Refractory Removal

Our specially engineered demolition equipment is remote controlled and significantly improves worker safety. Eliminating hours of heavy manual labor through machine utilization.

  • Precision refractory removal
  • Placement of pre-cast shapes using mechanized equipment

Remote-controlled equipment remains onsite for the duration of the project.

Precision Belly Band Repair & Hot Patching

  • Rotary profiling can begin while the furnace is still hot
  • Low-speed, high torque drive hub allows for precise corundum removal without impacting refractories
  • Oscillating rotary spray head applies monolithic material to replace void from corundum removal
  • A specially designed scraper blade removes all excess rebound

Furnace life is extended and maintenance costs are significantly reduced.

Furnace Hot Cleaning

  • Remote operated removal keeps workers away from heat and debris
  • Precise corundum removal minimizes impact to refractories while corundum is 95% removed to increase furnace volume
  • Scheduled preventative maintenance reduces outage scope and cost

Furnace downtime is significantly reduced as clean out starts once burners are idled and reheat time is minimized as furnace is still hot after corundum removal. Furnace is back online within hours, enabling more metal production and greater profits.
