Refractory construction for Heat treatment – batch

Batch furnaces are the most versatile heat treatment plants in industry. Chamber furnaces, bogie hearth furnaces, bell furnaces, shaft furnaces, muffle furnaces and forging furnaces cover a broad spectrum of applications: from annealing and hardening to tempering. SBS Refractory Service is your specialist for the refractory lining and maintenance of these furnace types.

Every batch furnace has individual requirements for the refractory lining — depending on process temperature, atmosphere, workpiece size and cycle time. Our experts analyse your operating conditions and develop tailor-made solutions that optimise service life and energy efficiency.

Modern ceramic fibre insulation can lower the energy consumption of your batch furnace by 20–40 %. We will be pleased to advise you on the economic optimisation of your furnace lining.
