Abrasion Resistance
Various techniques of abrasion control are offered for severely abrasive environments. Backward inclined blades produce abrasion patterns, which are concentrated near the center plate (back plate). Thus, the use of partial wear liners on the blade protects this zone and the blade center plate weld. A severely abrasive environment requires the protection of surfaces with resistant materials such as ceramic, chromium carbide or tungsten carbide. Sophisticated custom anti-abrasive dust deflectors can be added to guide the abrasive particles between the blades, significantly increasing the life of the rotor.
