We propose high-performance solutions for main,
secondary, and tilting runners (from the first installation to the
maintenance) to ensure total reliability, achieve long campaigns, and
reduce the maintenance downtime. For other casthouse floor equipment,
such as runner covers, we propose well adapted products which provide
quick and easy applications as well as long service life.
In order to achieve long campaigns, Atoor
Refractories Co. supplies and installs a wide range of wear linings for
casthouse floor consisting of high alumina ultra low cement castables
containing carbon and silicon carbide. The SiC content can be varied
depending on the severity of corrosion. The carbon has been optimised to
resist corrosion and oxidation. These products can be cast in place or
prefabricated. To reduce the maintenance downtime, we recommend:
- Dry vibrating mixes, which require no mixing, and no drying.
- Prefabricated shapes which can be installed quickly.
- Wet ramming mixes can be used to carry out fast
localized repairs. These products can also be used for entire main
troughs and secondary runners.
Key product categories include:
- Dense cast-vibrated castables
- Dense self-flowing castables
- Wet gunning / shotcreting mixes
- Dry gunning mixes
- Ramming mixes
- Dry vibratable mixes
