CASE STUDY
QUICK-FIRE® 88 wall veneer in top charge melting furnace
QUICK-FIRE® 88 was installed in a 17.5 ft x 33 ft 220,000 lb top charge melting furnace as a wall veneer over existing refractory.
The furnace walls are regularly subjected to high abrasion during cleaning and dross removal. QUICK-FIRE® 88 was an ideal choice for extending the lining life by casting a veneer layer on top of the existing refractory ceramic to better withstand the harsh conditions.
The furnace has been in service with no need for wall maintenance for more than two years. Previously, the furnace was on a quarterly repair schedule.
