High quality refractory linings

  • High quality castables specified according to service environments

  • Safety layers and high insulating properties for maximum efficiency an

  • Multi-layer construction

  • ​Lowest practical skin temperatures

Flexible designs based on proven concepts

  • Modulating holding burner maintains temperature without disturbing metal surface and creating dross

  • •Extended pockets with independent heating

  • •Chip melting pockets

  • •Optional metal transfer by pumppump transfers.

  • •Tilting or tap-out filling of transfer ladles

  • •Porous plug degassing in holding baths.
