Applications: Ladle Furnace Roof
 
 
LADLE FURNACE ROOF
   
In this important application damaged refractory causes expensive heat loss and repair. ME fibres minimise these costs, particularly in the thin refractory walls between electrodes, denying heat an escape path and keeping energy and production costs down.

Recommendation: ME 446


Ladle Roof Uning

Production costs rise when aggressive slag attack and extreme shock combine to reduce the lining integrity and increase energy loss and maintenance costs. ME fibres hold the lining intact for longer, thereby improving thermal insulation and energy conservation.

Recommendation: ME 446

Ladle Up
Intimate contact between the roof and ladle lip is essential to prevent heat loss and minimise production costs. A fibre reinforced lip is more resistant to distortion so even if cracked, heat retention and energy costs are optimised.

Recommendation: ME 446
