Here we have examples of abrasive materials. When handling abrasive materials, equipment, bin, hopper, and transfer chute liners may wear out prematurely causing unplanned shutdowns. Jenike & Johanson has an abrasive wear tester to measure the wear rate of bulk solids against a surface at various pressures. The results are insightful for design and maintenance plans. Knowing how abrasive a bulk material can be will help the designer to select a suitable abrasion resistant liner or different wear strategy (i.e., rock box, micro-ledges) to ensure equipment longevity, reduce maintenance requirements and liner replacement costs.
