Silicon Carbide Hydrocyclone Wear Liner

Ceramic Protection For Slurry Systems

Advanced silicon carbide ceramic liners engineered for long-lasting wear resistance in high-performance hydrocyclones and separation systems.

Silicon carbide hydrocyclone liners offer superior abrasion and chemical resistance, extending service life and efficiency in high-velocity slurry separation applications.

Silicon carbide hydrocyclone wear ceramic liners are precision-engineered components made from reaction bonded silicon carbide (SiC), designed to extend the lifespan and efficiency of hydrocyclone systems used in mineral processing, power generation, and chemical handling.Silicon Carbide Hydrocyclone Wear Liner


Hydrocyclones separate solids from liquids using centrifugal force, exposing internal surfaces to intense wear from high-velocity, particle-laden slurry. To combat this, SiC ceramic liners are installed as a durable inner lining that resists erosion, corrosion, and thermal shock far better than metal or rubber alternatives.

These liners are available in various configurations including cylindrical sections, cones, apexes, vortex finders, and nozzles, custom-fit to your specific hydrocyclone model.

By upgrading to silicon carbide ceramic liners, operators gain longer maintenance intervals, lower operating costs, and more reliable performance in abrasive, corrosive, or thermally unstable conditions.

Silicon carbide (SiC) hydrocyclone wear ceramic liners are highly durable components used in hydrocyclones to withstand abrasive wear and tear. These liners are crucial in various industries like mining, mineral processing, and chemical processing, where hydrocyclones are used to separate materials based on density. SiC's exceptional hardness, wear resistance, and chemical resistance make it an ideal material for these applications. 

Key Advantages

Silicon carbide products are an advanced material widely used in high temperature, high pressure and high frequency environments.:

High Strength

Composite structure with ordinary steel outer wall meets strength requirements for various industrial processes.

Exceptional Wear Resistance

Inner ceramic layer (≥95% content) provides 30x better wear resistance than carbon steel pipes.

Corrosion Immunity

Corrosion-resistant composite layer enables use in acid, alkali, and salt environments.

High Bond Strength

Organic polymer matrix with inorganic ceramic reinforcement provides 14-16 MPa peeling strength (100x stronger than ordinary lining).

Wide Temperature Range

Continuous operation from 40°C to 200°C, with peak resistance up to 260°C.

Extended Service Life

Elbows show no significant wear after 1-2 years, outperforming thick-walled cast steel by nearly 10x.

Performance Comparison

Silicon carbide ceramic-lined pipes offer superior performance compared to traditional materials:

  • Carbon Steel Pipes 30x less wear resistance
  • Wear-Resistant Alloy Cast Steel 10x less wear resistance
  • Cast Stone Pipes Brittle, prone to cracking
  • Rubber-Lined Pipes Limited temperature resistance
