Cast stone chutes
Due to their wide range of unique qualities, cast basalt is actively used in ash and slag removal systems, sewage systems, and other channels designed for transporting abrasive and chemically active waste. Cast stone products are resistant to corrosion as well as abrasive and chemical impacts. A distinctive feature of basalt channels is their ease of installation.
The physical characteristics of cast stone products allow for complete interchangeability of elements at intersections. Fused basalt is naturally resistant to corrosion and has a smooth surface with a low coefficient of friction (compared to concrete, the coefficient is K=0.04 (mm)). Cast stone channels provide excellent chemical resistance against standing wastewater and alkaline environments. The absence of absorption in cast stone channels eliminates the risk of leaks and groundwater contamination, ensuring high adhesion with concrete and the possibility of using bolted connections. Minimal distance between connected parts of basalt channels and their efficient installation is achieved through high precision manufacturing.
Diabase channels are used in various structures, including longitudinal and oval collectors with a rotor-like shape. They are utilized in the construction and repair of mines to minimize the risk of collapses and as braking surfaces in inclined mine shafts, as well as in the construction and repair of channels for wastewater treatment and providing safe passageways in high-humidity conditions.
Cast stone channels are most commonly used in the following areas:
- In sewage treatment systems;
- In channels running under buildings and structures of special significance;
- In the beneficiation industry related to the extraction of minerals.
