Your Equipments
Blast Furnace
The blast furnace is used for smelting to produce industrial metals, such as pig iron, lead or copper. The refractory lining of a blast furnace must withstand many challenges, such as the consumption of coke and energy.

Tap-Hole
In a blast furnace, the molten metal produced is tapped through a hole situated at the bottom of the furnace’ hearth called the tap-hole. This area of a blast furnace is critical to the casting operations and needs dedicated refractories.
All Details
Casthouse Floor
The casthouse directs the molten iron from the blast furnace to the torpedo ladles. Molten iron and slag exit the blast furnace through the taphole into the trough. Casthouse floors must maintain a high campaign life as well as remain reliable.
