Unique refractory solutions for ladles
The lining of the ladle must be optimized and adapted to suit the composition of the metal and slag, metal temperature and metal beam.
Bricks, monolithics, or a combination of the two? Which is the best refractory lining? Opinion is divided, but it is clear that both offer advantages:
- By tradition and experience, bricks are the preferred solution. They are a stable and secure solution, since they are pre-fired under controlled conditions. This enables you to heat the furnace faster after installation. Note that brick installation requires skilled masons.
- Monolithics are easier to install, and they provide a joint-free finished surface. However they also require careful mixing, as well as a controlled and gradual furnace heat-up after installation so that moisture content can evaporate.
In other words, the choice is yours. We have any solution you want!
