Flo Lined
sales@lorenz.ca
Treatment to Tube & Pipe for preventing “Angel Hair”
& “Snake Skin” in plastics conveying systems.
Theory Behind “Flo Lining”
The interior of tube or pipe (11 ga. minimum) has a hammered 昀椀nish
applied to it. The 昀椀nish is extremely irregular without the sharpness
encountered in sandblasting. Testing has proven that the surface
hardness increased as much as 10% due to the hammered stress.
Conveying lines which utilize Aluminum alloys will work harden
therefore increasing the life of the textured surface. When originally
tested the hammered 昀椀nish scored so low that the tests were
repeated several times to be certain that the generation of 昀椀nes,
昀氀u昀昀 and streamers were consistent. *Aluminum or Stainless Steel
Tube & Pipe are available for lining.

Ceramic Lining
Treatment to Tube & Pipe for reducing
abrasion in conveying systems.
Process of “Ceramic Lining”
The Elbow or Fitting is cleaned. The Ceramic is pumped into the
Elbow or Fitting and hot air dried. After the moisture is out of
the Elbow it is placed in a furnace at 1560º to fuse the Ceramic
on the interior of the Elbow. The hardness of the Ceramic is
between 8-10 on the MoHs scale. This interior coating can be
applied as a single coat (6-8 thou thick) or a double coat (10-12
thou thick). The Ceramic lining provides a long lasting interior
on Elbows or Fittings to prevent abrasion. Carbon Steel is the
preferred material to line. Stainless Steel can be done as well.

Back Elbows
“Ceram Back”®
Elbows & Fittings
The Ceram Back Elbow has a jacket across the back of
the core Elbow which is approximately 1/2” of Ceramic
compound. This compound has a MoHs hardness of 9+.
The Ceramic jacket and core Elbow is then wrapped
with an exterior material to maintain hoop strength.
Once the core Elbow has worn through, the abrasion is
transferred to the Ceramic outer jacket. The core also
acts as a static conductor.
