Furnace Relining – Can Metal To Metal Be Achieved In Seven Days?
In this contribution to Aluminium Times from IMS and Permatech, Inc, it is suggested that the use of the company’s BIG-BLOCK™ refractory manufacturing and installation expertise brings the possibility of relining a furnace, from metal to metal, in seven days, ever closer.
The concept of being able to carry out the relining of an aluminium holding or melting furnace, metal to metal, in a period as short as seven days might be thought impossible. Right now, this is probably true. However, after success in recent projects, Permatech and IMS believe they have the only solution that is able to look at 10 days as being an achievable rebuild programme, with eight days being the goal. Utilising their “BIG BLOCK™ refractory manufacturing and installation expertise, Permatech has recently redefined the time required to refurbish a 100-tonne-capacity tilting melt furnace. Using their proprietary techniques and skilled engineering project management, Permatech has proved that it is possible to take a furnace from hot and full of metal, back to hot and full of metal inside 10 days.
