooth & Inner Withstands High-Abrasion & Corrosion In any of the process industries especially Sled and Cement corrosion and abrasion lead to significant downtime of the plant. Further, the useful life or the equipment itself may get impaired because of the high abrasive nature of the materials being used. Thus, ‘wear mechanism’ results in hut down, replacement, etc., which is costly, resulting in loss to tilt: tunic of millions of dollars.
The bend radius should be minimum 3 times of the nominal bore. At discharge end of each bend, cast basalt lined straight pipe of length 5 to 12 times the nominal bore must be used.
Basalt tiles can be placed and jointed in cement or specially-defined bonding agents, as demanded by the intended application. Basalt tiles can be provided with a central hole that is countersunk for individual bolting, or as ready-made liner plates and pipes.
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.
