Application of CUMITUFF Ceramics in Coal based Thermal Power Generation:

Large quantities of non coking coal are handled in Pulverisor Mills, Pulverized coal pipes & bends, fly ash handling
systems, transfer chutes, hoppers, conveying and storing systems in Coal handling Plants.

CUMI can design/develop tailor-made solutions to address abrasion, erosion, sliding wear in Coal based Power
Generation equipments

For example, If pulverized coal pipes & bends / pulverizor mill equipments are protected with wear resist ceramic
liners, these systems will not experience frequent failure requiring repair or replacement, leading to increased
productivity & profitability

Benefits of CUMITUFF Products:

 CUMITUFF products are manufactured using high purity calcined alumina

 CAD designed pre engineered tiles to suit the profile of the equipments

 Spray drying, dry pressing & Sintering of alumina ensures an impervious structure, which is extremely important
for wear life of ceramics in comparison to cast liners which have small pores on the surface, which initiate the
wear path

 Alumina ceramics are highly dense & zero porosity products. Moreover the surface finish is 1.8 microns Ra in as
fired condition. Hence the sticking & clogging problem are minimized/eliminated

 Large Capacity to handle high volumes & faster delivery

 Application Engineering, Design & System integration capability Cost effective Installation Services

 CUMI provides solutions to Coal fired boiler power projects in combining its experience in Power Sector &
knowledge and skillful in high alumina Ceramics
