Wear Resistant Elbows and Components

Ceram-Back® Elbow

The Ceram-Back® 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+, second only to diamond, which has a Mohs hardness of 10. The ceramic jacket and core elbow is the wrapped with an exterior material to maintain the 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. Plain ends, flanges, threaded, and custom ends our available.

"Flat-Back" Elbow

The Cast Ceramic Flat-Back Elbow is designed and manufactured to withstand impact of large particle pneumatic conveying (particles 1/2" or larger) by using solid ceramic ties. Additionally, the Flat-Back Elbow uses a piece of pipe, or tube, for the inner substrate to lessen the turbulence caused by the inlet / outlet transitions that go from square to round. We can also manufacture special fabricated fittings using cast ceramic tiles. Plain ends, flanges, threaded, and custom ends our available.

Cast-Back® Elbow

The patented Cast-Back® Elbow is designed to withstand large particle conveying. It has a 3/4" thick solid ceramic tiles that fit around the back of the core elbow. The tiles snap together and are then wrapped with an exterior material to hold the tiles tight and help maintain hoop strength. once the core elbow has worn through, the abrasion is then transferred to the ceramic tile. The metal core also acts as a static conductor. Plain ends, flanges, threaded, and custom ends our available.

Other Ceramic Coated Parts

Progressive Products has the ability to coat whatever parts you may need. This includes laterals, TY's, Wyes, bifurcated bends, cyclones, tube adapters, blow-thru adapters, diverter valve transitions, wear plates, or your specific part. Plain ends, flanges, threaded, and custom ends our available.

Hollow-Back Elbow

Our Hollow-Back elbow is designed to capture abrasive product in the fabricated back cavity. The abrasive material then rides against itself. We fabricate the Hollow-Back by using a tube or pipe elbow, thus eliminating the need for transitions. Plain ends, flanges, threaded, and custom ends our available.

Mortar-Filled (Cement Back) Elbow

This elbow is similar to our Hollow Back Elbow, but the cavity is filled with concrete. Plain ends, flanges, threaded, and custom ends our available.

Replaceable-Back Elbow

The Replaceable-Back Elbow is constructed from a pipe or tube elbow. The sides are constructed of 12GA material welded to the bend. The back of the elbow is constructed of 10GA material, but 10GA AR plate and 1/4" is also available. Plain ends, flanges, threaded, and custom ends our available.
