Ceramic Tiles • Wear Protection

Songatech ceramic tiles: proven wear protection that saves plants money

When steel and rubber liners fail early, Songatech ceramic tiles keep equipment running. With extreme abrasion resistance and custom fit, our tiles extend life in chutes, pipes, and hoppers — reducing downtime and maintenance spend.

Key facts

  • Materials: Alumina ceramic (92% & 95%), ZTA (Zirconia Toughened Alumina)
  • Formats: Plain, hexagonal, weldable, mosaics on rubber/steel backing
  • Sizes: Standard 100 × 100 mm, 150 × 150 mm or cut-to-drawing
  • Thickness: 6 mm to 50 mm
  • Applications: Chutes, pipes, launders, cyclones, hoppers, impact zones
  • Bonding: Epoxy, rubber backing, weld-on steel plates

Overview

Ceramic tiles outperform steel and rubber liners in sliding abrasion. Songatech ensures precision cutting and bonding so liners align correctly and stay locked in under heavy duty. The result? Longer life, quieter operation, and reliable protection against wear.

Abrasion resistant Impact ready Custom cut

Benefits

  • Up to 10× longer life than mild steel liners
  • Extreme hardness (9 Mohs) for sliding abrasion
  • Lower maintenance and reduced downtime
  • ZTA and backed tiles for combined abrasion + impact
  • Standard modules or cut-to-fit for complex layouts

Alumina Ceramic Tiles

92% and 95% alumina options with hardness up to 9 Mohs. Best for sliding abrasion in chutes, launders, and cyclones. Thickness 6–50 mm.

Standard abrasion duty

Hexagonal & Mosaic Tiles

Mounted on rubber or steel sheets for curved surfaces. Provide seamless coverage with fewer joints, preventing slurry leaks and weak points.

Full coverage

Weldable Ceramic Plates

Ceramic bonded to steel plates with weld studs for mechanical fixing. Perfect for hoppers and bins handling bulk material slides.

Heavy-duty fixing

Zirconia Toughened Alumina (ZTA)

Combines hardness and toughness for impact + abrasion zones. Used at transfer points, feed chutes, and heavy drop areas.

Impact + abrasion

Quality assurance

  • Hardness testing (Mohs, Rockwell) per batch
  • Dimensional and flatness checks
  • Bond strength verification on backed tiles
  • Certificates available on request

Frequently asked questions

UsageWhere should ceramic tiles be used
In sliding abrasion zones like chutes, launders, and cyclones. For impact-prone areas, ZTA or backed tiles give added strength.
Cut-to-fitCan the tiles be cut to drawings
Yes. Songatech supplies precision cut-to-fit tiles for complex layouts. Panels align properly for quick install and durability.
FixingHow are tiles fixed
Depending on duty, tiles are bonded with epoxy, rubber backing, or welded to steel plates. Each method is proven for long service.

Note. Alumina tiles suit sliding abrasion; ZTA and backed options are best where impact is present.

Selection guide

Chutes & laundersSliding abrasion

Use Alumina ceramic (92% or 95%). Thickness 6–25 mm. Extends life in slurry handling lines.

Cyclones & pipesWet abrasion

Choose hexagonal or mosaic tiles. Thickness 10–25 mm. Perfect for curved surfaces requiring full coverage.

Transfer & impact zonesImpact + abrasion

Install ZTA or rubber-backed tiles. Thickness 20–50 mm. Resists cracking under heavy drop loads.

Hoppers & binsBulk handling

Fit weldable ceramic plates. Thickness 20–50 mm. Strong fixing for long-term heavy-duty service.

Custom layoutsCut-to-fit

Order precision cut tiles to plant drawings. Ensures tight fit and fewer joints in complex areas.
