OTHER pRODUCTS Than SHAPED AND UNSHAPED REFRACTORY

Refratechnik Cement develops and builds innovative lining systems for the cement and lime industries, whereby special attention is given to the thermal insulating properties. Refractory insulating materials from Refratechnik Cement are supplied in various shapes and types – e.g. panels, mats, cords, wool, and paper – to meet all the demands placed on modern high-quality refractory structures.

products for PAPER & PULP

The selection of suitable refractory products for lining a Mesa plant requires an intensive study of the operating conditions. Depending on the lining zone, the causes of wear can be very different. However, the main causes of wear are thermal, chemical, and/or mechanical.

Moreover, low heat losses are desirable. Hereby, the processing conditions, the plant’s mechanical condition and the possibility of installing refractory technology as well as its quality are decisive.
