Abstract: An impact panel for protecting mining equipment may include a plurality of ceramic tiles affixed to a base plate. The impact panel may further include at least one fixing hole disposed within the plurality of ceramic tiles and the base plate with a metal frame disposed around an outer peripheral edge of the plurality of ceramic tiles that is also affixed to the base plate. The impact panel may have at least one plug disposed inside the at least one fixing hole to seamlessly cover the at least one fixing hole. The panels may also be wired with sensors that will communicate with process control circuits allowing data collection on remote process and remote mining equipment.

Abstract: A pump adaptor outlet pipe is provided with a smaller diameter section to be secured to the outlet of a pump and a larger diameter section connected to the smaller diameter section by means of an annular shoulder. The small diameter section and the larger diameter section, as well as the shoulder, are completely lined with ceramic tile material. An in-line flow diverter pipe section is provided with a pivoted value plate. The value plate and the pipe section are completely lined with ceramic material for diverting the flow of material passing through the pipe section proportionally between two smaller diameter outlet pipes.

Abstract: A pipe elbow for transmission of abrasive materials therethrough defining a square or rectangular cross-sectional shaped flow passageway in the area wherein the direction of flow of said abrasive material is changed, said pipe elbow including an outer casing comprised of planar or curved planar surfaces having an outer and an inner surface, said pipe elbow further including a plurality of tiles lining the entire inner surface of said outer casing so that the inner surfaces of the tiles define a flow path defined by at least four sides of a box shaped bend section comprising a deflection wall receiving the greatest abrasive force, two side walls parallel to each other and perpendicular to the deflection surface, and a fourth wall perpendicular to the side walls and facing the deflection wall, said inner tiles having a substantially greater wear resistance to abrasive material flowing therethrough than said outer casing.
