Wear Solutions for Energy Production and Recovery
From the grinding of solid fuels (fluff, DIB, biomass, shells, bagasse…) to injection, from mechanical or pneumatic material transport to separation systems, your equipment is exposed to severe stresses: intense abrasion, corrosion, thermal shocks.
Whether in thermal power plants, energy recovery units, or renewable energy production sites, PRODUR supports you with proven materials for each critical area: mills, feed screws, injectors, cyclones, electrostatic precipitators, flue gas ducts, ash and slag recovery systems…
High-Performance Materials for Your Mining Installations
In critical areas exposed to severe sliding abrasion and high temperatures, such as piping, hoppers, cyclones or chutes, we prioritize the use of technical ceramics: DURHART® 200, an electrofused ceramic, and DURZALT® 40, fused basalt.
These solutions ensure excellent longevity, even in humid, abrasive, or fine particle-laden environments.
For equipment or components subjected to abrasive flows, impacts, or cyclic loading, we offer DURSTEEL® steels (410, 460, 510) — for standard or structural applications, or our high-performance Creusabro® 4800 / 8000 abrasion resistant steels, particularly effective against combined wear and impact.
Finally, the DURAPLATE® overlay plate range, with complex carbide-based overlays, provides reinforced protection in severe wear areas.
The D45T grade, in particular, is designed to withstand high temperatures (up to 700 °C) in thermal applications.
Manufacture of Wear Parts to Drawing for the Energy Sector
PRODUR manufactures, according to your drawings and specifications, critical parts exposed to abrasion, impacts, or extreme temperatures: ducts, hopper liners, elbows, nozzles, injection burners, coal burner blades, valve side liners, dispersers, conveyors, piping.
Each part is produced in strict compliance with your specifications to ensure perfect compatibility with your existing installations.
Reliability Improvement of Your Critical Installations
We also intervene to improve the reliability of your equipment exposed to severe conditions: mills, ash conveying systems, slag extractors, etc.
After analyzing recurring failures and actual stresses, PRODUR proposes concrete improvements: material changes, design modifications, reinforcement with overlay plates or ceramics.
Our teams can also perform on-site measurements to reverse engineer parts, even in the absence of original drawings.
We turn your wear challenges into sustainable performance!
CASE STUDY
Reliability improvement of a stainless steel hopper
As part of a maintenance operation on a high-temperature storage line, PRODUR manufactured stainless steel 310 hopper bottoms, a material resistant to heat and corrosion.
Produced to drawing, these components include all necessary elements: flange, hatch, strike tube… A durable solution to reinforce your demanding process installations.
CASE STUDY
Reliability improvement of coal burner blades
To enhance the wear resistance of coal burner blades, PRODUR designed a robust solution combining ground Duraplate® D31T (severe abrasion, smooth surface) and ALDUR® 240 ceramic on critical areas.
Result: controlled flow, extended service life, and reinforced protection in a demanding thermal and abrasive environment.
CASE STUDY
Manufacture of a Complete Ash Re-Injection Piping System
Facing severe sliding abrasion on an ash re-injection line, PRODUR manufactured a series of custom piping lined with Durhart® 200.
This electrofused ceramic, extremely hard (9 Mohs), provides exceptional resistance to sliding wear. A durable solution to reduce maintenance and secure critical installations.
