We see from your search that you're looking for information on the term "Abrasive Material",
and we have a large number of manufacturers' news releases and technical articles here on Engineeringtalk which will be of interest.
Let me be your guide.
Start with
the news release Bearings tolerate extreme sports from
Igus (UK), which we summarised at the time by saying "iglidur Z bearings from igus were set into custom carbon fibre and Kevlar wheels to meet the needs of land boards".
Several months prior to that,
we featured the news release Seals keep bulk materials in their place from
CinchSeal: "KWS Manufacturing Company uses CinchSeals on all its screw conveyors, screw feeders, vertical screw conveyors, shaftless screw conveyors, bucket elevators and continuous mixers".
In May 2005, we covered the news from Larox Flowsys
concerning its LPP pumps
- take a look at Pumps survive ground calcium carbonate duties
which says: "Pumping of an abrasive material causes only a little or no wear at all for LPP pumps because there is no high velocity difference between the pump internal surfaces and the abrasive medium".
Take a look also at the news release from Rota Val, Slide valves suit cement and abrasives,
as well as System ensures constant abrasive flow from KMT Waterjet Systems,
and Eliminate a primary cause of engine wear from Blue Diamond Technologies.
