About VKT
VKT Gesellschaft für Verschleißschutz- und Klebetechnik mbH, headquartered in Hüttlingen (Baden-Württemberg), was founded in early 2008 and specializes in wear protection for heavily stressed plant components. The product range includes ceramic wear protection INFINITE SHIELD (silicon carbide) and INFINITE SHIELD LIGHT (aluminum oxide), in which ceramic elements are bonded to the component using high-performance adhesives, as well as composite plates made of chromium carbide and tungsten carbide and automated hardfacing with hardness values up to 65 HRC. Components from small sheet-metal parts to large cyclones are coated; assembly is carried out in the factory or on-site at the customer. Customers come from the wood, construction materials, cement and foundry industries, mining, power generation and wastewater treatment. Typical applications include mixers, screws, trough chain conveyors, fans, pipe bends, rotary valve airlocks and piping. The staff have many years of experience in plant engineering, bonding technology and wear protection, including process development.
