Basalt is a volcanic stone, used in architecture for centuries. Although basalts boast the durability of a granite, they have the consistent coloration, markings and subtlety of a limestone.
Basalt lining tiles are used in floor covering, bunker’s walls and outlets, silos and other tanks using storage of bulk materials that are strong abrasion. Strong friction wear is caused when emptying the bunker and silos and, in addition, impact wear occurs during the filling process. This abrasion sometimes destroys cement bunker walls within a relatively short time. In practice, cast basalt tiles wear-resistant linings have proved to be an economical solution. The walls are lined with hexagonal or rectangular tiles. Circular bunker and silos are lined with radial rectangular or hexagonal form pieces, exactly fitting the respective circumference.
Rectangular and hexagonal tiles are used in the coating of large areas like bunker, silos and tank.
Advantages:
Cast basalt is a durable, resistant, and reliable and widely used manufacturing material being used in variant construction projects and industries. The linings made from cast basalt are strong and have long lasting effects. This is why most of the industries prefer using cast basalt linings in most of their manufacturing and processing operations.
We offer cast basalt tiles for coal bunkers and chutes. These cast basalt tiles are bedded as well as jointed in cement/special bonding agents like resins depending upon application. These tiles mostly find application in automotive industry and are designed to provide long-lasting lining and enhancement to involved operational life cycle for both plant as well as equipment.

Combined with the cast basalt production technology. We can manufacture cast basalt tiles according to various sizes and shapes.
Ultra-thin cast slate: the thinnest 12mm
The self-developed ultra-thin Cast basalt tile is a new product of the international advanced level.
Other than automobiles, some of the other industries where these are used in include:
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.
lined with cast slate, generally 25-30mm (high chromium steel is best used for coal drop points);
