ArmorPIPE™ abrasion resistant pipeline systems from Imatech
Engineered Abrasion Resistant Pipes, Bends and Fittings
Imatech’s proprietary ArmorPIPE™ solutions are a full range of engineered abrasion resistant pipes, bends and fittings internally coated with Imatech’s high-quality abrasion-resistant BXR and MXR ceramic reinforced composites.
Pipe Sizes and Dimensions
ArmorPIPE™ is available as off-the shelf components in various standard sizes and dimensions and as a custom designed and manufactured solution for unique customer needs. Using the same design and production principles, Imatech can deliver a whole range of spools, bends, y-pieces, tees and any other intricate fittings to suit your pipeline application.
Wear Resistant Pipe Applications
Imatech's innovative engineered ArmorPIPE™ pipeline solutions provide an unsurpassed level of wear resistance to pipes, bends and fittings in abrasive material transport applications.
Features and Benefits
Tested under extreme abrasive conditions in mine backfill (case history), ArmorPIPE™ has proven to outperform traditional systems with substantially improved system availability and, importantly, the most economical solution with the lowest cost per tonne of fill reticulated.
The combination of superior wear resistance and a uniform wear profile makes Imatech’s ArmorPIPE™ systems particularly suitable for high-value and critical industrial processes such as slurry transport and mine paste-and wet/hydraulic backfill systems.
ArmorPIPE™ solutions incorporate the ultimate in pipe liner technology. The exclusive Imatech MXR™ and BXR™ abrasion-resistant ceramic reinforced composite materials are professionally applied to the internal surface of the pipe using innovative application techniques at Imatech’s manufacturing facilities. The result is a stable, long-lasting pipe liner with a gradual and even wear pattern, with no risk of catastrophic liner failure by sheet de-lamination.
ArmorPIPE™ pipes and components are custom-designed and manufactured to deliver the optimal wear characteristics for each individual application. Using the same design and production principles, Imatech can deliver pipes, bends (ImaBEND™), spools, y-pieces, tees and other intricate fittings to suit any application.
Couplings and tool joints - including screwed, welded, grooved and flanged connections - are tailored to customer specifications to suit existing systems and infrastructure, minimizing costs of change to the operation.
The optional innovative ImaGAUGE™ device can be fitted on any ArmorPIPE™ component to enable quick and easy in-situ wear monitoring without the need for pipeline disassembly or time-consuming inspection procedures.
Imatech’s engineered ArmorPIPE™ abrasion resistant pipeline systems are a solution that can outlast any other, giving our customers increased system reliability and production security, reduced maintenance requirements, a more economical solution and, most importantly, continued peace of mind in their operations.
