PDFAll furnace typesRepair or reline? The three findings
When a targeted repair is enough, and the three findings where only a relining will hold.
The most common weak point on an industrial furnace is rarely where you look for it: it is above the door. Four causes and the route to a repair relining.

The most common weak point on an industrial furnace is rarely where you look for it: it is above the door. Across more than 500 refractory projects we see the same pattern at the door arch again and again.
Selective strip-out, renewed anchoring, precisely built formwork, monolithic casting and controlled drying. That turns an impending shutdown into a plannable intervention lasting a few days — with our own installation teams, without subcontractors.

Complete refractory relining of an aluminium melting furnace – from the extensively broken-out lining through to the seamlessly cast door frame in the most heavily loaded zone.

Maintenance work on the lid and door of a furnace at a long-standing customer – carried out quickly, professionally and with the utmost care.
