Monolithic refractories allow designs to be faithful to basic specifications because there is no need to be constrained by brick joints and other various design limitations.
By adopting anchor metals and anchor tiles, furnace walls of any thickness and shape can be designed.
Furnace casing precision poses little restriction to achieve the intended finished size.
With an appropriate anchor design, it becomes possible to produce a seamless monolithic structure that adheres well to the casing. Consequently, slag permeation, gas leaks and air inflow can be prevented.
By using pre-casting and prefabrication construction methods, appropriate blocks and furnace walls can be built on site, as required.
Expansion allowances can be set at any chosen location.
Material Properties
Due to their low thermal conductivity, energy loss is small. Thin furnace walls as well as lightweight casing structures thus become possible.
They have superb volume stability and anti-spalling properties. Damage from rapid heating and cooling can thus be minimized.
Damage to the furnace casing is also reduced due to a good balancing of their heat expansion and permanent contraction.
As the sintered layer on the surface prevents metal and slag entry, the furnace structure is highly resistant to corrosion.
There are a large variety of binders available for a wide range of applications. It is, therefore, possible to select a construction method and materials that best suit the design, specification, construction, and operation of any particular furnace.
Construction
It is possible to carry out simultaneous installation at multiple locations, thereby enabling the construction time to be shortened.
Excellent construction control is achieved, as even inexperienced workers can handle the installation.
Mechanization and manpower reductions are possible through the use of gunning, pump-up and prefabrication, resulting in reductions in construction time and costs.
In contrast to the bricklaying construction method, no loss results from cutting and processing. The burdensome tasks of transporting and identifying a number of differently shaped bricks are done away with.
Emergency repairs can be done quickly, safely and economically.
Partial repairs can be performed quickly and properly.
Furnace Repairs
Rapid heating and cooling is possible because of their low thermal conductivity. This shortens the furnace shut down period.
Given the absence of major collapses when they are used, the residual life of a damaged area can be accurately assessed. This allows furnace repair plans to be laid out easily and lowers the risk of emergency shutdown.
The products are packed and are available in bags or drums.
