The operating temperature in a pusher furnace is generally up to 1250°C (for special steel grades like high silicon steel please contact us directly). Calderys has a full range of solutions: cast-in situ, plastic to cast/gun/ram, Quick Drying and Sol-Gel, Spraycast or Precast.

Walking Beam furnaces are the most advanced type of furnaces for the reheating of heavy and thick products. The temperature is generally around 1250°C but can reach 1450°C in some cases. Calderys has a full range of solutions: cast-in situ, plastic to cast/gun/ram, Quick Drying and Sol-Gel, Spraycast or Precast.

Walking Hearth furnaces allow the transportation and reheating of different sizes of material. Unfortunately, the back-face of the stock cannot be heated so that the stock residence time may be long. Consequently, the corrosion by scaling becomes important as well as abrasion. The temperature is generally around 1250°C. Calderys has a full range of solutions: cast-in situ, plastic to cast/gun/ram, Quick Drying and Sol-Gel, Spraycast or Precast.

This furnace is for holding hot steel ingots to equalize their temperature before they are hot-rolled in a steel-making or rolling mill complex. Normal practice is to charge ingots into the soaking pits immediately after stripping from the moulds whilst they are still hot. Soaking pit temperatures are generally controlled at 1300°C. Each pit may hold several ingots and serves to bring the ingots up to a uniform temperature for rolling and to act as a reservoir to accommodate fluctuations in the flow of ingots.

The roller hearth conveyor system consists of a series of externally driven rolls. There are no cumulative conveyor pressures or tensions as in belt, chain or pusher furnaces. As a result, there are no production or cycle limitations and furnace length is dependent only upon your application needs. Because individual conveyor rolls are externally driven and remain in the same temperature zones, they are not subject to thermal cycling and can be designed for maximum operation life at working temperatures. You will find below a brief description of our range.

Our castables for iron troughs are designed to combine a total reliability with a reduced maintenance downtime, whatever the length of the campaign.

BOF operations are at the forefront of refractory engineering and services. At Calderys, we understand the dynamics between lining design and refractory selection, in order to maximize the highest possible vessel performance.

Tap-hole clay manufacturer for over 40 years, Calderys will put its experience and expertise to work for you with customized tap-hole clay options, to optimize the 3 main operations of a blast-furnace: plugging, opening and casting operations.

Repairing the stack allows to extend the lifetime of the blast furnace and to insure best possible productivity and constant quality of the cast iron at the lowest possible consumption of coke and energy.

Calderys offers a variety of refractory solutions for all kind of ladles, receivers, and converters as well as unheated pouring units which usually are all exposed to extreme temperature changes as well as aggressive slag build-up. Versatile products reduce the amount of work needed to keep those vessels clean and ready for their job.

For the steam methane reformer, Calderys will partner with you to choose the ideal mix of high-performing insulating refractories. Our XL monolithic range provides excellent insulating value, and where more strength is needed the LW range can be employed.

These units (SRU - Main Burner, Main Combustion Chamber and Waste Heat Boiler) are severely under attack from high temperatures, thermal shock, and sulphur. Calderys has a complete range of CO resistant materials and engineering designs to withstand the demanding requirements of the SRU.

The grate cooler is divided into different sections. The hot part requires a heat-resistant lining withstanding the high chemical load. The colder part can be lined with standard materials like chamotte-based monolithics or bricks.

Besides the standard monolithic based solution, we are producing precast / ready shaped blocks made by a special technique. Our solution significantly increases the performance lifetime of the nose ring lining. Contact our Cement experts for full details on this precast solution.

Calderys is offering and installing standard products based on the worldwide established refractory design for cement rotary kilns. However, we have developed unique solutions on the market for the most critical areas of the kiln.

The tire positions are very often showing strong shell deformations making it difficult to install bricks. Calderys’ solution for these areas is a unique monolithic concept. With our CALDE®  MAG CAST K 85 SP we are not only able to do easy installations but we also significantly increase the performance in these kiln sections.

Our experience in the Cement industry shows that fireclay (chamotte) based refractories are the the best solution for the upper meal pipes of the pre-heater tower. We adapt to the changing work conditions in the bottom meal pipes by supplying a monolithic material with a non-sticking behavior. We offer a number of different castable solutions for this equipment.

For this Aluminium foundry area, Calderys is focused on providing you with the highest metal quality by offering refractory solutions for zero metal impurities and chemical pick-up. To avoid hydrogen pick-up, Calderys experts recommend precast (ready-shape) or in-house equipment lining using our trusted monolithic refractories for the most immediate and efficient servicing.

Calderys will provide you with tailored recommendations on all options for transport ladle linings, including hot face coating, cold repairs, as well as in-house relinings (deliver your ladle to Calderys for the relining — highest installation efficiency), and even on-the-road ladle solutions for aluminium transport with ultra-low thermal loss. Just contact our refractory experts for our advice and for a dedicated brochure on the Aluminium transport ladle.

The Coreless Induction Furnace, commonly known as CIF, is an effective furnace type for remelting clean scrap and processing difficult aluminium alloys (such as lithium containing alloys) as well as master alloys. Top performing refractory solutions for this equipment need to strike a balance between the speed of relining and refractory performance.

Multiple refractory installation techniques are possible: the best-known are DVM (dry vibrating mix), wet ramming mass, and precast crucible. Calderys can supply full solutions (products and services) for all CIF areas including coil grout, spout, rings, cover, and any patching repairs.

Please contact our refractory experts to request a specific brochure on Aluminium CIF.
