Melting solutions

Unique quarry-to-furnace model

We supply refractory solutions for coreless induction furnaces (CIF), cupolas, ladles, receivers, converters, and holding and casting furnaces, as well as special bricks and insulating materials.

Our range of silica-based refractories produced from our own Swedish quartzite is made from the highest grade of raw material in the world.

Its excellent thermal stability and chemical resistance make it the perfect lining for DVM (dry vibrating mix) and inductors. The Spinel-forming DVM product line is a longstanding industry benchmark for steel CIF and uses raw materials with high refractoriness and all-round corrosion resistance.

This unique quarry-to-furnace model ensures high reliability and quality. Calderys also benefits from dependable, consistent access to other essential raw materials for foundry refractories.

Your Equipments

Holding Furnace

Holding Furnace

The holding furnace is used for heat preservation, standing and casting of molten metal.

Pouring Furnace

Pouring Furnace

The pouring furnace is used for melting and pouring the molten metal into casting molds.

Ladles & Receivers

Ladles & Receivers

Ladles are bucket-shaped vessels used to transport and pour out molten metals in the metalcasting process. Both ladles and receivers exist in many shapes and sizes and require verstatile refractory products to operate efficiently.

Coreless Induction Furnace (CIF)

Coreless Induction Furnace (CIF)

The coreless induction furnace (CIF) is a vessel surrounded by an electric current in the copper coil. This forms an electromagnetic field, generating heat energy that melts the metal scrap that is placed in the vessel.

Long Campaign Cupola

Long Campaign Cupola

A cupola is a melting furnace used in foundries that can be used to melt various types of metal, such as cast iron, Ni-resist iron and some bronzes. The cupola can be made in almost any practical size, which makes the cupola a versatile furnace.
